Michael Cheney AdSense : Scam . . .?

I got an email directing me to:

http://www.adsense-videos.com/

It's about how you can learn a fool-proof method of making lots of money through Google AdSense. I thought it would look like a load of rubbish. After Googling this guy it seems he is regarded as an Internet Marketing expert.

Has anyone heard of him or know anything about the service he's offering?

Thanks.

Hi

I have heard of him and actual plan to buy this software.

I should day now as well that I do have a clickbank link to this product on one of my sites but only because I liked the product.

It is your typical slaes B/S site, which is what converts and sells so you can't argue that.
For me the best bit is that you get the adsense campaign tracking software that shows you what is working and what isn't. I don't think its a magiv overnight thing and it does not claim to be.

It also says you get 11,000 content articles, can't imagine that they are any good but hey its what $95 for the whole lot? Of course you need a MySql database (I think) and the hosting account to go with it.

My conclusion

I don't think its a scam
I don't think its as good as it sounds
I think its useful for anyone who has lots of adsense sites which I do!

It may not be an out and out scam but its the sort of product that brings into question the whole credibilty of Google Adsense.

Yes I agree.

There are loads of these get rich quick or make $1000's for spending 10 minutes on your PC type schemes on the net.

Lets face it, (and someone said it here before) if you have the know how and ability to make $1000's online then why are you going to charge just $95 to help someone else do it. You have just got a competitor with the same technology as you!

The reason this is worthwhile for me is purely for the adsense tracking data. It can tell you which ads, colour, size, border, type etc convert the best. You can fine tune your adsense campaign. For me with 30+ adsense sites a system like this will easily be worth $95 so I am going to buy it. I don't believe it will improve my AdSense performance by ten fold or any other amazing margin though!

I could be wrong, but that sounds like the same bloke who sends me junk mail every week flogging some internet marketing video or other. I think it started after I added a site to a UK directory (seniority.co.uk?).

Yep he owns that directory!

That would explain why I got it then . . .

Hi guys,

Thanks for the positive feedback!

First off - if you're getting email from me it's because you opted into one of my lists. I give full warning in advance about the fact you will be sent emails (even from the directory submissions) and you can unsubscribe at any time (see the bottom of any email).

As for www.adsense-videos.com being a scam - it's not. I need to clarify something:

I am not saying that this is a get-rich quick scheme or that you can make money without doing anything. You get out of it what you put in.

Also - there is some confusion about 2 different sites. I have one site that just promotes the AdSense Tracking software (that is not mine) and gives you some bonus AdSense-related videos to boot if you buy.

The other site (mentioned above) is the site where I sell the full package of videos.

Guys are emailing me every day saying they've applied what's in the course to sometimes double their clickthrough rate after a simple 2-minute change. This is not BS - this is me spending an entire YEAR devoting my life to AdSense and then sharing what I've learned.

If you think it's a scam how would this possibly happen;

No hard feelings guys - just defending my corner here! ;-)

All the best

I've seen some of his videos. He shows you HOW and its up to you to DO. It's basically adsense consulting. People do consulting for all types of business and its not a scam.

Yeah agreed, like I say - I like it it looks good.

Trouble is there is so much cr@p out there that so many people are very wary of this type of thing!

I just automatically bin anything like that ... who's got time to sort out the 1% of genuinely useful stuff out there? Or is that 0.1% these days?

Anyway, I'll take your word for it. But is there anything in there I can't learn reading this forum?

It's like the late night info-mercials about selling on e-bay. You can make some serious cash, IF, you first put down a substantial investment in inventory, then spend 16 hours a day tracking bids and what sells. There is a lot of leg work you have to do, but the "methods" work with luck, research and proper implementation and motivation.

Not that I am advocating these types of products, whose marketing teams often go after the less fortunate, somewhat desparate to make money people. The fact is, why sell the product for 99.99 if each person doing it can make $5000 a month. Why not hire a bunch of people at $3,000 a month and keep the profit?

Nothing against Michael everyone has a plug or product or service to sell and there is nothing wrong with that...

I suspect though that "1" out of those 1804 sales on Day 5 will make anything substantial - simple because only "1" out of 1804 will make a substantial commitment and only get the same results after due diligence as Michael, and only after they develop their own videos for the same thing...???

While it ain't rocket science - the law of averages reads like this:

If you can achieve it - you likely didn't need the videos and if you need the videos - you likely can't acheive it.

This is why I'd recommend if you're paying for ads, just stick the search results. There's to many sites created for the sole purpose of running adsense that will deliver you low converting traffic.

I hate those sites. I really think that ad-sense quality is severely diminished by them. And the overall return for great informative sites that run adsense to supplement are diminished by those scraper sites.
