    Anyone give me some advice on Adsense? I have lost so much money on it and have not made a single dime off of it I am almost thinking it is a big myth and that people never do but just feed google with thier hard earned money. I've promoted a kick butt webpage with a great product and a awesome sales letter but still I get no results even though I have a high CTR 4%! Not sure what to do from here. Any ideas will be taken with careful consideration.:confused:

    What do you mean you've wasted so much money on adsense? Adsense only gives, not takes anything away.:)

    You defiantly need to figure out rather you lost money advertising with Adwords or you lost money making a site for Adsense.

    If it is the first one, you may have created a great sales page and think you have a great product but so do millions of others on the Internet. Did you do your homework and search out the competition? This is key to any product release.

    If it is the second one, Google can smell spammy websites and they don't like them. However, you do not lose money on Adsense, you either earn some or not earn any.

    What have you done to advertise and promote your site?

    Ok, ill try and keep this nice and short. First, it sounds like you are complaining about adwords not adsense. If that is the case, Sales letter sites suck, but hey...thats just my opinion. Second, you sound like you are trying to just jump into adsense, and make immediate money, which is the wrong way to approach it. Dont pay for marketing, build a quality website with a few backlinks, and the visitors will come to you in time. Ya, you dont make 10,000 in your first month that way, but in the long wrong, it gets the job done. I have never payed for traffic(adwords, backlinks, nothing...), and i used to make over $1000 a month. Thats not much, but its decent when its all profit. All in all, it sounds like you are very confused about what program you are using, and you are taking the wrong approach to making money online. Focus on a topic you know something about, build organic traffic(ya...it takes forever, get over it), and the money will start coming in.

    i think you are right but it is true for publishers and advertisers on very smaller scale!
