By my count

    There are now 100 ebooks for sale, or given away free, on adsense and how to make tons of money with adsense.
    To date, not one of them that I have read have given me any new material.
    Some seem to be just a complete rewrite of what is on google's site about adsense!
    And strangely, some ebooks seem to be a carbon copy of what is on this forum!
    Did the postings create the ebook?
    Or did the ebook create the postings?

    So don't spend any of your hard earned (or stolen, whatever) money on buying any ebook on adsense, regardless of the 5 mile scroll full of testimonials from people no one has ever heard about, regardless of the spammy hype and huge pictures of checks, regardless of the so-called gurus who are selling it.

    You can and you will learn all there is to know about google adsense, google adwords, how to make money, how to place them on your site, etc right here on the DP forum!!

    But all the above is null and void if and when I write an ebook about adsense!

    Thanks for the advise. I won't buy such books anyway, because they seem quite pointless and useless to me. Best things are found on such forums like this one.

    yup. i would never buy those books.
    my own research worth a lot more that reading about "blending those ads"..
    dont buy ebooks, read DP! :)

    BTW the "5 mile scroll full of testimonials" (lol) to me is very interesting.

    and as you state:
    that's so fucking funny, a 79 year old grandma making 8K a month with adsense etc, i don't say it's impossible but it's not likely to happen :)

    It could happen, may be she has some insight of what old lady interest in.
    That's what i am trying to study, target my stie to a specify group of people. The market might be small, but the competition is smaller too;)
    IMO it is better than compete with thousand of gadget site..

    Actually some of these ebooks should say "How to make $8,000 per month selling the same ebook written 12 different ways"

    I guess they were hoping to catch new-comers before they get to do some serious research, knock them off for some cash, before these guys even know what hit them.

    Information is everywhere and paying for it is one way to get it. The word to use is plagiarism. This is so common in our days that's not even worth talking about it, even more evident in blogging. I don't think we can stop it, there is no way to check every single source of information to verify that the material produced is in fact original work
