Exclamation Adsense ebook gurus are liars??? What are their credibility’s?

Hi guys...

I have a question here and I hope any one who have some idea or input could share some.

I have received many emails from my website readers who are mainly newbie to online business asking about why ebook gurus who sell methods of making money online never show or reveal their website which they claim making money...tonnes of money...with adsense...

I realized this as I did purchased some ebooks when adsense were newly introduced by Google, and it is true the gurus never reveal their website address. Most of the time they will show the snapshot of their adsense account showing lots of money being made daily... well that snapshot could easily be faked.

Anybody know why? What are these GURUS credibility if they can't even show their websites and let others analyze their sites?

P/S: any new ideas to increase adsense income are highly appreciated too...

Thank you guys,

Some people don't show their sites because they don't want people stealing their ideas/content. And while I'm sure some of these people fake the info just to make sales from their book, sometimes people just prefer to keep their stuff private.

Yes, I'm usually skeptical about many of those AdSense/money-making books too. And it's unfortunate because often times the author really is making the money they claim. It's hard to tell sometimes.

I think Lisa pretty much covered the two reasons that I can come up with:

1) Most people would rather keep the niches they market private... sometimes, internet marketers come across small but profitable niches and subniches, and it would not be too wise to reveal them to others. When I spend my money and time in research and trial and error, it is in my best interest to keep this info to myself, and not hand it over to anyone.

2) They may not reveal their sites because they may not have any. They may have decided that they wanted to make their money by selling ebooks to other internet marketers instead of implementing the info in the books they sell. They are still in internet marketing, but their niche is not cat lovers, coffee lovers, or computer geeks, etc... it's other affiliate marketers.

In my opinion, this does not represent the value of the info in the ebook, i.e. it does not necessarily mean the info in the ebook is worthless... as I mentioned, it just means that whoever is marketing it is choosing to make money by selling products to other internet marketers instead of implementing the advice in the book in other niches.

On the other hand, the info in the ebook could be worthless...

So like with any thing else, you have to be cautious. It's usually ok, though, because if the ebook is bought from a reputable source (e.g. clickbank) you always get a money-back guarantee.
