Here are good conversations about these tips.

@Darren,

After looking at others comments, I am wondering that if we have to get very huge number of page views for our site to earn decent money it may also mean that the ratio of earnings with no. of views may not be really good with Adsense.

If we cannot earn decent money with thousands of visitors a day, then what is the point in having such traffic? May be all that traffic is not because of new visitors but because of returning visitors..

I’ve followed a link back here Darren. Apologies – I must have missed the “affiliate link” bit. It’s still advertorial though. That’s alright – I do the same. But I won’t endorse something if it’s a stinker. BTW Brad Callen gives heaps of free info on Adsense campaigns. I’ve given up on making significant money off it. I get good traffic but the Adsense results are very patchy. And it’s ridiculous when they serve you ads that make a cent.
BTW Joel Conn was on to something with his video-sharing thingo. It has the cheesiest name – “Traffic Geyser” but I’ve just been using a trial version for a week (costs you your credit card details and $1) and it is AWESOME. To borrow a phrase from a well-known Australian TV marketer of Goo Remover – “I’m Excited”. Using that program DOES get you to the top of Google. And pretty quick too – within the hour in most cases. I’ve seen one video I made, “Getting Your Videos on Top of Google”, go to #1 on Google up against 16.3 Million other listings. Its been there 2 days. Now some of you will say “so what?” but the thing is I’ve got 302 videos on YouTube and a few of them have got a million views or so but most languish with only several hundred. So any help is vital. And heres the other thing (this is the key to it all) – you can make a simple video without even having a video camera – you can use digital images and audio and put it in a video format – so any text, any business, any bunch of images can be promoted by having them dominate the Search Engines (Google mainly). Another video I made – “Video Sydney Harbour Cruises” occupies the top five spots on Google – but with only 564k listings. More on my site. Thanks mate.

Malcolm – I’m not sure how you can say I’m not being straight here. Directly after the link I say (affiliate link). I think that that’s very transparent.

You’re not being very straight here are you? This is an affiliate link – in other words you get paid every time someone clicks through to this jerks site and buys his ebook or program. This guy or his affiliates have been spamming me non-stop ever since I foolishly asked for some so-called free information on Adsense. And reading what he has to say my advice to anyone looking to learn about Adsense is to save your money and just learn what you can for free in forums. BTW Joel Comm’s latest email today was all breathless about how you could get massive amounts of traffic from YouTube and other video-sharing sites just by buying one of his programs that would submit your killer video to all the video-sharing sites out there. WOW. It was dated Novemeber last year. That’s a lifetime in this game. But I had a look at his crappy video. Guess what? It’s had about 5,000 views in 11 months. Pathetic. If you want traffic from videos and you want Google to list you in its Search – make a decent video – and put it on your blog. To get traffic, cheat. Put a booby shot as a thumbnail – at exactly halfway use a still. YouTube (the only one worth bothering with as it gets HUGE traffic) uses that still as the thumbnail. Put a booby shot or at least a sexy shot and you’ll get traffic. It also helps to use all the sexy keywords you can find – or copy the keywords from other successful videos. So yeah…I’m fed up with all these Adsense scammers.

Well this is interesting article but i don`t believe it.
I think that no one will tell you for that kind of secret!
Or that kind of knowledge no one cannot understand just like that!

Hi to all. I own this book already and I’d like to say all the best about that. The fact is there’s no big secrets inside, but the small ones tripled my AdSense income in just few weeks.

That’s practical book with things that anyone webmaster should read and know at all. Almost anything covered inside is possible to find at Google Search Engine, but it would consume a lot of my time. This book is much more comfortable way to learn instead “Googling” for hours :)

Sorry about my bad English, but it’s not my native language. I am from Croatia.

Bye

Thanks. I think I’ll hold up on reading it for now, though, since I don’t get but 500 or so hits per day.

