Hmm… the ads are all private ads from bloggers who read the blog. There is no context links from programs such as Amazon Context Link, or Kontera Context links… the text links that you see on the page, once again… link to sites from the folks that read my blog, links that promote products in PepperJam or links that promote my other blogs.

If you feel that my blog isn’t a good resource of information because of that, you know how to unsubscribe and you know where the back button is.

As you said, it has been two months since your last visit. In that two months time I have made around $500 bucks. So, unless you’re going to pay me $500 dollars every time you visit once every two months, then the ads and everything you see here will stay.

This is my business, this is how I make money… over 85% of my total traffic come direct from search engines. Only 15% of my traffic are from regular readers.

I would be STUPID not to monetize this site. However, I do it with class and use the authority, traffic, etc… built from this blog to help others while I make money

I could simply default and do what other MMO bloggers do by splashing affiliate banners and links all over the place and contributing to the funk of bogus eBook and bull crap products and EASILY make over $2000 per month… but I don’t.

So dude… don’t bitch at me about my blog not being a good resource. You make it what you want it to be, and the exit door is just a click of a button away.

Sorry man… I take a ton of pride in my blog, the design and the quality within. My PageRank isn’t based off my all “NO-FOLLOW” ads. My blog is a PR4 accordingly and if it becomes a PR5 or a PR6 then cool. I’ll take a PR4 any day.

two months no visit to this place and I come back and see loads of ads and hard to read content due to in content links, text ads, more ads and some ads. maybe that is why google did not increase your PR to 5 or 6 garry

used to be such a great site and resource.

best wishes,

Hey GoldCoaster,

Yeah man… the book is legit. You’ll love it.

For $9.95 you can’t go wrong. The book is very well written. Included in the pages are very detailed pictures, visual examples and detailed scenarios and walk thrus. This eBook really is what I would consider the Google AdSense Play Book.

Sorry, Garry. I’m Japanese Ice Cream – must have kept my login from another blog.
Not trying to cause a fight, I was just asking for a little exerpt, fact or sample pages rather than ‘this is the best, this is all you need’ … – all ebooks for sale have affiliate people saying that. Every review on this ebook is pretty much what you are saying but have no actual details or facts, this just , for me, makes it get lumped with all other worthless ebooks.

Hey Garry. I too respect joel and have promoted his products in the past. But thats not the way his order page looked at the outset. I dont know why he would state the “odds” of being billed for number 2 is likely to be small. Its either you’re going to be billed or not be billed, where are the odds in that?
Things get blown out of proportion where the communication is unclear. If you’re going to sell a monthly subscription then state thats what you’re going to sell, if you’re selling a book state thats what you’re going to be selling. vice versa. Im sure cancellations will be small. And I have no doubt that that both products are worth as stated. But geezman be clear about what the objectives are. Dont confuse people into doing things just ask for it and you’ll get it, why the hoop juming over a frikken 9 buck e-book

Hi Garry,

just a general suggestion, I give it because I’m struggling if I should buy this ebook or not. What makes me struggle isn’t the price (fortunely I have 10 bucks set appart to invest in my online business) but what scares me is the huge number of pages. IMO it’s to much !
Is there really need of all these pages ? I’m afraid to buy the ebook and then never finish to read it: i hate to read on the screen (my eyes get tired very fast) and I’m not going to print 235 pages, not mentioning how much time it takes to read such number of pages. Ebooks should be reduced to the essentials.

Back to the advise I wanted to share: it isn’t convincing enough to say something like “BEST eBook with the latest tips and tricks on how to make money with Google AdSense” or “when I do promote products on my blog, you can count on them being the real deal” because on this way I have to trust YOU.

BUT if you provide a summary of the contents, or an example of tecnique explained in the ebook and that you have applied and brought you great results, this will move the focus of the customer from trusting you to objective things like results or effective content of the ebook. Even Japanese Ice cream [in the past you were not accepting comments from people not using his name, but these is another story ] asked you for what is in the book and we still didn’t know in detail what it contains (and in 235 pages i guess there is a lot of stuff…)

ciao

Joel, I have a lot of respect for your knowledge, and I appreciate a lot of what you have done. However…

you said “…you can order the book on its own. Just change the quantity 1 to a zero on the page. ”

Why is it done this way?

Why not just make it read…

“One month free, then $29.95 a month after the first month”

It is obvious that the lack of clarity is done on purpose. I am not taking anything away from the quality of any of the products, just the method in which you choose to setup the order page.

I agree with Josh…

“I would have done things a little differently…. and it looks like things have been blown way out of proportion”
