    Web certainly looks amateurish. So judging quality of info by web I could be suspicious.

    scam, dont buy it, you can find all the needed info on this forum, and the rest comes from experience when you are a few months further in the adsense game.

    They dont offer anything that you cant find with a little time and effort. Everything you ever need to know can be found somewhere within DP or you can start a new thread and usually get several very good answers that are better than any Get rich quick guide can offer.

    they will offer repeated thing you see in dp, like makes use of proper keywords, place ads here, keep original content, etc etc :)

    infact you can also make a cd or a book for 1000$ by learning a lot from most of the content that dp provides. :D

    The secret to getting rich is selling information on how to get rich. The secret to being poor is buying all the information on how to get rich.

    the person who wrote the copy, patric chan, is a friend of mine. he makes his living online, i've seen proof of it. (well, if you count logging into paypal and 2CO account in front of my eyes as proof).

    he specialises in adsense, although he sells info product like this one too.

    it's not a scam, it really works, but only because people are willing to pay for info like this. the average person will not know to search and read up the whole of DP to gather all of this info (usually only a webmaster would). to put it bluntly, they make money out of the common person's indifference.

    my friend's motto is "You Chan Do It". irony. :)

    Yeah, I wouldn't label it a scam. Some people do a good job at "compiling" useful information. You have to admit, muddling through DP can be daunting for a newbie just trying to break into the $5 a day adsense mark. But, we all know that once a newbie gets into DP, there is no turning back. Still...if a person doesn't have to time or to even know what to look for, then a well done cd/e-book, dvd package is a good idea. However, $400 is steep in my book. I would say maybe 14.95. The $400 price is how this guy makes his money...people think "Wow, $400 bucks? It must be worth it!" I bet less people would take it seriously if it were 14.95. Ok...I'm rambling. Ill stop now.

    You only need 3 resources for adsense:

    1. "https://www.google.com/support/adsense/"
    2. A forum like this to talk about it
    3. Learn about how to Get Traffic <-- this is the key

    If you want to spend some money on books about adsense, better use that money for books about traffic strategics.
