craiglist is hard to market but then you have to be smart and try not to spam but is arbitrage legal for google as google wants to rule the world and the inernet ad market they just dont allow you to advertise on other sites and make profit out of them as it would hit their bottom line
well, here is a rundown of how i think this might have gone.. you sign up for Ebay affiliate, you go to the craigslist wanted section, you find the product that they are looking for, you contact them and provide a link to the product using your affiliate codea, and you sit and pray that they will buy.. suprisingly, it does work ! try it out guys, sharing this good karma around..
not really but thats a very good idea. im not selling anything just using adsense. basically im giving people a summary of info, then giving them the chance to find more information at a url that i put in the post. and now its not work at home or any type of affiliate and there are NO promises of making money. more or less its all informational. and this morning I woke up with another $6 in clicks from the ads i posted yesterday Now Im planning on picking up an auto-poster. anyone have sugguestions?
Lol if you found something that works, why would you write an ebook - get tons of people doing it as well, and create competition for yourself as well as run the risk of the increaed volume causing a crackdown?? I don't get it. I make over 200 a day on adsense and I'd never write an ebook. Jeez I wouldn't even put one of my sites in my sig. There's a lot to be said for keeping some things to yourself. - ps yeah craigslist is ok for certain niches, and I mean just a few.
Heh some guy was selling an ebook here last week detailing that method. My problems with it: - ebay payouts suck - I would rather spend time working on things that give income over time, even the short time, ie spam links that will get me traffic for a week. With the technique mentioned above, you are putting in work just to get one possible payout - there's no guarantee the person will buy what you sent him, wasting your time. So its an ok method; but not the best use of your time if you are finding success in other areas of internet marketing.
I can spend an hour or two a day on craigslist for four days per week and knock out $3,000.00 to $4,000.00 monthly with lead gen paying $4.00 to $6.00 per qualified lead. I've set up all the ads needed to avoid spam filtering, post in the proper categories and use 25 to 50 email addresses. Works like a charm
You have the wrong definition of arbitrage. What your're doing isn't arbitrage, it spamming.Craigslist Hates spammers and will go to the extent of getting your adsense/affiliate account banned.
FYI: one person reports you, and you will get a warning from google to stop. If you don't stop asap, you will be banned for one of two reasons. 1. you dont fit their 'business model', or 2. incouraging clicks(read the tos again if you want to know how that is possible). Just a friendly warning.
Thanks all for the 'warnings' If I do get contacted by G regarding these tactics I will stop ASAP. However, I can assure you the templates/pages Im using have already been approved by a G rep. They are pages I used to use for MFA style sites, I am simply giving them a direct means of traffic.
Straight from adsense policies: "May not promote sites displaying ads through unsolicited mass emails or unwanted advertisements on third-party websites" Spam is an unwanted advertisement .
SPAM is a subjective term. It used to mean "mass unsolicited emails" But somehow it has come to mean anything you do to promote your website.
posting our link in classifieds site or directory is not against TOS , then what is "Unwanted Advertisements" ???
