    he claims he made over $500,000 using adsense on the video but he doesnt actually tell you how he gets traffic. im very dubious about his claims. personally i think hes lying or spedning alot of money on traffic, either way hes hiding something

    him not revealing specifics doesn't mean he's hiding something. I mean, it's good to be skeptical, and I certainly wouldn't pay for anything he offers. but that doesn't mean it isn't possible to make 500,000$+/year on adsense/ypn/etc.

    it's quite possible. you don't need any insider secrets. consistantly build useful, interesting pages and eventually you'll get there.

    The video seems suspect to me as he claims all his pages came online at the same time. This seems very unlikely.

    At the same time it is possible to make heaps of CA$H. www.plentyoffish.com makes over $10,000 of the green stuff per, wait for it... DAY!!!

    I am with TG2006 on this one. Every internet guru that shows their stats shows a bucket load of traffic.

    I did see some traffic information at some guru's sites and after some quick conversions their CTR was around 1.5% and worked out to 4-5cents per click.
    Just to give an idea...

    I'd love to see this guys stats for the doubters:

    Plenty of Fish Adsense Interview

    The guru factor is not required but oodles of traffic makes oodles of money at average click rates.

    Bottom Line stats for www.plentyoffish.com
    16,000,000 page views and $10,000 per day would about equal just a few percent CTR since not all page views have ads on them at his site!

    Thanks wcwarren,
    Anyone wants do discuss how to get 'massive traffic' like these people do.
    Are there any quick tools that we can use to study plentyoffish.com
    and figure out which percent of traffic comes from where.

    It seems to me that most of the people trying to capitalize on their AdSense success with videos, annoying sales pages for ebooks, etc, are hawking tools to mass-create and promote useless MFAs.

    um no...that will simply waste your time if you want to make REAL MONEY with adsense REAL FAST. i built a 'content rich' site with lots of hand typed appealing pages ad it gets a whopping 14 visitors a day and makes .9 a day. the site is over 6 months old so its not like the content ranks higher with age. bfffffffffft

    To make xxx a day as i do, i use other methods and ill leave it at that. Building tons of pages of content few will ever read may create a sense of accomplishment, but wont accomplish much for most peolple in terms of adsense revenue.

    I checked this out too- if you take note of his traffic stats, they jump up way too fast. Traffic is the key to his $$ equation and it is soo odd (not reallY) that little tidbit was left out.
    It appears he has a email database and simply rolled out a campaign with links to the site over a brief period and voila..traffic and income.
    The nasty thing is that it gives one the sense that they can get incredible traffic vitually overnight..traffic that will convert into $$$..
    such bs. If you read this forum, you get the knowledge from the kind people who work for real and share real data, so you know this is total crap...

    unless you want to do a jv with one of the gurus that have a huge email database, that is..........:mad:

    Yep, many factors affect the results, such the niches you chosen. You cannot just build and build and then earn much money.

    Its about making many sites, not one... Anyways this video is just pr/marketing crap. Nothing know-how about it, just thing we all know well -- work hard, make sites, get content, drive traffic, place ads and check stats)

    Dont just pass if iff as crap. It may be possible. I have built sites from scratch that make xx dollars a day within a week. I wont give details but it is possible. However, i doubt reeces ebook would tell you how though.

    I subscribed to Reese's blog/newsletter (free of course) vto see what he had to offer and he passes along some ideas that are worth looking into, but his $500k idea is simple (in theory):
    Make a ton of sites, put in a ton of hours with regular content, and seo and links, and and and and, it will be easy money. (hah!) He forgets to let everyone know it is HARD, LONG hours to get this method to produce. Hence, no pot o' gold at the end of the get-rich-quick rainbow.

    Even then, no one would ramp up over the course of a few days like he did, without an email campaign to a long and strong subscriber list..and of course he never tells you that little gem. Lost alot of cred with me...

    Dp has more answers between the pages, and the people are for real. (oh yeah..its free too.):cool:

    Seems that claims that plentyoffish do 10k a day are just used to promote that site.

    You can read more on Shoemoney blog


    I would be surprised if he made much less than thousands a day with an Alexa rank of 801 at this moment and dating as the subject which should give good cost per click.

    Shoemoney is just speculating, all I see on his blog is a rant on shady tactics by plentyoffish and that the site's owner supposedly made $30 a day a while ago. Well maybe the shady tactics (if any) worked :)

    I wonder myself If John Reese really makes all the money he claims he does. I guess we will never really know.
