A Review Of Xfactor's "Adsense Masters" Course
If you've visited the Adsense board recently, you couldn't help but see the 1000+ reply, 50,000+ view thread entitled: 6 Months Later: $300 Daily w/Adsense (Lessons Learned) The thread, based on 'lessons learned' from a full-time Adsense pro who recently doubled his Adsense revenues, very generously lays out the 'what' and 'how' of a very successful niche-based Adsense business. Despite the generous postings of the OP, it was very clear that people were virtually begging for a step-by-step 'roadmap' of how to replicate John's successful business model. The result is the "Adsense Masters Course". For a Warrior special price of $39.95, I downloaded a 90+ page ebook that has to be one of the most detailed step-by-step guides, complete with a walk-you-through-everything course that lays bare John's exact business model. This is NOT an "Adsense Encyclopedia", nor is it meant to be. John is very clear in stating that this is a very specific Adsense business model, and therein lays much of the goodness. What you get is 7 chapters (94 pages) detailing EXACTLY how to duplicate John's current $300/day model. (NOTE: There are also a series of videos coming within a few days) The chapters are thorough, well-written, well-illustrated, and extremely easy to follow. While there is plenty of information on selecting niches, keyword research, Adsense placement, etc., every bit of it is in the context of reproducing John's exact strategy, right down to the nitty-gritty i.e. what colors your header should be and why, where to get your backlinks for ranking, precisely how to write your content - even down to how many words, etc. You get screenshots of the exact templates John uses - worth the cost of the course alone, since they have already been tested, tweaked, and optimized to the nth degree. The second-to-last chapter provides a detailed "7-day Action Plan" that a complete newbie can follow to success. The final chapter, "Growing Your Business" provides an excellent discussion on getting beyond $10k/month. Throughout the course - as was the case in the original threads - there is a good dose of reality: everything that's written is written from direct experience, and John is quick to point out where the limits of his experience are. Bottom Line: If you want a real, detailed, proven Adsense business model that works, this is it. In fact, as someone who's been involved in Adsense for years, I have never seen such a complete, and completely realistic, "Here's Exactly How To Create A Successful, Long-Term Adsense Business" guide anywhere, for any amount. It should be noted that by itself, the course will not do a thing for you - there is real work involved. However, if you have the willingness and desire, but lack the blueprint, now you've got it made. Mark |

Actually I have to totally agree with the review above. Read the book in an hour and started implementing it right away (damn my 9-5 that doesn't allow me to work on it full time - just yet).
I would like to add something clever here as my personal review, but I can't, the above post really touched on everything that is important take away from it. It's so simple and so far reaching, it's amazing. And one thing I was musing about yesterday is that in a way or another we all do it to an extent, we just don't realise it. We all do article marketing, setting up sites, but at least for me, so far evereything was so scattered, I diidn't put it all together. Seriously, this was one investment I don't regret at all having done. |

Ah, glad to see someone taking this up, I wanted to comment also.
I have been following John's thread as well - it contains loads of useful information by itself already. Then, when it became clear that he was going to write it all up in detail, I decided to buy his course, and I was not disappointed. The PDF is a complete compendium of John's business model. I have yet to see someone else give out that much detail about their working processes. It's pure gold. Personally, when I surf around concerning IM topics, I'm totally sick and tired of all those silly sales pages, all the nebulous promises, the ongoing hunt for yet another better "tool" to make you insane riches instantly, the daily list messages constipating my inbox that are endlessly promoting more videos, more e-books and more "tools". John's course is refreshingly different. It's a BS free zone. He doesn't promise you'll get rich without much work - quite on the contrary, he is brutally honest and makes it very clear that you do have to work hard and consistently, and then he lays out the exact steps for you. It can't get much easier than that. Also, there is nothing nebulous about his method, he is very up front and makes it clear that what he reveals is his personal business model which has earned him substantial amounts. The course - and before that, the "Lessons learned" thread - has shown me that the time to stop shopping around and procrastinating is over NOW. You won't earn a penny if you don't take action, so I'm taking action now. The first niche keywords are identified, the first domains are being registered, content is being written as we speak (well, once I'm finished writing this post anyway ).My personal challenge will be to adopt the Xfactor method to the German market, where many things work a bit differently. Also, the way I'm going to manage my microsites will be different from what John proposes: I'm going to use a multi-blog Wordpress setup because I'm comfortable with it, and WP can be beautifully tailored to manage small non-blog sites as well. Besides, that gives me a way of managing my sites wherever I happen to be, without being tied to my home computer. I cannot thank John enough, first for giving out all his useful advice on the "Lessons learned" thread, and then putting it all together in a low-priced cookbook where he shares all the fine details. Kind regards, Zorro |

