Can an AdSense Secrets Book be Worth the Money?

**koop51** · 11-27-2008, 08:09 AM

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 Yep, I've read it. I was very disappointed in the lack of content and the extremely basic nature of the material contained.

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?My advice is to forget the $80 book and read around the forums and the free articles which are in plentiful supply about Adsense.

If, however, you are determined to buy it, do please let me know so I can throw in a clickbank affiliate link

I've read it - as a heavy use of Adsense I didn't learn a lot of new things - however I found that it was a good refresher and it did remind me of one thing that I'd not tried which since implementing it has probably paid for the book for me numerous times over.

I'd say its worth a read if you're a beginner and want all the information in the one place - but if you're doing ok with Adsense already you probably know most of it and can pick up the information in forums or on other websites. I think I've probably written most of the tips myself at one time or another on my different sites or in forums so you can track most of it down around the place. The only advantage of the book is that its all in the one place.

Seems that many think they can click on their own ads for the hell of it.

So the moral - if you are experienced and know everything in my 8 posts on it you probably won't learn too much more (although like I said before there are a few things in it I don't write about) - if you're a beginner and want a good clear explanation of how to make money from Adsense with some tips that will work - go buy it (but do it after clicking an affiliate link for it on ProBlogger :-) )

If only there were more time in the day then I could get all of the pages I want to create done but every day I get further behind. Spending time in this forum isn't helping my content either. Help! I keep getting sucked back in.
