Due to the Google TOS adsense arbitrage are not allowed as an alternative you can use Searchanyway’s templates for arbitraging and in certain aspects pay more that Google Adsense. Arbitraging is the method of buying relative cheap traffic and chasing it to a website monetized with high paying ads. It is a great way of making an income but is condemned in certain networks. Please do not use adsense as an option.
I have heard all the talk of the town that it is against policies to do arbitraging, But as it go’s that the major search engines does arbitraging themselves! To put it like this if you have a content site and buy your traffic as you don’t get natural traffic you are arbitraging right! By placing affiliate links in your website and adsense or other ads and pay for traffic you are still arbitraging! There are networks like Searchanyway that promote arbitraging as you will get a search engine template from them and all you need to do is drive traffic to these site and make nice money. Arbitraging is a business module and nothing wrong with it If you are sceptical about adsense you can always Searchanyway’s templates
RISKY BUSINESS! I think you mean "business model". And, yes, there is something wrong with it! GOOGLE DOESN'T LIKE IT!

It's a "goose/gander" thing. Or a "do as I say, not as I do" I ban arbitraging ads from my site and I know many others do, too.
Thanks for all the links and tips as it is a great way in making money I will stick with the networks that do allow it, as there is many! You don't need adsense to do this as the networks that allow you to do it pay mutch more that adsense
In early 2005, 2006 there was no problem with arbitrage but now, arbitrage is against Google TOS and i've heard to many awful stories from many webmasters.
It's a bad idea it will definately get you banned by Google. It doesn't take much for Google to find these MFA sites.
it's really hurt to have your account banned when you are already maing around $1K per month... Even if you can create another account, you cannot put ad on the same site that give you big $$ again... so fellow, be careful and don't be greed to avoid losing everything...
I have spend some time looking up Arbitrage again and still can’t find and real problem with it. As all the resource that I have used to learn about arbitraging states that there is nothing wrong with it. As to Adsense arbitraging is apparently wrong please excuse my post about ADSENSE Arbitraging just to let you know there is networks that run on this form off advertising and pay out allot please except my apology. So please don’t use Adsense in arbitraging but don’t discard this method as it is a big money bringer.
been arbitrating for years, no problem. as long as the page is not an MFA or doesn't meet up to the TOS of Google. those who claim arbitrage as a bad practice haven't tried it themselves and just wish for those that does arbitrage the wrong way to either go out of business or fail. But to those who do it right and real, we are just out there doing the low profile stuff lol MSN , YAHOO and GOOGLE all have arbitrage traffic by themselves. they can't ban themselves lol
The problem lies with the MFA (made for ads) sites. If there's no original content on a site it's a problem. However I don't believe it's a problem to advertise and promote your site in a legitimate cost effective manner.
Perfect.... this is what I have been saying all the while... Arbitrage is bad. But getting traffic from adwords to a site with adsense is not bad. If you have a product or if the focus of your page is not adsense ads then google does not have any problem ... The arbitrage thing is so blown out of proportion because of all those guys who just try to buy traffic through adwords. Good to find someone who uses this effectively.
Depends on what you call useless... if you have a site with a purpose other than making money through adsense... you can drive traffic to those sites by adwords.
