Arbitrage

Alright guys,

I've been reading around on here about Arbitrage. I've got an idea what it is, but just have some questions.

1. I'm seeing mixed opinions on if its allowed with adwords + adsense. Does Arbitrage = banned account. OR is it only when you send visitors to a cheap-MFA site?

2. If i have a site now, that is making $50 a month with adsense. It's been running for over a year, I'm gussing that means google sees the site as "OK", not MFA. would this be ok to try Arbitrage with?

3. Is it possible to do Arbitrage with adsense and adwords? or is it best to try, adwords to CJ, or "somthing else" to adsense?

4. What is the best guide you have read on Arbitrage? (an up-to-date one)


Cheers for any answers at all!

Regards,

 

It's possible to do adwords to adsense arbitrage, but the hard part is finding the right mix of keywords. (If you find that, it's easy, but it's very hard before it gets easy.)

Adwords to affiliate landing pages isn't really arbitrage, it's just a way of marketing affiliate links. It works fine though and is probably a better idea than arbitrage, at least in my opinion.

 

Arbitrage is only for people who knows what they are doing and have deep pockets.

You may get 5% to 20% revenue and with risk of account getting banned. Unless u can do it on BIG scale, don't think about it. Its not worth your time

 

Good summary. There are much better ways to make money than Adsense arbitrage. Not to mention the hassle of 2nd and 3rd tier PPC search engines if you try them.

 

Thanks for these replies guys!

I guess the best thing to try then, would be "marketing affiliate links with adwords"

thanks again

What is a 3rd Teir and 2nd TIER PPC Engine. What the hell is that?

Is that like a 3rd world version of a PPC engine. So its like some scam shit infested network that cheats your clicks and stuff like that? Is that what a 3rd tier engine is?

 

Exactly. (seriously)

The tradeoff is that you can get lots of clicks for 1-3 cents each. Super cheap, but with the scammers, your cost per human visitor is usually around 10 cents or more (which is in the range of 1st tier search engines.) So it's a risk that can pay off in some cases.

 

Arbitrage is difficult. You need some cheap advertising networks, but if you use those you get fake visitors and a lot of headaches.
