    Perhaps if his quality score is really, really good ... just maybe he could be getting $0.08.

    Am I the only one who finds it hard to believe that a man making over a million a year from Adwords would spend his time trying to sell ebooks?

    ...I agree entirely. If faced with the question: 'shall I apply my knowledge and drive my earnings up to $2,000,000 a year or shall I write a ebook about it?' ... I know how I'd answer it.

    I found this post through Google so it's likely an older thread. I don't use this forum (no offense, I just don't need it), and this is the second, and last post I will make defending Steven Holdaway and Google Money Pro. I post out of gratitude to Steven. The replies in this thread have largely been worthless and wrong.

    He has high CTR and great quality score. He actually promotes unpopular sites instead of popular ones. On Clickbank, for example, sites with gravity lower than 30. Unpopular sites are generally better with his approach because of less Adwords competition.

    As of the printing of the original ebook, he has at least hundreds of thousands of keywords. He has to open different AdWords accounts because they only allow 55,000 keywords per account. One site he promotes took two Google accounts.

    Again, quality score. Likely the keyword density on the site you are promoting is poor relative to that keyword, the keywords in your ads don't match the landing page, or a number of other things. As to your particular example, I can't say exactly what the problem is without looking at it. There's no secret keywords, just lots of research and testing in separate ad groups.

    What would you rather have? Another vague ebook with no detail? Anyone that considers themselves an ordinary person should not be trying to make a fortune with AdWords.

    Have you never read books written by multi-millionairres? Many don't make their millions on book deals. Maybe it's vanity. Or maybe it's a genuine desire to help others who take the time to learn properly. There is more to life than money.

    As for the video comment, Steven will have a new release of Google Money Pro coming out this month with videos of actual campaigns. If you already have a copy, the upgrade is free.

    I don't care if you order Google Money Pro. Neither does Steven. I only post in his defense out of respect for him, in case someone else Google's the term, comes here, and sees your nonsense.

    This is not accurate, but it shows you that he is indeed lying.

    If the book makes it to print i.e a publisher will verify him, I'll be the first to buy it. PDF, no way.

    Are we talking about adwords, or adsense here? I get an average of 15 cents a click atm.

    It's amusing that mrlynam falsely accuses me of promoting Steven Holdaway's book whilst brazenly including a link to his own product in his post!
    If I were organized enough I probably would promote it, but i would do it with Pay per Click, not in such an inefficient, roundabout manner as a forum.
    Since I introduced the topic I bought Google Money Pro and I like it.
    Steven doesn't reveal which product needed 100,000 keywords to promote and that's understandable because if he did, many marketers like ourselves would find his ads, copy them and it would be goodbye income stream and 8 cent clicks for him.
    I agree with azlimitup. Steven wants to teach. If he makes a bit of cash out of it, he's well entitled.
    But, azlimitup, how could a site with 38 million visitors that Steven sent them in 1 month be regarded as unpopular? Wouldn't the site be popular already for Steven's ads to trigger so many impressions.
    I'm wondering which site it could be.
    Ebay perhaps?

    I'm going to be honest with you, I don't think you're going to get very far trying to mimic vague techniques used in an ebook.

    I think you'll get much more out of reading this forum. The reason I say this is because DP will give you the opportunity to find more accurate knowledge.

    On DP there are many posts about specific topics that you can weigh against each other to figure out what is actually worth acting on. On the other hand, an ebook is just going to give you one marketers view of how it works, and in my opinion, a view that is probably lacking since you've already bought the book and his profit motive has been fulfilled.

    There are exceptions, but this ebook doesn't look like one.

    He's just another Donny boy yelling about how he started from his "one bedroom apartment". Ask yourself why this person that is making millions from AdSense is wasting his time writing ebooks and creating videos teaching you how to do the same.

    I think he's probably lying, but if more people keep buying his crap ebook that he promotes through adwords, maybe one day he will make a million a year from it.

    I've seen/skimmed the book. Most of it appears to be aimed at beginners and it's fairly exhaustive (account setup, ad writing basics, how to find keywords, QS, costs, etc, etc).

    The information seems to be more-or-less correct (from my not-so-experienced perspective), but there's nothing "secret" or "special" there. If you've been doing AdWords for a while, you probably wouldn't gain much from reading it.

    That's my opinion anyway ;)

    One more thing, he didn't print screen total click with $XXXX amount with zero cost. He just show you how he set $XXXX amount per click and $XXXXXX Daily budget without actual click and total cost.

    If he's making $1,000,000 a year, I would hope he could create a better website.

    Ofcourse, almost all of those sales pitch pages only show you how much they made, which is meaningless w/out also seeing how much they spent.

    I am a true beleiver that there is no "easy money" in the world. The money you earn is a result of smart and and hard work, nothing really comes easy. I would never buy an e-book like that because I already know what its going to say and so should most of you.... its your curious side that makes you buy these e-books because they make you beleive they know something you don't.

    I have some news for you.... THEY DONT, its just hard work.
