It was very useful for me when I was a newbie... but then I realized that a lot of the stuff in the book can be read here in DP.
I have benefited a lot from this guy. I can tell you he ain't a scammer, because a reputed friend of mine who makes $6000/month, most of it from adsense know JC personally, has learnt a lot from him and is regularly in touch with him.
Joel responded again because he wrote that book like what...4 years ago? At that time the stuff wasn't Earth shattering, but few people were doing it. Most of that stuff is standard practice now, so of course it would be available on DP and anywhere. Back then people were just starting to place Adsense within content. Most sites still had Adsense banners in the old school placement. The funny thing is that much of the stuff people were bashing him for back then is so common now people don't even flinch.
^^ Joel Comm needs to release a more advanced book for adsense. (But i don't think that he is stating all his secrets in his book)
It's already 4th edition released. Buy it, it's just $10. Even if you learn 1 new trick - already good.
For a newbie this ebooks,tutorials,step by step instrcustion are always good and worth to buy,as they dont knw excatly the sources where to collect dis info ,bit of info colected frm here and dere can only mke dem confused,so i realy reommend dis kind of adsens eor any oder online money making ebooks ofcrse fyou shld read the entire website and use logic to undrstand whtehr its genuine or not.I hve also purhcas eone gven in my signature and it is 100% genuine it provided me wid huge resouces and wid help of dis i hve sucefuly mde 2-3 website sand also help in promotion.
Joel Comm's book has some excellent info in it. He also has a number of links to upsells which he weaves into the content in a professional way. You can not only learn from the tips he gives, but you can learn from example by the way he handles his upsells. I don't think the guy is BS at all, but the real secret is traffic, and he doesn't address that except near the end, he pushes an affiliate link for another upsell.
Exactly. You can provide a lot of information in a book, and I do. But the real purpose of a book is to act as the top of your marketing funnel. It should drive the reader into deeper relationship with you by including a call to action. Joel
hello mate! great to see you posting on here! to be honest i've learnt most of my tricks from your ebooks and videos (i prefer your DVD's). you must be making a lot of dosh cos when I started implementing your tips, my earnings shot through the roof (compare to before), a lot of them were simple but sometimes simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Though Joel is chums with that no good hack and scammer Garry Conn, I will say his book gave a few pointers that helped my adsense earnings as well. I always believe that if you can learn at least one new thing from something it is worth the money. I just hoped he learned from his sneaky little scandalous $29.95 a month upsell that was super shady and caused a big uproar through MMO crowd. Anyway I digress.
I'm not sure why you are calling Garry names. He is certainly not a hacker, and he doesn't sell any product, so I'm not sure how he has "Scammed" you. As for the upsell. It was neither sneaky nor scandalous. It was right there on the sales page AND the order page. Twice. People don't read. Furthermore, no one was charged anything until they had physically received product and had thirty days to evaluate. On top of that, if someone was billed after the fact, they always go a refund. Amazing how things can be blown way out of proportion. Joel
i hasve joel's book on adsense.I have learnt many things from it.Most important is that i got to know about dp from his book!!!
Even I was wondering why he called Garry a scammer. I know Garry is a selfish guy, would do anything for a buck and traffic and attention, but he has never scammed anyone. Not sure why you are saying that.
I understand you want to defend your BFF, thats fine. But my mind is made up on that snake oil salesman. And I don't blame you for downplaying the outrage following your little debacle. At least you were willing to give people their refunds. The ones who noticed they were getting charged monthly anyway.
Actually. The AdSense Code is based on content from over a year ago. AdSense Secrets 4.0 is updated and expanded. Joel
