Can an AdSense Secrets Book be Worth the Money?

**knightfire9242** · 11-27-2008, 08:09 AM

Hi,

I guess I am being driven by greed here, but I am tempted to buy Joel Comm's Google Adsense book. Has anyone read it (and would like to mail me a preview copy

)?

In general there are so many books out there claiming to teach you AdSense secrets. For those who have invested in these ebooks, do you find anything beyond the most common sense stuff on keyword selection, ad-unit selection, ad location, keep experimenting and tracking etc?

Thanks
Ajeet

Not really, you can get more ADSENSE secrets by doing keyword searches on any SEO or webmaster forum that has good threads on the subject.

I would not give anyone a dime for an SEO Book or an ADSENSE book.

Just buy them at the flea market later rather than pay full price man...

That page is important - but so are the others before it. High paying keywords are useless if you don't position them right or have any traffic.

Like I write in the posts - its an equation that doesn't work unless you work on all the areas. Some people just work on getting high paying ads and forget about the other elements. Its about a holistic approach IMHO.

Thanks All. I did not fall prey to my greed that wanted to peek at the secrets of a man making a lot of AdSense money.

I'm new here, but I say forget the book. I have learned more here in the last 2 days than I ever would have in spending $80 for some over-priced "secrets" book

I wish i had read this thread 12 hours sooner. Oh well. I did get some good tips. I also learned that if I want to go into real estate or law that I'd have some highpaying keywords. What FUN!

That's some tough love! lol

I know about the time issue. I just finished up 2 grad courses for this quarter, and am taking the next quarter off. I have about a week of freelance work to finish up and then less then a month to work on my site before my baby is due, after that, lord knows when i'll be able to sit down and do some serious work again!
