Ha! Just work, no secret :-)

If you are worried about having to maintain sites that start dropping, outsource some articles or bookmarking?

Another X-factor beneficiaries.... Just like me! I did not buy John's ebook but I followed hi thread and it was almost like buying the real stuff

[Radix]

Yes the system works and will make you money. It isn't rocket science and honestly nothing John reveals in his books hasn't been posted a dozen times or more on WF by John or others. The guide John sells is the BEST guide I have found on the topic. I'm sure someone will make a better one...I believe John has something up his sleeve to that effect.

This system is work. If you want quick money with little effort, head over to BHW and see how far you get with your whiny repetitive posts demanding to be spoon fed.

You get out of it what you put into it. Slack off and it's a slow boat to China. Bust your a$$ and you'll be rewarded quickly and often.

Yes this guide is one of the best WSO's I have seen to date, it works if you work it. John has a forum for buyers of the guide they can join to support each other. And yes he is currently working on a new updated version of the guide book.

Whiny repetitive posts?

Hmm...forgive me but I just don't see it. I have little clue as to the reactions of some posters to the OP in this thread. I mean has he stepped on some kind of sacred toe around here?

Sure, he may not understand some things.
Maybe he is a bit unwilling to see things as clearly as you and I might be.
Perhaps he doesn't even speak English real well.
It's possible that he is leaning toward being spoon fed a tad.

Don't know but...even IF all that is true (which I am not saying it is)...so what!?

It's no skin off my back or anybody else's for that matter. If you or others don't like what he is saying or implying just ignore it or at the very least perhaps show a bit more civility and restraint (something John himself corrected me on recently).

I mean I don't personally feel a need to blast the OP with some barb's aimed straight at him. Why do some of you feel the need to do that? I just don't get it.

To the OP...you stick to your guns and say whatever you feel a need to say. If you get great input...great. If not then stick around, read, and post another thread regarding what you want to say if you feel a need to so so. Or go to another less intense forum perhaps. Just a thought.

This place can get like an ocean infested with sharks who smell blood sometimes or so it seems. Not referring to everyone but sometimes it does seem to lean in that direction.

No Carlos, it is an issue. There is an entire page of what had been a very useful thread that is now filled with useless back and forth nonsense.

People ask a lot of questions around here as they should. However, if someone takes the time to answer you and you don't understand it, maybe you need to reword your question. Not ask the same thing over and over again until you get the answer you want.

I don't get the impression English is an issue with the person in question.

I think the mass majority of us are very patient and helpful on WF, but come on. It's pretty obvious this has turned into a game of semantics in order for someone to run their post count up or whatever it is he's doing.

And the OP is fine...he's not the person I'm speaking of.

[carlos123]

Radix...I acknowledge that there is a problem in this thread. No question. And sorry about my mixup regarding the OP. I've read through most of this thread piecemeal as I get emails telling me a new post has been made and I must have mixed up who said what.

All I am saying is that perhaps some of us are being a bit uneccessarily harsh in our responses. That doesn't help anyone and makes this place seem more like a forum full of sharks waiting to pounce than anything else.

Most people here are very patient and greatly helpful. I know because I've made my own share of less than intelligent posts. But responses that bite and devour whoever are not helpful.

That's all I am saying. Take it for what it's worth. Nothing personal.

It's the internet, I don't take anything personally. I have taken advantage of tons of info from this forum. Every day I come here like everyone else to learn something new. When I see someone deliberately killing a thread especially one regarding this method, I gotta say something. This is one of the few truly noob friendly methods out there. Attempts to belittle, devalue or degrade this system are misleading and in essence possibly depriving someone who really needs a break the opportunity to try something fool proof. It's just not necessary and not in the spirit of WF.

I'm not lecturing, just explaining my uncommon nastiness.

Post proof of that. Man you are worse than a nagging wife. I inserted a nickel and you sure gave me $20 worth! How would I be killing this thread? You sure didn't like my question.

Who attempted to belittle, devalue or degrade this system? Please tell me. Post evidence. I just asked a simple question to know if people are making money with this system. Chill out man. That's also your opinion.

Edit: Now I know what got you really ticked off Radix. It was my comment about Google Keyword Tool wasn't it. Did I crush your dreams? Sorry, that's just facts. That tool was not meant for Seo. I use the tool too but I test keywords with Adwords for impressions excluding the content network. I've taken keywords from google keyword tool with 15000 + exact matches and when I put them through the Adwords test I get 2 impressions per day first page.

Soon the results will enable me to write about them for my course

I was pretty certain I read a comment about you trying mass article submissions---here it is. But thanks for your email support, you have been so great about answering my questions that I'm sure must be pretty tedious for you at times .

Ah ok, but the key phrase there is experimenting.

Mass submissions did not work to my liking.

All of this I'm writing about for the course update, especially Linkvana
and a very cool article writing software program (not a spinner).

A bummer - I was doing really well with half a dozen sites, someone at Google has taken a dislike to me though and shut down my account with the very helpful reason: "While going through our records recently, we found that your AdSense account has posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers." No explanation as to what this means, or what I did wrong, just the arbitrary slap...

Have launched an appeal, see what happens

[simonheng82]

how much do you earn before getting your account banned? How long have you been with adsense?

Have you had any other monetization option son your site EXCEPT AdSense?

I hear that Google dislikes sites that rely only on AdSense and prefer sites that offer other sources of revenue, such as affiliate banners, Amazon widget or the like... The obvious reason is they don't want you to make strictly "Made-for-AdSense" sites.

So, can your website exist and make money even if you take away AdSense? If so, then perhaps Google will like it... perhaps...

Of course the most annoying thing is Google doesn't give you the exact reasons. But I have heard some AdSense veterans suggest the steps mentioned here to possibly avoid the slap...

Huh? Google likes your sites if they get good CTRs and they're making money not which types of affiliate banners you have on them. I have a couple sites that barely have any back links but are ranking on page one because of the CTRs. I dont know why else it would be there.

Google knows they have a ton of adsense publishers who only focus on adsense, and are not going to penallize you for only building adsense sites. John, when is your book update coming out? I got an email from you a while back about it and was expecting to come out in June? Im curious to know how you have adjusted your strategy. Ive been using article submissions, not linkvanna, but others that have been working pretty decent. Thanks

[exaltedadam22]

Guess what? During my keyword research I ran across several sites that have a similar provision, haha, I found some good web design, and I learned a lot from these peers.

[Dougger1]

I have 10-plus Adsense sites up and running with the CTR template. I understand backlinking and on-page SEO optimization. I have more than 300 articles on ezinearticles.com. Do you all think I would gain that much new knowledge if I purchased John's new book?
