Should you purchase Joel Comm's Adsense templates?

Who's Joel Comm?

Joel Comm is a guy who has made a name for himself as one of the many "make money online gurus", with a specialty on Google AdSense. In fact, here's how he describes himself on one of his own websites...

Joel is considered to be the world's foremost expert on the subject of making money with Google AdSense. He's written the all-time best selling ebook on the topic, and his recent book The AdSense Code topped at #1 on the Amazon marketplace, and became a New York Times best seller.

He goes on to say that he receives big fat paychecks from Google AdSense.

He's known for selling "AdSense templates", which I have never purchased nor seen. But I am going to talk about whether or not you should buy them.

If Joel Comm is the undisputed king of making money from AdSense, then it stands to reason that you can visit any of his websites to see what kind of "template" he's using.

Just go to his blog: http://www.joelcomm.com/

If he makes big fat paychecks from AdSense, then all you need to do is copy his blog design. You don't need to buy his AdSense templates.

But hey, the blog designs I make use of don't mimic his designs. So why don't I follow his design?

Well, placement of AdSense creatives do make big difference, but only so far as they can be seen by everyone visiting within 5-10 seconds of viewing your website. What matters after that is if the ads are readable, relevant and interesting to the people visiting your site.

I don't know if Joel Comm is truly making five-figure checks from AdSense as he claims he does (packaged in a UPS envelope). Only himself, his bank, and the people at AdSense know for sure. But I'm confident I'm just as much an AdSense expert as he is, maybe even more. What I am not, however, is a skilled salesman nor copywriter. That's what Joel Comm is.

Let's face the facts, there's no way to go from making a couple of dollars a day with AdSense to thousands of dollars a day, just by changing the placement and colors. If Joel Comm makes five-figure AdSense checks it has more to do with his traffic volume than his knowledge of AdSense.

That's the secret he doesn't tell you.

One thing for certain, Joel Comm has made a name for himself as an AdSense god, if anything, he's just really good at making you believe it.
