Marketing and Publicity Services

Google Book Search

Promoting your book on the Internet is a great way to gain visibility for your book. Now iUniverse and Google have made it simple—at no cost to you—for readers to find your book information through the Google Book Search Partner Program. Google Book Search enables users to search the full text of books to find titles that interest them and directs them to online bookstores where users may buy the books.

iUniverse authors may opt in to the Google Book Search Partner Program when purchasing a publishing package or in the Completed Submissions section of their myUniverse account. When an author opts in to this program, iUniverse will send the book files to Google to be uploaded.

Google scans and indexes the full text of the titles so that when Google users enter search terms that match content within a book, the user will be able to view a small portion of the book that matches the search terms.

When users click on a book search result, they access a Google-hosted Web page displaying a scanned image of the relevant page from the book. Each page also contains multiple "Buy the Book" links, directing users to purchase the book from online retailers.

This special marketing program is available free for Premier Pro, Premier and Select titles.
