you know that I am proud of Monez.com, because it’s so unique on the Internet. Few day back bad thing had happened - my hosting was hacked and hackers added malware code to my website.

It resulted into banning Monez.com from Google and adding warning message when you come from browser.

I fixed that bug and changed passwords.

Everything is OK now, but I feel really sorry for that, because I have spent so much time building Monez and credibility.

Please accept my deepest apology.

We are about to review the incredibly named Google Magic Formula eBook, that’s quite a name eh? It conjures to mind all sorts of PPC wizardry, which could spell a small fortune for anyone who purchases it. But can this eBook make your wishes come true?

The sales pages of the Google Magic Formula is very visually appealing, it looks nice, it doesn’t contain the usual mixture of brightly coloured text shouting stupid headlines. Unfortunately, looks is as far as the quality goes, the content is full of wild and exaggerated claims that you will gain financial freedom my following the formula. Again the same ridiculous and overstated claims, hyping a product which contains no such knowledge.

OK, let’s start by saying that this two volume set of eBooks, with over 100 pages between them, is very well written and exceptionally well presented. Seriously it’s one of the easiest to read eBook I have looked at in a long time.

Unfortunately, although it looks good and it is easy to read, it contains the usual ideas of combining Google AdWords with affiliate sites, although it does include far more options than the standard glue AdWords to Clickbank idea. Nothing in this book is new, and nothing is taken to a high level of detail. There are so many eBooks available on this subject, many available for free, that I just do not see the point in creating yet another one, the author is obviously trying to milk the cow and line his own pockets, he supplies nothing new or of great value.

The eBook does a very good job of walking a beginner through the process of setting up an AdWords account, and creating their first PPC campaign. Due to the fact it is written so well, it is one of the better eBooks for beginners I have read so far. If viewed as an introduction to AdWords, the product has some slight value, but all of this information is freely available elsewhere on the World Wide Web. One strange thing I did notice was that volume 1 is far better than volume 2, it almost seemed as if the second eBook of the pair had been rushed, the formatting and writing style was not as high quality as the first eBook.

Conclusion:

Well written and well presented guide to basic AdWords usage, ideal for beginners, but no value for existing AdWords veterans. The whole PPC + Affiliate internet marketing model has been dead for a long time, why don’t the authors just stop writing about it? I am going to give this eBook a rating of 2 though, but this is ONLY if you are a new AdWords user, if you already have a PPC account with Google and know how things work, don’t bother with this eBook.

Are the claims that a Brazilian drop-out taught him how to make thousands of dollars a day true? Let’s take a look.

AdWords Profits 2 review

I hate sales pages, I really do, they insult me in every way, and does the author really think I am stupid enough to believe all of the garbage he has written on this page? WAKE UP JACOBO! Insulting my intelligence in this way is not likely to make me want to buy your dodgy eBook. I am much more inclined to be impressed by simple fact, not obvious exaggerations. Quite frankly, if you were earning thousands of dollars a week as you profess this eBook will teach, you wouldn’t be selling it in the first place!

Once again, I was expecting complete junk content within this 57 page eBook title. What I found was a mixture of the usual re-hashed knowledge and a few little pieces of gold that I was glad to learn, this was a major surprise!

The author is describing the tried, tested, and worn out method of internet marketing which is combining Google AdWords with Clickbank affiliate products. How many eBooks have been written on this subject? Does anyone make any money doing this anymore? A few years ago fine, it worked well, but the combination of high click charges, and flooded product market have seen a huge decline in its potential. The only saving grace for this particular eBook is the fact it does bother to introduce two alternatives to using Clickbank as a product source.

This eBook actually gave me 4 really cool pieces of information. It introduced me to PayDotCom and 7DollarOffers, both are viable Clickbank replacements. It also made me aware of IM News Watch, kind of an internet marketing news wire. Finally it gave me a link to a very cool keyword tool at http://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/index.php, which is a very basic keyword analysis tool, too basic for heavy use, but for those ideas you want to test quickly it works very well.

Conclusion

Although this eBook is another representation of an existing internet marketing model, and adds nothing new to the whole idea, it does a good job as an introductory text for beginners. I would have given this eBook a big fat one star rating, but the fact that it did supply me with a couple of useful links that I did not know of previously, I am going to give it a 2. If you do not have an eBook in your library which covers using AdWords with Affiliate products, it would make a good addition. But all of the information in this eBook is available for free, if you take the time to look for it.

AdSense Secrets eBook by Joel Comm will guide you through the process of setting up AdSense on a new website, and how to optimise those ads for positioning, quality and content. Although the eBook does briefly touch upon the subjects of page creation, content generation and search engine marketing, it is weak in these areas and is not sufficient as a full guide. This eBook will teach you how to get the most out of your Google AdSense clicks and is easy to understand.

