That it's less than the search results value is obvious, what google did was against the greed of the SE spammers. Prices for adsense will rise again, there may be an adaption time during which prices will be lower, but just as with the search results ads, prices will soon reflect the real value of the traffic as pricing always works in a free market. Adsense is far from dead. This guy just used a provocative headline and an affiliate program to get subscribers to his email list. That's good marketing in my opinion. But I disagree with his conclusions in the free ebook.
All good points.

The purpose of the text was not to put people off from Adsense but to give them cause to reflect on ways to set up multiple streams of income. EVERYONE should have more than one iron in the fire and I would guess that most people on this board do just that.
