Alot of people around the net say they are making money with adsense websites, so I thought I'd try it out and see what the go was. Basically what the idea is you make a website on a particular topic using free articles from any of the free article directories around on the net. Then blend ads into the pages in the text at top of page and in menu. So how do you get this to make money I asked well the idea is you advertise these sites using cheap related keywords with the sole intention that people will visit site won't even both with content and leave site through a higher paying keyword. I tried this I made a credit repair adsense website and advertised it using using cheap keywords . I paid $10 over a week to advertise this site average 0.20c a click to advertise the site and making $1 - 2 a click from ads on the site. In a week I made $25 so I came out $15 dollars on top. On thing I'd like to add is to make sure you choose good paying keywords like credit repair which pay high for clicks.
Well you did what is called arbitrage Things can olso go wrong with this strategy but yes that's a way how you can make some bucks
This used to work much better with much greater results a while back, but thanks for sharing your review and test.
I have been experimenting with arbitrage for a week now and have gone negative. Here's what I found. The number one most important thing seems to be, like you said, high paying keywords. It turned out that the keywords I have been using were too cheap. I paid $.05 per click for the traffic to my landing pages (got 10 before I stopped), and converted it into $.11 adsense gain. Don't have to be an accountant to see that this is a bad scenario (which is, of course, why I stopped it). I think tight monitoring at the beginning of an arbitrage campaign is crucial. But here's my problem, and maybe you could address this for me. High paying keywords require high paying cpc advertising. If I'm going to try to get the most targeted traffic possible to my landing pages (with the expensive links), how do I do it in a economical way? I do my keyword research with keyword elite and find that 99% of keywords (related to any specific niche I'm researching) either are too expensive or won't bring enough impressions/clicks. How do you find keywords that are decently targeted to those high paying adsense ads without breaking even or not getting impressions for your ads?
I think it's best to settle for the few 'cheap' keywords that won't bring such a large amount of visitors in order to increase the profit rate. If you want more money, add more niches to your portfolio.
Adsense arbitrage is really hard to work. It is much better to use affiliate programs for arbitrage. This way you have more possibilities to get your money back.
That is not a bad approach. What I normally do is just promote the website as it stands. To what ever niche you are working on. when traffic builds to your website then conversion increase. What I have come to realize is that when you use ad words and overture to start it works out 1:1.5 not bad but immediately you stop traffic also stops. So just promote your website to fall in the general search and work on getting it to the first page. with that you are guaranteed a steady conversion stream. my 2 cents
And then it's not called arbitrage anymore. It's simply called "buying ads to sell products or leads." It's a more highly evolved form of marketing. Arbitrage is when you buy an ad to sell another ad. But I agree 100% with Nikolas. Affiliate is where it's at.
The problem with arbitrage is that the cheap traffic is not the most targeted traffic, or the traffic related with the high niches in Adsense. Is difficult to make money with PPC to PPC, I think that use adwords or ypn to send traffic to a MFA site and get a revenue is very difficult, you can try to send cheap traffic using adcenter or clicksor in high rates niches but also you have to make a website very 'optimized' to get high CTRs, but its also a risk to have a very high ctr with adsense and you can be banned... I have seen some people sending traffic to mfa sites using adbrite, but I dont know if they have good results. Good luck
Arbitrage with PPC is a big risk. Visitors who follow to the landing page want to see what they clicked for and nothing else. If you offer them any other,they may not click.
