    I think you will find that with the ebook you get a great deal of "additional" products thrown in like extra ebooks and automated tool etc. That said I think the AdSense Code book that he is selling on Amazon is just as good and it is only fraction of the price at like $20 and it is an actual book that is shipped to you.

    Well that seems to be reasonable enough. I'm wary of additional products as I've received them in the past and they haven't really been of much value. That's not to say that's the case here, mind.

    Joel's business practices are as ethical as it gets. If the e-book wasn't useful to you I can tell you this, he has never denied a refund request for that product and it has helped thousands of people who will credit that book with their current success.

    Joel is makes an effort to do business in an honest and ethical manner everyday, more than I can say for the majority and what else can you ask of anyone.

    Much depends upon the enforcement against those affiliates and I don't know what Joel's policies are and accordingly make no connection.

    I was considering suing a publicly held legal services site (sells legal insurance) for the incredible excess of spam/scams I would receive and the lack of accountability this company would claim. The name of this game is the cry of sympathy -- they feel for you and would do anything they could but they just have no control over the beast. This is a crock. If you make compliance more important to ensure legitimacy, the spamming goes down -- but so do the ultimate reach numbers. It's all a matter of priorities.

    I met him in person. He was a real funny guy. Form his personality and who he was hanging out with I do not think he would lye on this. He only has like 5 sites I think. But all of those sites are different as far as 1 is a forum and 1 is a blog ect. I read his book and it helped alot.

    The book is not worth for one with a little bit of experience is adsense. For a noob it'll be great. But still not worth for the price. :)

    I own Joel's eBook.

    It has proven to be quite useful to me and maybe others too!

    Have you read the book - or are you just saying that. I know I read the book after working with AdSense for two years and I still got some nice little tips out of it that I hadn't thought of before, those little tips have made me thousands - justifies the book in my mind.

    This book probably worth more if you HAVE worked with AdSense before that way your not a pure beginner and the book will be of much greater value because you already have sites you can apply it to.

    That said the ebook itself is expensive - I found that the actual book, AdSense Code, was quite good and at a fraction of the price $16 at amazon, and I mean if people can't afford $16 + postage to get an experts opinion on making money with AdSense then I'm quietly confident that your earnings will always be less than what they could be, purely because you are too afraid to make a "very small" investment that has the possibility of making no returns - but in all likelihood may teach that one or two tips that make you thousands.

    But that is just my two cents.

    Pretty bold statement, considering he denied my refund. What he'll do is wait forever to answer your refund request. Then, if you are still patient, he'll claim to look at your site and see if he can make it better rather than giving a refund. After sending a generic reply, telling you to make the following changes to your site, he'll simply ignore your refund request. (At least in my case he did)

    After all this work, and still no refund, you simply give up. Not a huge cost, however, never actually received a refund from Joel.

    If the guy is selling an book, then he´s a fraud. Simply as that.

    If he earns thousands of dollars a day, why bother writing and selling an e-book?

    Is he just want to share his knowledge then why charge for it?

    It jus´t don´t make sense.

    If I was earning thousands of bushes a day, I would bother trying to decide witch BMW model I would drive today not writing e-books...

    You clearly don't know what you are talking about. He makes a thousands a month with AdSense and turns around and make a couple thousand more a month by putting an ebook together to share what he has learnt from making his thousands a month. Seriously if you had read even half of this thread you would have learnt who Joel Comm actually is rather spammed your "he's a fraud garbage" which is base on nothing but your guess.