[...] The product I’ve seen the most success with is Joel Comm’s What Google Never Told You About Making Money with Adsense (affiliate link) which I reviewed here. I think I had some good results with this product because I’d personally read and used it and gave an honest appraisal with it for my readers. Personal recommendations are important with all affiliate sales – but especially with Clickbank as some of their products have a pretty average reputation. [...]

[...] The best results I’ve had from affiliate programs are where I give an open and honest appraisal of the product – including both it’s strengths and weaknesses. The most successful affiliate program I’m involved with here at ProBlogger is Joel Comm’s e-book which I reviewed here. If you read the review you’ll see that I not only tell readers who I believe the book is for but I also mention those it is NOT for. In a sense I critique it. On a surface level one might think that this wasn’t a wise move and that I should have given a glowing review – however the sales that I’ve had through the program have proven otherwise. People want to know what they are buying first and even if they know a product has limitations they will buy it if it meets their particular need. [...]

I get Darren’s Newsletter and it is great ! Keep it up Darren. But I think you need to send one out more often.

Anyway, about the book. Yes lots of info is available on the net …its information overload when AOL starts advertising on TV about watching their videos online :) ….So I agree with John W. & Rohan that lots of info is still available on the net for free including right here on Darren’s Blog. And according to Sandeep, he hits the nail on the head when he points out what Darren has already mentioned….if your blog/website does not have a good basic level of traffic you might want to work on that before seeing revenues rise via Adsense.

Exhaust all your avenues then make the move to learning more of the tricks and tips from the e-Book ! Just my 2 cents or should I say 2 paise ! :)

Take these lines seriously by “Darren” in account before purchasing this e-book.

”
The only qualification I’ll make to this statement is that to be successful with Adsense you will need at least a good basic traffic level for your blog. ”

Darren never lies. Thats assure.

I am not dogging this book, but there are so many FREE resources out there that offer great SEO advice. Problogger, Searchengineguide.com, and even Google themselves offer help!

I did feel the “conceptualization” was pretty professional, other than that (like I’ve mentioned it on his forum too) he quotes nothing more than google TOS, “blending of ads” ie tweaking them and of course his experiences with certain ads like the “banner ad” which he says does not work well, and people tend to ignore them at the drop of a hat.

I’d rather prefer to adsense videos by Michael Cheney – he tells you how you can increase that CTR rate, rather than just bring in the revenue via zillions of visitors to your website.

Joel Comm’s Ebook does not quote anything out of the ordinary, most of that information as mentioned by many is commonplace, can be found in google help sections, on ebay and on most forums too, although some “tit bits” is something “you learn everyday”.

Overall, his ebook, left me “unsatisfied” and lacked that punch which I so every much wanted to see and read.

He does not mention that he owns 15+ (my estimation is more) websites, and I feel the “brand name sells” factor is the primary reason he manages to sustain those earnings month after month.

Hes far from being an adsense “guru” just smart enough to latch onto something like google adsense since early 1990s, and that the key reason hes so well known on the net with regards to adsense.

[...] Even Cursory Associations Can Kill In the wake of this fiasco, some prominent bloggers have been brought into the picture as a result of their relationships with Joel Comm, prior or current. For example, the whole problem started with Yaro’s promotion of Joel Comm’s free AdSense e-Book – where there were some connotations of his endorsement of Joel’s Instant AdSense Templates as well. Later, a reader pointed out Darren Rowse’s review of Joel Comm’s popular AdSense e-Book, which Duncan Riley did not “flame” as much as the AdSense Templates – highlighting perhaps some measure of hypocrisy. All this just goes to show that any links you might have with anybody can hurt you, especially on the web where associations can be found with a single Google search. This perhaps implies a need to conduct in-depth and continuous research before beginning any sort of “endorsement” relationship (which is actually rather ridiculous to expect anyone to do, of course).

A good source of information is the AdSense category on problogger.net, and more specifically Darren Rowse’s review on What Google Never Told You About Making Money with Adsense. [...]