I agree with all of the above. This is the best course on adsense you will ever find. Straight and to the point, no fluff or hype, it's simple to understand so even a beginner could easily follow John's instructions and make money.
John's personal 7 day action plan alone is worth the price he is asking for the entire course. It tells you exactly what you need to do each day to build 2 micro sites every 7 days. Just rinse and repeat to build your virtual real estate into a money making empire. John - Thank you once again for creating this money making masterpiece. |

Hi,
John´s course is very detailed and precise. One of the best courses I ever bought. I hope that everything will work out for us/me too in the same manner that it did for John. OTOH I hate to see it proclaimed here. It should be kept as a secret -

Ditto, ditto, ditto to all of the above. It took me all day between those pesty work interruptions to get through the e-book but I devoured with enthusiasm every word of it.
I, like so many, have jumped from one thing to another and just a few months ago decided to focus my time back on my Adsense sites. Even though I have made money with affiliate marketing and my own e-book, I think Adsense/Amazon/Ebay sites are my favorite. I think when we first start experiencing internet marketing it is a little bit like being a teenager again, where we have to just try everything to get it out of our system. John's e-course has added to my desire to just focus on my Adsense sites. I think all the benefits of the e-course have been laid out here in previous posts so I won't repeat them. As John says, he is the real deal and if you are interested in making your income from Adsense then get yourself a copy and get started. |

Just want to add yet another glowing endorsement for John's Adsense Masters Course and his excellent thread.
I agree with everything I have read in this thread. As some have pointed out, John is VERY responsive and the course is incredibly detailed. The things that I worried may not be covered sufficiently (not due to John, but due to past experience) were content creation and template design. I was extremely pleased to find that he did a bang up job covering both. I can't think of anything he missed in this course, and he even tells you why along the way. Also, his writing style is very appealing which makes the book a very enjoyable read. A+++, two thumbs up, highly recommended, etc, etc ![]() If you want excellent info and a complete system for growing an adsense business, this is a must have. Patrick |

Yes this course is in fact the REAL DEAL... John is a perfectionist when it comes to keeping his customers happy and he totally over-delivered on this one. And to think, there are still videos to come
![]() The template layout he explains and gives live links to starting on page 57 are outstanding and when he explains why he did what he did, it really makes a lot of sense (adsense in fact ). Something I never would have thought of on my own that's for sure!Job Well Done! Mike Hill |

It always surprises me that people are singing praises on a method that they have not actually tested. Just because something sounds good; it does not mean it is.
Nevertheless, I would like to actually try the system. The link provided above though gives me this error: An Error has occured

Well, I can say that I never claimed that it "worked". Just that it is put together nicely and John is a great guy and wrote a really great book. Nothing is certain as there are too many variables. Heck, Google can ruin everything tomorrow.

Now I'll know much more in a few of weeks as I'm in the midst of implement Xfactor's methods on new sites. Should know a lot in just a few days actually, but so far, so good. The course is great AND I'm making more money so far - how much more remains to be seen, but I'm super positive! Now back to work on AdSense and The Xfactor way . . . | |

I too followed the thread and bought the course and, WOW, what a bargain. John really delivered and wrote the book in a very easy style. I totally agree about it being a BS free zone and I too am so sick and tired of all the hype around the IM world - the sales letters that would fell a forest if printed on paper, the "here's how to earn $59,743.14 in 4 days" type promises and the never ending supply of tools and systems. John lays out a very easy to replicate system that involves that awful phrase "hard work". Im going to give it a go - hope you do too!

