Speaking of AdSense books, today I coincidentally received a copy of the latest royalty report for Make Easy Money With Google: Using the AdSense Advertising Program, the book that was the genesis for this blog. As of December 31, 2007, just over 6300 copies of MEMWG have been sold. This includes several hundred copies of Gagnez facilement de l’argent avec Google et AdSense, the French translation of the book. (No, I didn’t do the translation!)

6300 copies may sound like a lot, but it’s not. The book was published in 2005, after all, so it’s hardly a bestseller. I haven’t even earned out the advance yet, although it’s coming close now. But as I’ve stated before in The Uneconomics of Book Publishing, there’s so much work involved in writing a conventionally-published book for the money you get that I doubt I’ll write another one without first having ensured that it would be a bestseller.

Money aside, though, it’s nice to hear from the readers who enjoyed the book and learned from it. I’m still surprised it sells, to be honest, but the material still stands the test of time even if the screenshots are now wrong.

Feel free to pick up a copy to use as a gift. Or a doorstop
