Here are some quick answers to questions that have been recently submitted at AskJoelComm.com.
I read in your book "The Adsense Code" about taking ebooks and making them as free content website(s) and adding Adsense to the pages. I have several books I have authored over the years. Should each book (topic) be its own website or is a one "master" website with pages or directory by topic okay?
This is a great way to come up with new content! Everything old is new again, and much of the information will still be relevant to readers. I recommend setting up a different web site for each book you have authored. Perhaps the name of the book is available as a domain name. What a great opportunity to publish valuable content and monetize with AdSense.
Joel, Recently I noticed adsense ads being displayed inside the email newsletter of beliefnet.com Can you tell me if google is allowing this now?
It's possible that Google is beta-testing AdSense for RSS feeds in select newsletters. I haven't seen this yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if it is announced soon.
I don't know who you are talking about, but people who create content-rich sites are making more AdSense revenue than ever before! I suspect that those who are taking the greatest hit are those who are building sites for the sole purpose of generating AdSense clicks. As I have always taught, the way to AdSense success is to create content that people will actually want to read, thereby growing your site with repeat visitors. The day for making "garbage" sites is past. Focus on building real sites that will be visited by real people.
