Are there any adsense ebooks worth the money?

    I am still new to all of this and I was wondering if someone could recommend me an ebook about finding profitable niches and adsense.

    None of them tell you anything you cant find here.

    That simple.

    There are only a few things that you need to do. Doing them is the hard part

    1 - Traffic and lots of it
    2 - Link building
    3 - Blend your ads
    4 - Place your ads appropriately
    5 - Put images near your ads

    That is pretty much it.

    Beyond that there isnt a lot you can do

    There are no ebooks or books worth buying.
    Check out Brad Callens free ebook though (dont have a link on me) and his free email course. Apart from that I cant recommend anything else apart from reading this and related forums.

    I would say no.

    Forums are your best source for information on Adsense.

    Even though I have seen eBooks worth $25,000 marked down to $22.95! So that is definetly a great price markdown and who can pass that up? :)

    I do agree with this statement above and certainly agree with the 5 points made but I find it a little hard at times to find exactly what I am looking for on forums but that could just be my searching skills. :)
    The adsense videos I promote in the link bellow are certainly well worth it in my opinion easpecially if you are a begginer, it helped my a lot easpecially in regards to ad placement. But they go into detail about the 5 points danny posted too.

    Learn all you can from the forums but if your struggling you may want to consitor the vids
    cheers

    I agree completely. #3 is the best - absolutely you must blend your ads. My comments: build a how-to site, or an opinion site. The Adsense links you get will then be a natural extension of what you write about.

    There is one other comment I want to make, something that the "Make Zillions with Adsense" waste of money eBooks don't tell you - <b>learn how to write really well</b>. You'll see the people pushing theitr Adsense products will hit you with a few one or two sentense zingers. Very good stuff, but I can guarantee that their products will never tell you how to write.

    Good marketing writing is deeply psychological. It follows your thought processes, and then follows your meta-thoughts - "thoughts about thoughts". Then it will tell you a story which is an parallel metaphor for your mental buying process. If the eBook doesn't teach you how to write, and if the publisher doesn't offer you any rexamples, then it is a complete and total waste of your hard-earned money!

    Yeah, read lot of webmaster forums.Books are a little bit outdated for this type of topics.Rates and techniques in adsense are updated almost everyday.

    I concur, ebooks about adsense Are a waste of money. You might as well spend the time reading the book actually creating backlinks and ground work for your site!

    Personally i wouldn't say stay away from ebooks and only use the forums, as a combination of both can be useful.

    Of course the get rich quick ebooks with the promises can be a waste of money that many cant afford to throw away, but as for the more mainstream books i would definately recommend them if you can afford them.

    Try to remember that an ebook or even forum information can help you make a decision but neither are going to give away absolute information and secrets.

    Just study lots and make sensible choices but dont be afraid to take a few chances.
