What is the Google Books Partner Program?

The Google Books Partner Program enables publishers to promote their books on Google. Google scans the full text of participating publishers' titles so that Google users can see books that match the topics that they are searching on. When a user clicks on a book search result, they're taken to a Google-hosted web page displaying a scanned image of the relevant page from the book. Each page also contains multiple 'Buy This Book' links, allowing users to purchase the book from online retailers.

We may also show contextually-targeted Google AdWords ads on these pages. Publishers will receive a share of the revenue generated from ads appearing on their content.

There are many benefits to participating in Google Book Search. As a Google Book Search publisher, you can do the following:

  • Promote your book for free on Google
  • Increase book sales at traditional and online booksellers
  • Expand your reach to targeted customers

You can sign up online at http://books.google.com/partner.
