Secrets? Advertising is advertising – the secrets are basic advertising and Ad tracking principles that you can find on the internet free of charge or read in local library books. Any serious business owner should understand basic Marketing principles and that is what is contained in the book so far. This is not to say that some “secret” will not be revealed in future issues; who’s to say? However, similar to purchasing books, if you do not wish to do the research yourself – there is his eBook. But for the price of $47, I feel that’s a pretty steep price for less than 30 pages of content and no real case studies – [ he published his book only 3 weeks after joining Chitika, admitted he was just capitalizing on a "hot" topic. So I am curious what types of studies he conducted to make any "secret" conclusions and what REALLY was his motivation?.] At this time, it really lacks any “secrets” and I would wait.
