Well as of June 1st Adsense arbitrage will be dead ( I may be wrong but judging from these links it seems likely).

Edit: Yes MFA sites are being killed too.

 

Yes, and it seems it's not only arbitrage, but MFA too...

 

Yes, thanks for pointing that out.

 

interesting, thanks for posting

 

I'm really don't care all that much because I'm pretty sure I won't be effected by it, but I guess it will be a refreshing change and will help clean up a lot of the crap that is out there on the net at the moment.

 

Finally they are doing something.

 

What is 'Adsense Arbitrage'??!

Edit:*Looks at thread links below!*

 

Indeed, it was about time they take actions. Lucky who tasted the juice of arbitrage and MFA sites (till now).

 

Interesting urls. I would imagine that there will be a lot of glassy eyes over this.

Seems there was lots of revenue being generated from people that were doing this. My understanding is that the arbitrage model does not violate the Google TOS, so you cant really blame anyone that profited.

I guess we will have to wait and see how big this movement really is.

 

thanks you for posting, interesting article about adsense arbitrage = dead

 

Finally it seems that this will be end of adsense arbitrage and MFA sites.

Google should keep the money from this publishers and find a way to return some of the money to advertisers.

 

.. and you like to call yourself a BlAcK HaT

 

will it mean more or less income from adsense though?

 

Good content is king ,I keep telling ya!

 

Probably a bit less at first since there may be a large kick-down in advertisers. But since those advertisers are also publishers, I'm expecting things to even out. Face it, it can't be much worse than $0.01 and $0.02 per click! I was running another experiment and had killed my filter list (and was getting a lot of the above values) I'm going to leave the list blank and see if I see it start to increase without any action on my part.

 

Just about to begin and it ends well.Back to SEO.

 

Oh thats just to bad..

 

LOL, he was correct that "it ends well", though methinks that nay was what he was intending

 

Erm, I still dont know, what does arbitrage mean?

 

Yeah I don't know either. Somebody should define that word. Or use define:arbitrage on Google.

According to Google:

"Buying securities in one country/market and selling them in another." I don't think that's right.
