   I wont recommend a Paypal button on a website which already shows Ads. This is because, it has a wrong impact on the website visitors. Visitors think that this website is cheap that it is not earning enough revenue to take care of itself even after showing Google Ads. This makes it clear that the website is not having quality traffic!

   Sorry for offtopic I just wanted to know your opinion for this google adwords guide. I last weekend found this website : google adwords tutorial
   and they claim that this ebook will give information you how to advertise with google adwords. I have doubts to buy that or no? So many utorials I purchased but many was waste of time. I just thought some of you have some opinion about it or purchased this guide? Can you give your thoughts?
