omg just stop with half life stuff

lmao

its starting to get out of hand already. and normally i dont even say things like that but dam.:glare:

Gee I wonder what inspired that ebook? </lame>

Anything with a signup form I won't download, if it has a link to it, sure as hell I will download it. But not building up there list. Not work it

These ebook marketers have now made it imperitive that you verify your email address before you can get the information. It used to be a couple of months ago you could just put in some random address like uhuhiouhuih@yahoo.com to proceed but now you MUST enter a verifiable address.

The ebook being piched here is adsense-secrets.com whihc is OK is you know nothing about adsense or the interent but for most people it simply restates what you already know about adsense. Ad blending, Url blocking, ect. Nothing revolutionary or even noteworthly. Long on promises, short on delivery. I bought it a couple months ago and refunded it the same day. Bfft.

Maybe we can get it online from somewhere soon.
crosses fingers

You can do all the blending you want.

As more and more advertisers realize they can pay 5 cents per click on the content network while paying more for search and get away with it your adsense earnings will still go down. You would literally have to keep building adsense sites constantly to keep up.

One of my key sites (in terms of traffic) gets over 250 clicks per day and makes less than $15 on adsense.. It won't be long before even the people who've "found the right niches" find themselves getting smart priced.

For the record I will always be an adsense publisher because it's easy money. But I'm done busting my back trying to get more adsense clicks. I make money other ways and use that money to send traffic to "sticky" sites and pay for services I need to improve them.

If these suckers (sorry Joel) want my e-mail - Mailinator.com is the way to go. :-)

Edit: The e-books are usually not even worth the Mailinator, however.

:lol: ROTFLMFAO :lol:

Skimming through the ebook...Comm is doing everything except physically attack the guy. If you read tdoa (i did) I think you'll find this really funny.

My analysis on the CPC vs CPA issue:

If you get visitors with money that are looking for something they can buy then affiliate marketing is probably best for your site. If your site's a proxy or #1 for "free ----" then it's probably not.

Examples:
You're #1 for "wholesale jewelry": You'll probably make a lot more money with CPA or affiliate marketing than with CPC.
You're #1 for "free disiniy games": You'll probably make more with CPC.
If you're somewhere in between, put down whatever makes the most sense and test the others.

CPA > CPC on any field there is... look at it like this, if clicks arent quality, you gon get kicked off your cpc network, if they're quality, then you're better off with CPA

lmao, all this affiliate marketing crap is really funny sometimes :P
I feel sorry for the people who read all these long ebooks and 10 page sales letters

"On any field there is"? Come on, are 8 year old kids without any money that are searching for "free disiniy games" going to fill out CPA offers?

When you say non-quality clicks are you talking about clickfraud? I've never read about people getting kicked off of cpc networks because their visitors wouldn't buy the advertisers stuff... :confused1:

I woudn't rule it out though.

The nice thing about CPC is that it is vey versatile. You can put the code on any page with traffic and start earning money. CPA programs and other affiliate programs need to be very targeted to work.