The book...and coming videos...just takes it all a step further. There is nothing more that I can add to the previous testimonials for John's course. The simple way John has laid this out means that ANYONE can put this into action today without fear of not knowing how to do it or if it will actually work. He literally walks you through everything. It really comes down to this...for newbies and those who have struggled for several years to make any real online income...you can either continue to buy WSO after WSO (I've been there myself over the years) or the next latest and greatest $2000 "guru" product and chase rabbits month after month looking for the next "big thing"...or you can get this course and start making a consistent monthly income. Thanks, John for putting out a quality product. | |

Simply A.M.A.Z.I.N.G
I never give reviews on stuff because it usually sucks. However after reading Johns thread twice I thought the best way to tip him would be to buy his ebook. ...I think I owe him another tip. The book is awesome. He IS the "real deal" and goes waaayyyy beyond your every expectation. I'm just sooooo happy I started reading the Warrior Forum and stumbled on Johns thread (which is a must read too!!!) If you want to learn how to make a sustainable income from Adsense (or affiliate commissions) the read Johns book....read it 2-3 times....let it sink in. Then Act....that's all you have to do (and that's the hardest part). ![]() Thanks John Matt Rizos |

John's Adsense masters' course? Excellent, priceless. Period.
I've started unsubscribing from all the nonsense lists I'm currently subscribed. I'm set to launching my first couple of Adsense mini-sites by next week, the Xfactor way. Here I come, Adsense!!!

John thank you so much for such an easy to follow, detailed course. Everything you need to make his type of sites is freely shared so we can replicate his success....have researched and bought my domains and am now writing the first page for my site, and it's just about ready to publish.
I would prefer to use the wordpress platform rather than Xsite-pro and was wondering if anyone knows a theme that can be tweaked to look like Johns sites as shown in his ebook. You could private message me so as not to give anything away about his layout. Will appreciate any info about this and again thanks John for a great ebook. |

This course is a breath of fresh air. No hype, but a COMPLETE detailed blueprint which anyone can follow.
Anyone who is in this business for any length of time will be sick of all the products where all the effort has gone into the sales letter and little into the product. Which is often incomplete and impossible to implement. This course will go down as THE course for 2009. From a marketer who dare I say it, is honest for a change and not a professional conman- sorry Guru. He tells it all. Warts and all. After spending 18 hours reading and rereading the course I have now changed all my efforts to implementing it in every detail. Thank you John for "telling it all". Terry Ackroyd |

For example I have a site that is making me on a daily basis 50-80 cents, sometimes as low as 25-30 cents. It's a personal site of mine about meditation, so I was not really focusing on Adsense to be honest with this site. As soon as I changed the other day my Adsense the way John described in the thread, I saw an increase to up to $1.65 for that site. Yes you might say it's nothing, but that's just one site that doesn't conform to John's specifications, just switched around a bit the Adsense and removed the additional ones I had on that page to unclutter the site a bit. And the earnings went up. So yes, that works and this is what made me buy John's product. Can you say the same for the many WSO's that are posted on the forum that people buy really unknowingly of what it will really bring them as all one has in front is a well crafted sales letter with some well placed testimonials? | |

I give John the same glowing reviews already given above for his Adsense Masters' Course. I'm extremely happy that I bought his course as this is the real deal - and to be around a no BS teacher! He explains exactly and clearly what, why and how it should be done, unlike all the puzzles and scams of past courses that I bought that I couldn't quite piece together.
I consider him a real mentor and myself lucky to have found his course. I also want to concentrate on this business plan now. Thanks a lot, John! Quote:

@loybond........thank you very much for the theme. I am wordpress people also and i think about how to make the page from wordpress look like John Xsitepro.
For the adsense course, as i am not native speaking, i am really understand his ebook. It is easy follow step by step and he explains everything in detail. Why he do that? There will be the reason. Hope everyone who bought his course going as what he told us to do and get success on adsense.

This is not just the best book on Adsense it is truly the only thing you will need to succeed. I've bought ebooks and courses and this is the real deal. If you don't get it you will be the one who misses out. It's unfortunate that some people let few pennies get in the way of dollars. Every successful business has a start up cost this is cheap for a life time of income stream.