Key concepts covered by this eBook are:

• Basic site setup and domain purchasing – Detailing where to purchase a domain and offering some basic advice about designing a site as well as recommending some free tools. A very weak section of the eBook, almost useless.

• Changing the colour and layout of AdSense units to maximise performance – Introducing the idea of making ads look like they are an integral part of your site scheme, and making visitors accept them more easily.

• Choosing the right style of AdSense unit and where to place it on the page for best performance – This section covers which type of ads to put where, it uses the excellent Google hot spot map as a basis for designing the perfect AdSense enabled website layout.

• Controlling your AdSense ads through page content – By using correct key word weights and meta data you are taught how to control the ads that are served to your website.

• Added Value Google products, such as custom search, video ads and link ads – A discussion of the specialty AdSense content, which will not suit every site, but are fantastic additions to the Google line-up if used correctly.

• Creating site content, and where to get content for free – Covering writing your own content, or employing the services of a freelance copy writer to produce content for you. Some useful tips are given on how to get free content from article sites and other public domain sources.

• >Response tracking using AdSense channels – Demonstrating how separate add channels can be implemented through the Google AdSense control panel, allowing you to judge the performance of multiple websites, pages and ad groups.

• The effects of Google Smart Pricing – A full explanation of smart pricing, how it affects both advertisers and publishers, along with steps that can be taken to overcome it.

• How to analyse visitor statistics and use them to further increase click through rate – Introducing ideas to investigate which types of content and landing pages saw the most success, and finding ways to use this data to improve your overall AdSense performance.

• The concept of comparative testing of ads – A favourite with autoresponder users, the eBook adapts the concept of split testing to prove which ads are performing the best within a website.

• Very basic SEO practices and traffic generation – Touches on link building and reciprocal links, this part of the eBook is outdated and of little use.

Some interesting links found within the eBook are:

www.DomainAnything.com – A place to find and purchase good domain names.

www.elance.com and www.guru.com are good places to advertise. You can invite designers to give you quotes and pick the best based on price and talent.

The sample page at www.google.com/adsense/adformats lets you see all of the different kinds of ads at once.

The Google hot spot map at ttps://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/static.py?page=tips.html sums up the options pretty well.

Several good keyword tools such as www.overture.com and www.googlest.com, www.clickhereforit.com also has a list of keywords with their prices.

Kanoodle is introduced www.kanoodle.com/about/brightads.cool.

AdSense Log http://www.metalgrass.com/adsenselog/index.html

www.AdSenseBuddy.com.

Kontera (www.kontera.com) as an extra income stream.

AdSense Secrets 4.0 Review

The sales letter is the usual kind of bullshit, make yourself thousands a month with a few mouse clicks, does anybody believe this crap anymore?

OK let’s get something straight right here, Joel has been a little clever within this eBook, he has shown a real Google Adsense report, showing earning of over $600 per month. The problem is, this report is dated 2004, anybody who know anything about AdSense will agree that AdSense income back in 2004 was a lot easier to achieve. Why did you do this Joel? I saw this screenshot a few pages into the book and instantly I’m lead to think you are dishonest, I recommend you use a 2008 screenshot with the same level of earnings in edition 5, if you can.

Setting this aside for a moment, the book does a really good job of teaching a beginner how to use AdSense within their pages. It talks about add positioning, colouring, and a whole host of other things that can increase your CTR (Click Through Rate). In truth I was quite impressed by most of this section, it was all relevant information, and although it is not new, it is invaluable to anyone just starting out with AdSense; it was well written and easy to understand.

The author also goes into quite a bit of depth about analysing performance, and improving your AdSense CPR, he covers things like selective testing and targeting quite well.

Where this book get’s very thin, is in the areas of setting up a website, and more importantly pulling traffic to that website, the laughably short sections about SEO are a real joke, better if he left them out completely. The ideas upon where to get content start out well, but then the last 2/3rds of the content gathering section just talks about places you can copy content from, you should know Joel, Google penalises duplicate content sites, it’s a major no go these days.

Overall, this book is a little outdated, certainly a lot of the SEO and content ideas are far behind the times. Joel also talks about several tools that are no longer cutting edge as if they are a gift from the gods.

If the author had left out everything apart from the excellent guide to optimising your AdSense revenue, I would have given this book a rating of 3, but due to the fact that every non-AdSense related part is pretty much garbage just talking up space, and that some of the actual AdSense focused content is out of date, it gets a 2.

Conclusion:

Excellent book for AdSense beginners, useful as a best practices manual for AdSense, covers every major topic although nothing that can’t be found for free elsewhere, but good value as it is all found in one eBook.

Great information on all aspects of using AdSense correctly, from the basic setting up of an add, to advanced subjects such as page hot spots and visitor statistics.

Terrible attempt at adding extra value by talking about setting up a website or blog, performing SEO and creating content.

