“A prince may rise from a private station either by wickedness, or by the favor of his fellow-citizens.”

The Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli, 1532

(yes, we’ll get to Adsense Decoded in a minute)

There are two types of internet marketing products that make it to the top on clickbank.

The first type is the one written by a member of the guru insider club. These have a cookie cutter, hot-button pushing sales letters that reveal little about the actual product but know how to really stoke that buying fire.

These products are destined for success because they have JV partners aligned weeks before the product launch. Sometimes even before the product is actually created. That’s just the name of the game.

Other products rise to fame and fortune from much more humble beginnings. The only things these products have going for them is their quality and the limited marketing surge mustered by their creator.

Adsense Decoded is of this second type.

I subscribe to over 3 dozen Guru and sub-guru newsletters. I like to read how they present their offerings and I also like to know what they are promoting. Mr.X from Adwords Blackbook says it’s the best way to find the hottest affiliate products and I’d say most of the time he’s right.

Not so for Adsense Decoded. I can’t remember getting one email about it. Of course years of hard drinking may have caused long term damage to my cognitive capabilities (just joking – well kind of).

Anyways, I bought this product a while back and thought it was quite good. The 47% CTR on Adsense is what really got me going because I thrive on Adsense for all my black hat sites.

I do get CTRs like these but I always want more methods. And the book is written by a doctor (Patrick Hillenbrand) and they complement me well.

Doctors sat through a decade of school without messing up. They’re patient, they’re meticulous and anal and they can’t skim over the details. Just the opposite of me.

So I thought “at best, this will remind me of what I need to be doing and have neglected to implement”.

And I haven’t taken a stab at Adsense Arbitrage yet because I have too much going on. I’ve wanted to do it for some time now but the information on the subject is limited and I wanted a quick jolt of know-how, not a dozen hours of wading through moldy forum posts infested with wankers and wannabes.

Adsense Decoded turned out being pretty damn sharp, although it does have its shortcomings.

I buy far too many internet marketing products. It’s an addiction, like eating chocolate and cracking your knuckles. It might be bad for you, but you do it anyways. But I digress.

I only end up writing about the ones that stand out, either because they’re so piss poor I pity the victims that buy them or because they’re good enough to get my seal of approval.

There are a lot more bad products out there than I have time to write about… I’ve always wanted to dedicate some of my time to a good cause but really, debunking all the junk could take the better part of a 36 hour day.

It’s also a bit depressing that so many products, to put it bluntly, Suck, with a capital S. That’s why I email my subscribers with recommendations less than once a month.

Adsense Decoded does get my seal of approval. It’s not for everybody but it does hit some very important and possibly profitable issues.

It covers in great depth everything from setting up your site to choosing profitable ads for them. Yes, you choose profitable ads, not niches and that’s a biggie that almost everyone gets all wrong.

It also racks up your CTR and the payout you get for your clicks.

Did you know about Adsense Quality Score. Yeah Adsense. If you’re neglecting this aspect, you could be getting up to 5 times less per click from the same advertiser on the same ad. That means you could bump your profits up by several multipliers over night on existing sites, just with these simple methods.

One of my online buddies has been generating hundreds of dollars a month for years now on a big whitehat site. He nearly doubled his earnings on that site with these simple modifications.

And finally there’s arbitrage.

Adsense Decoded doesn’t give you the step by step lowdown on it but it does show you how to build landing pages, select advertisers and source the all important traffic.

I would call it the best Adsense resource available.

It did have some atrocious parts though, like a full video on setting up an Aweber account. Note to the author: your product is about Adsense….Adsense Decoded, remember?

Anyways, I built an optimized review for it and added a sweet bonus. If the page converts well, which I suspect it will, I might pull it apart in a following issue to continue my landing page obsession.

    Good review Alex…I think it will do well. I bought Adsense Decoded the week it came out. I found this product on CBengine, and was just going to read the sales letter for promotional purposes. But then I thought…what the hell. Im gonna buy it…eventually I would ad Adsense to my list of monetizing methods. I actually promoted it on Adwords using some of the APX methods…only 1 sale but thats because very few people have been searching for “Adsense Decoded”. It seems to be gaining a bit of ground now.
    as for the videos…they were informative…but yes a little dry and slow, especially the first few. but if you can wade through them there are some great techniques. ive read a few things about adsense, and I do think this product is the quickest way to knock out the basics and gain a little more than just the common knowledge.

    Hi Rian,

    I was going to promote this a while back because I liked it but as you said the traffic was low. Now it’s picking up steam and I hope it lasts.

    You’re definitely right about the first vids being slow and dry but I think overall there is a lot to learn from the package and some good tips everyone should be following.

    Although I’m diversifying and hitting Affiliate Marketing quite hard, I can’t see zoning out Adsense anytime soon since it’s still such easy money.

    Thanks for your comment,

    Alex
