same here. to get the same amount of traffic I get from 1 Adwords ad, I would need to create 100 MS ads. on the other hand, it's 100 times easier with MS to push through an ad leading to a spartan landing page than it is with Adwords.
There is money to be made for sure with adcenter to adsense arbitrage. Focus on creating multiple pages and campaigns. volume is key here.
Such arbitrage would be easy cause of click fraud? How do you prevent click fraud? Thanks for any of your idea.
Volume truly is the key. I have some campaigns where I set up my YSM campaign first. Then I transfer same keywords and everything in AdCenter. So, two test cases, factors all pretty much the same...but for every 30 clicks I get from Yahoo, I only get 1 click from MS. But that 1 click converts pretty well !
I'm a noob with MSN - do they have contextual ads like Adsense? It then could be more interesting to drive adwords traffic to pages with MSN ads.
Well, I think you have to wait for pretty some time before their Adsense competitor can come out to the public webmasters.
The only positive of a Microsoft contextual search publisher system like AdSense is that it would drive contextual ads prices down a bit.
