Book Reviews of The AdSense Code: What Google Never Told You About Making Money with AdSense

Book Review: I got nothing from this book
Summary: 2 Stars

I don't like to write negative reviews, so I try hard to live by the "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it" rule, but I also feel obligated to save you some money: I got nothing from this book and I think there are many better places to spend your money. This book has that huckster "you can get rich quickly" attitude and I despise that approach. Making money with Adsense is tough work--really tough work. It takes lots of time and you are not going to get rich quickly--or anything remotely resembling quickly (here's a free tip: have a lot of good content and really care that your readers are getting something from your site and you will make some money--eventually).

This book is chock full of self promotion (for Joel Comm) and as nice a guy as he genuinely seems like, this information is all fluff and the Google site will teach you all of it for free. If you want a MUCH better look at both Adsense and Adwords, as well as how Google really works, check out the updated Google Advertising Tools: Cashing in with AdSense and AdWords (Animal Guide) by Harold Davis. Davis has the most intimate and useful knowledge I've yet found (which doesn't mean there aren't other good books out there--I'm certain there must be) and I underlined and highlighted so much in the book in the first few days I could barely see the text anymore.

I think that Joel Comm probably knows what he's writing about, but he seems so wrapped up in making it seem simple and easy that after a while you start to doubt his knowledge--do you know what I mean? Making it sound too simple makes it sound like there's a lot that he's leaving out. If you want a light read that you can skim and then donate to a book sale, sure, try the book. But my real suggestion is to read Davis' book, or some other author's more in-depth book, then pester every webmaster you know until you find someone that will take you under his wing and teach you some of the techniques for making Adsense work.

I'm not sure if Adsense is still pulling in the bucks for webmaster that it once did, but I do make a small amount of money each month and it pays my hosting bills with something left over. But the only "code" there is in Adsense is the same code there is in any business: hard work, lots of learning time, good ideas, a genuine concern for your customers (read Growing a Business sometime if you want to get a good lesson in customer care) and the patience to experiment, keep good notes and create worthwhile content.

It's not that you won't learn something from this book--if you're very new to Adwords/Adsense and SEO, you just might. But there are better books with much more true information and lots less chest pounding.