3hourProfits.com 3 Hour Profit Review

Knowledge to be found within this eBook of this so called money making opportunity is so easy that you can use just 3 words to describe it; Spamming the Craigslist. For some people it isn’t a barrier to making money but of course there’s a barrier to this business, the barrier being Craigslist itself. It prevents it’s valuable visitors from wading through spam ads, using for example IP check, email check and other types of controls. You can only use affiliate type ad in certain categories where there are hundreds of new ads daily and it’s like Pandora’s Box. Generally this is not a business opportunity you want to be involved in.

I personally don’t like this type of business opportunities because it’s just wasting your time and energy and you are making authors of this crap rich. Do you think you can get rich spamming Craigslist and other websites with affiliate links? Let me know below the review.

Conclusion

Monez is strictly against spamming so I decided to give SCAM rating. If you are more into black hat add 1 star to the rating but generally this eBook is just a piece of crap.

AdWords For Beginners eBook Review

The Answer is easy; VERY BAD quality, nothing new, several years old rehashed information, recycled info which is hardly sufficient to understand AdWords, forget about making money from this eBook. Just 10 small chapters with one extra chapter as a conclusion. One chapter is all about opening a Clickbank account, one about creating an AdWords account, one about creating  AdWords Groups etc.

What is more interesting and it will help you to see whole picture of just how big a piece of trash the eBook is, online completed with AdSense ads and banners. He must be really rich!

The author promises earning thousands but all he can teach you is creating accounts and setting up primitive campaigns with few adgroups. This is how people are earning money online? WOW, I want in!

Conclusion

Another AdWords earning eBook but this one has exceptional LOW quality and I think as far as I remember this one is the worst!

P.S.

AdWords for beginners and SixFigureYearly.com are "recommended" by WorkhomeTOP10.com, I would recommend you to stay away from them, they are just recommending junk.

You can no loner sell digital eBooks from 1st of April 2008 using their auction site. What does it mean for you?

Ebay was used as a cheap traffic source for selling eBooks. This is now no longer possible. Well not quite impossible, you can still sell eBooks or other digital downloads but by using physical version like CD or DVD.

Here is a list of firms you can use for creating and distributing your real products:

www.Disk.com CD/DVD duplication, fulfillment

www.kunaki.com

www.lulu.com books, DVDs, calendars

www.printpelican.com posters, magazines, greeting cards, etc.

What does this change mean for eBook buyers?

One simple thing; all eBooks about selling infoproducts on eBay.com must be rewritten, so don’t buy any at this moment or just simply incorporate physical products.

SixFigureYearly.com Review

This eBook has a slightly different sales letter than other money making eBooks but I don’t think better, it reminds me of MLM sites and you can bet that the truth is not so far from it.

It has short 10 chapters, over half of them are an introduction confirming that you chose the right product, that you can work from home, without hassle, computers are your workers and other well known bullshit. I found one interesting point; the author Michelle Campbell of the eBook calls eBooks “informational assets” which made my smile. I understand her completely, if you are selling junk you have to create your own words to make it more interesting and more difficult for newbies. By the way: the eBook is written in a very specific language, a target group is clear, beginners but the style is very strange.

You are perhaps curious as to what this eBook is about? I don’t want to delay it anymore; you simply create a review site of her eBooks (or she can build it for you) and then she recommends sending traffic to the review pages. She talks very briefly about Google AdWords and that’s all! This is a new-age pyramid scheme, you simply buy his product and than you have to promote it to earn money back. One way how to escape this trap is creating your own review site but provided info is insufficient.

Conclusion

I don’t want to waste your time. The Six Figure Yearly eBook is a SCAM for a new age style MLM, no added value, strange language, lack of valuable information, very pricey (included information have ZERO value) and I could continue on and on…

DoublingStocks.com Marl Robot Review

Marl bot works simply,  you start the software and after a short time you will receive results, more interestingly, every day you receive just ONE stock tip.

I have been testing the stocks it recommends and from many stocks advised just ONE moved up, the others moved down (very down). Even if you used a stop loss system you would have lost money.

Then I asked my stock guru friends for an opinion and here it is:

The authors of DoublingStocks.com are recommending high-risk and volatile stocks. They are using technical analysis which is for these type of corporations (small and with low liquidity) completely useless. Graphs offered on their sales letter are useless (because of the technical analysis). Most of the trades are realized within one month, they don’t put exact dates!

This eBook is based on selling thousand of eBooks for 47 bucks and than they have enough market power to change the price of small corporations stocks. Who is the winner? Of course the owners of DoublingStocks.com because they buy first. For other players in the game it’s very dangerous, you can (and you will) lose money very fast.

Conclusion

No surprise, the Marl bot is a scam. What did you expect?

P.S.
Real working stock bots are being sold for millions, don’t believe that you can buy one for $47 and will become millionaire.

P.SS.
Three days ago somebody hacked into DoublingStocks server and Marl was giving following recommendation: "Marl is a scam, contact Clickbank for a refund" and I am saying the same…
