some rants

[Phil]

why do we need another adsense forum? isn't associateprograms, webmasterworld.com, searchengineforums.com, abestweb.com, googlest.com enough?

what do this forum have to offer that is not available in bigger discussion forum? more ads? more banners? bigger adsense ad boxes? more traffic and money for joel? the power to say whatever he wants without worrying about moderators because this is his own board? the ability to control negative feedback for his book? the power to censor bad reviews?

i'd be impressed if this thread is not deleted and if i'm not banned for opening this topic.

Hi Phil (and all),

Your question is valid.

Let me offer my insight.

I was not even aware of the other AdSense forums you mention. I'm sure they are all useful!

I chose to join Joel's forum because I bought his book... I put his recommendations into action... I earned three times more AdSense money than ever before. It's results.

So, when I heard that Joel had a forum, I instantly realized that this was a great way to learn more from someone I already trust. Easy choice for me.

Also, one other point... I have very limited time to spend doing research and learning new techniques to grow my business. The reason I have so little time is because my business has continued to grow over the last 6 years, and I need to tend to the daily mechanics of doing business.

I sincerely hope, Phil, that you will continue with this forum and share your knowledge and insights with us all. I respect those who are willing to help others. It's a good thing.

I look forward to seeing you often in this forum.

Have a Super-Terrific-Most-Wonderful-Day,
