Adsense Arbitrage

Hi

Does anybody use arbitrage successfully for adsense ie buying clicks cheap on say msn or yahoo and sending traffic to your site who will (hopefully) click enough to make you more than the cost of sending them there?

Please share your experiences, thoughts, successes of even failures. I'd love to hear.

Thanks

Is that pic really you btw?

 

Arbi is getting harder, its almost impossible to use adwords now. I would go with MSN if i was you.

 

Easy earning days has gone now .. you have to bit more logical to get success in arbitrage now (i think)

 

I agree that it is nearly impossible with Adwords these days. But I have had some luck buying text links and driving up my SERPS. IMHO your ROI will be much better if you try to capitalize on real traffuc generted by SERP positions.

 

Ever since big change in adwords/adsense quality score change, my adwords traffic jumped from 600 to over 1000/day.

My site contains some great and unique content and I have only two small ads on top of it (on landing page) and one bigger ad on page after which is going to be opened in over 50% of cases. I get about 15-20% clicks on adsense ads from googlesyndication (adwords) visitors.

My ROI averages between 250-300%, and now I'm looking for ways to bring more traffic by using alternative (rather) cheap advertising solutions.

 

The easy days of arbitrage and $30 clicks are over. AdWords' landing page quality score forces sites to have more relevent content than old school MFA pages like AllTheIndustrials and 8 Best Sites. Even so, you're going to get most of your ads rejected at the CPC you like (sure, cough up another $3 per click and suddenly your crap page looks good to Google). Yahoo Search Marketing and AdCenter are way more liberal, but of course they only have a fraction of Google's traffic.

Anybody want to hazard a guess as to how these old-school MFA sites keep operating? Do they pay the higher rates? Do they have some work-around?

 

I've never understood why adsense arbitrage appeals to people.

using affiliate programs is going to get you a much better ROI.

I suppose adsense is easier than learning the nuances of how to get affiliate programs to convert, but it's something worth learning; it'll blow adsense arbitrage out of the water once you get even reasonably good at it.

 

Easy money is always appealing.

 

adword perform much better with affiliate programs...adsense arbitrage's ROI is just not worth it

 

A good way to make money using arbitrage techniques is by having different channels to but incoming traffic and to sell outbound ones. You might want to buy cheap impression based ads (not adsense) and show adsense on your site or buy adwords to sell affiliate products

 

you obviously don't know much about arbitrage then

 

tell that to the companies who invest millions of dollars every month in it. i'm pretty sure they are not making a loss.

 

You can replace adwords with soome alternative 2-tier PPC. Read this:

Arbitrage doesn't work as it use too.

 

Arbitrage can be a good tool for exploring niches to see if they are worth pursuing for affiliate deals.

If one can automate the arbitrage process to a degree, they get to conduct market research regarding the traffic and how likely they are to click in real time... and make a 100-300% ROI along the way.

 

Tried it. Failed miserably!

 

I might give it a try

 

Adsense Arbitrage is not dead, just like Adsense is not dead.
