Adsense is the best paying make money online program on the internet. I just wish that i could increase my website traffic to high levels so that i could earn more money on Adsense.

The book is a decent introduction to AdSense, but contains serious errors.

I got a copy of the Dummies Guide to Adsense and on page 55 it tells you to put this code

User-agent: *

Disallow: /

in your robots.txt file to ALLOW robots to view your whole site. Wow. That code will EXCLUDE all robots from the entire server.

The correct code to allow all robots complete access is

User-agent: *

Disallow:

(or just create an empty “/robots.txt” file, or don’t use one at all).

I mean come on…the entire premise of the book is to get traffic on your site and here the author is giving you a “tip” that will shut you down completely.

This book is very good… I have read a few books on the subject and the 2 books I suggest are this one and & “The Adsense Code” by Joel Comm Fantastic Book. Also if you want to see my web site eBaySolver.com or eBaySolvers.com to find out about solving your eBay Problems.

Most of the stuff you find in this book are found online in google adsense. Infact, you may find the latest updates also. And i found this book is not very well organized. I am really surprised to see there are lots of gramatical mistakes too. There are some usefull links regarding adsense in this books. Except that, i dont think this book to be very informative.

“Adsense for Dummies” is an excellent and informative book and, as usual, Amazon was very prompt in their service. If you are thinking about setting up an Adsense account with Google read this book first since it contains advice on how to set up your Adsense account and your website. Google AdSense For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)).

Thank goodness I read this (c) 2008 gem before I set up my Google account! Google had just placed AdSense ads (and very appropriate ones) on my “A Writers Ruminations” blog, and all of a sudden it was time for me to learn the current Do’s and Don’ts for setiing-up a Google account, and maximizing the effectiveness of AdSense ads on both web sites and blogs. This thorough and informative book answered all my questions and then some, and guided me through one process after another – step by detailed step. What an enormous blessing! Now I can more comfortably plan for AdSense on my web sites, too. Thank you, Jerri Ledford~