I realised a rather weird phenomenon. The courses that gave me the most mileage and improved earnings have been WSOs which all costs less than 50 dollars. I have joined costly programs from a number of so-called gurus, yet, the effects on my business are less. I suppose the gurus talk more about strategies and not so much the step by step tactics.
Anyway, Great job John. I have seen improvements in my earning since i made slight changes to my sites. And yes, wordpress sites work just as well too. |

First of all, THANK YOU all for the kind words. Second, it's not my business to interfere in an independent review thread, but I wanted to bring up Loy's template because I've gotten a lot of complaints about Loy's posting of his wordpress template from paying customers of my course. No Need For Concern 1) Loy is a good guy and is just offering a starting point for those that
use wordpress. 2) There is SO MUCH MORE to my exact replica in the course - little details that Loy is not sharing. 3) And finally, a template is just a small fraction of what I lay out in my course so there is no need to be concerned (but I DO appreciate all of you looking out )- John |

Not much left to say about John (XFACTOR) and his Adsense course because it's all been said MANY times and it is ALL TRUE!
I have been around the IM block several times, have my own ebook online, have websites too....BUT, I MUST say that what John has provided is an absolutely NO BullSh-T way to earning a living online with Adsense. Thank you, Sir! Best money I have "EVER" spent for an IM course. Ever. PERIOD! |

John, and others, I'm sorry... the thought didn't even cross my mind that I was sharing information from the ebook. I just saw that a fellow buyer wanted to use WP so I whipped the theme up quickly, but again, my apologies - I've deleted it, sorry about that fellow buyers!
And to prospective buyers, I can tell you that a theme or template is hardly enough to find success with. I have sites that have a consistent 25% CTR on a monthly basis, but that is just one part of the equation. I don't have the traffic I want, and my EPC often doesn't make sense. I choose what I purchase very carefully, and John's book is a very informative read. If you really do need a crash course on what to do, buy it. Think of it as replacing a night out or something if you find it expensive. The other option is go through a ton of experience yourself, which takes a lot of time and patience. As John says himself, the book condenses what he's learned over a long period of time, and that's exactly what the book puts forth. He doesn't try to sell you this or that, or lead you on, and is absolutely straight up about what you need to do. |

I'll second that John really cares about helping others. He's provided a ton of good info in his thread and the wait for his ebook was worth it.

I'll not expend a lot of vocabulary extolling the virtues of
John's (XFACTOR) book and program except to agree with those who have praised it. This is good stuff and presented in a manner I would compare to a father trying to save his teenage son the pain of the many scars he is about to gather as he begins to enter adulthood. "Son", the father might say, "I know you are probably not going to listen to me because the knowledge you have gained in 13 or 14 years of life you feel outweighs my years in the trenches. However if you will have patience to listen to what I have to say then maybe later if you do not find success you may want to give my methods a chance."(Remember how much smarter your father got the older you got?) I as many others have purchased many products. Some good. Some not so good and some absolute trash. This is how we learn. If I were asked to recommend a single program to someone just starting out in internet marketing, this would be the plan. The only investment I can see is the very modest cost of the plan that John has given us Warriors plus hosting and domains. I don't know of any good methods of building a successful business on the internet without the last two. No fancy software or trickery is needed. He does recommend a paid keyword tool. I noticed he did that without an affiliate link. I can vouch for that tool also. However the plan is chock full of a four letter word that I know will discourage some folks. (Probably mostly affect those who have not been successful) I will repeat that word here but please do not send me angry emails for my choice of language. I got this directly from John's ebook. The word--WORK. Yep you will have to do some. He mentions it enough to make sure you understand. Personally I don't think what he describes as work is actually labor. I believe once you start doing what he recommends you will find it enjoyable. After all where else in life can you write articles and have a chance to express yourself while at the same time earning money from your efforts? However having said all that I must confess that just like the teenage son I do have a couple of problems. Not with John's methods. I think they will work well if followed to a tee. However as many folks who have wandered around the net for a number of years I have developed a few habits that will be very difficult to alter. First I love Wordpress. It has been so long since I built a for real website that I have forgotten what HTML stands for. So I will start to follow John's instructions with this one exception. I gotta try it first with my blogs. You might as well ask me to give up powdered sugar donuts. I am just not that strong. (However I am also convinced that some early morning when no one is around I will sneak over to the machine and build a couple of those html thing-a-ma-jigs to test against my blogs. I am hard headed and weak but not so dumb to pass up what might be excellent advice). The only other problem I struggled with was putting text on these sites describing a product with out then throwing in an affiliate link. However I have overcome this fear and am now building and in some cases rebuilding existing sites following John's advice. It makes a lot of sense. Sure some affiliate commissions are greater but they do have to buy something as opposed to Adsense where the mere action of a click puts us on the positive side of the balance sheet. He does give us the latitude to put affiliate links in but I will, in the effort of withdrawal go with his best advice. However in the effort of total disclosure I will still set up at least 4 sites on different IP's with good keywords to link to the main site. On these sites I will continue to use software to bring in eBay and Amazon ads. Hopefully this will not distort or worse yet hamper my efforts in using John's methods. For those of you who, like me, just gotta try it once with Wordpress I would offer one tip. I made my blog template into an almost exact copy of John's html site. I use Artisteer to build my templates. However one problem remained and that was the colored stripe that John mentions. But I believe you could make a reasonable example of the site with any good available template. The main problem is the colored stripe. It is not necessary to delve into the mysteries of php and CSS to solve this issue. Just make sure you use a template that allows widgets. Drag a single text widget over, insert a table the proper size and background color and then place the suggested information in the table and your problem is solved. I am sorry I can not be more explicit but John has earned the right to keep his template and it's design to himself and his customers. I want to be of help but do not want to disclose his hard earned methods. Anyway, looking back over this diatribe I guess I used up a lot more vocabulary than I intended. Some things are just worth the effort of describing. I think John has done a masterful job on his program and you could benefit yourself greatly I believe if you made the investment. Chet Hastings |

