$3.5 Million AdSense check

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by mrvyper, Apr 3, 2008.

    I posted in another thread about a guy who claims on a youtube video to have made $3.5 million last year with Adsense. Mostly people thought it was fake, but I'm thinking it's real. He holds up his adsense tax documents and it shows he makes millions from Google:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-5Rl2lfYwM

    Since this section is about Adsense I thought I'd get a more informed response here. What do you guys think? Is this real? Do you know anyone who makes 7 figures with AdSense? Does anyone on DP make this much?

    I think it's fake. His youtube videos are referring to his new idea to help people make millions while his site is 5 Years, 11 Months old and get little to no traffic.

    "I stumbled upon this document", his 1099? so he didn't know he made 3.5?
    I knew exactly what I earned which was easy considering it was only enough to pay my expenses.

    if really learned how to make $3.5 million dollar from adsense? why would he tell other people how to make that much?

    I am not saying that there are people who might not make this much. They could be but they don't want to share. ;)

    I don't know why but if I didn't know better i'd say that the person who post this video is the person who made the video.
    The website personally looks very "crappy" it has a very bad layout and the owner doesn't even seem to want to improve that, sure it has content but it still not good enough for a 3.5 million check. Not even John Chow has a check that big.

    You can read a lot from body language. Compare him to Joel Comm. Joel presents himself very confidently. This guy on the toher hand just seems like he's not telling the truth and that he's hiding something.

    Maybe his video is link bait, maybe not.

    Most of his blog posts are about adwords, so he must be heavy into PPC.

    Unless he reveals which sites earn him that Adsense money, we will never know for sure.

    This stuff always makes me want to to work harder, regardless if its true or not. I see what you are saying about his body language, it seems like he is fibbing.

    It's possible, but I think that's fake. Anyone can print of tax document, and fill in the info. Plus he's worried about competitors with 3.5 million dollars? LOL