nice post ironwood,
but, I see clearly the trend of wordpress and people who are trying to sell training suggesting wordpress. [not including John]. This is because wordpress is easy to set-up, though it is not the best way. I strongly suggest using an html website, because they rank better, and maintain rankings better than wordpress. If you don't keep updating wordpress your rankings will decrease. Your rankings and traffic will remain stable more with an html site, just as John says once you get the backlinks and rankings there is little maintenance. SBI! - Blog or Build? I am still using frontpage 2003, if you don't like that use xsitepro. But find a way to build a html site. There is a membership site that launched recently, they make 6-figures a month with there system, they promote using wordpress, but later they mentioned their own sites are html. To me that is very telling. I'm sure there membership site would be less success if they told people they had to build a site with frontpage or dreamweaver. They know people are scared to do this or too lazy to learn. Ok, I'll stop because this is a review thread. John's adsense course is super, you'll learn adsense conversion tips not taught anywhere else, not even taught by Joel Comm, John is better. Just use an html website.

![]() However, I just want to make it clear that just because you use WP, you don't have to make your site a "blog". It's just a content management system. You can duplicate the recommended sites exactly using Wordpress. This program is great no matter which site building method you prefer. | |

The ebook sounds awesome! I would like to get it but would like to know if the program will work for sure on Word Press.
And if so what themes are recommended? I really don't want to learn coding, WP is enough for me, so I want to be sure I can find a theme that will work for the design that is recommended. |

This is definitely the best and most informative e-book I have ever read. It's worth sooooo much more than what it is being sold for.
John takes the time to break-down every single aspect of such a simple process so that you really can't get it wrong. I read the book twice so that I missed nothing - and I still keep referring back to it constantly. MNF and XsitePro takes awhile to get used to - but after you spend some time with both programs and get the hang of it all - you get an awesome overload ![]() I'm currently promoting my first 2 sites and am starting my next 2. So I will keep everyone updated with my progress. |

Do you really believe that all of these testimonials for this product would speak so highly about it if it were using ANYTHING that would break Google's TOS and potentially jeopordize your acct? If you take even a quick glance at the authors thread in the Adsense section then you can discover more on his character and methods for building white hat sites.

Actually, yes. Considering his video on his WSO for earning $100 dollars a day has layouts that break all of Adsense's TOS. So of course I worry.

If you are so worried and know that he is breaking all of Adsense's TOS, then why would you even consider buying his products? Do you have proof of your accusations? That's a pretty serious statement to make.
