    Hi fellow marketers,

    I thought that it was about time I gave back to the DP community and show you a couple of tricks on how to make arbitrage work.

    I‘ve been making $XXX dollars a month using 2-3 strategies sending visitors from a traffic provider to a page with Google adsense.

    What is PPC Arbitrage?


    PPC Arbitrage is basically buying and selling clicks, you buy clicks from a 3rd party traffic provider and you send to your own page that has clicks worth 10x what you paid for

    What I am going to do for is post regularly on my next campaign with all my stats and money earned so you can see how easy it is to make some easy cash!

    Step #1 – Build a one page niche site.


    Let’s say we use mortgages as a niche, I hear that you can get quite high cash per click if you are in the right country!

    A nice easy way to get a site up and running is to use a free blog service such as www.blogger.com.

    Choose you self a blog name such as mortgagesareus.blogspot.com. Now go to an article site and find a suitable article on mortgages and chuck it on your site.

    Now this article doesn’t have to be to amazing just enough to get those Google ads finding those keywords. You don’t want people to go
    “ooooo what a lovely site, I wonder if there is anything else on it?”
    What you want them to think is:

    “agghhh, what a crap site , how do I get out of here?”


    Hmmmm, look here some nice delicious ads that a more relevant to their tastes, what do you think they are going to do next?
    Easy so far? If not you are in the wrong game buddy!

    Ok the next thing we are going to do is find a traffic provider such as Adbrite (see sig)

    --------------------\
    I have found Adbrite to send a heap of cheap traffic as low as 1C a click and find it converts at around 25% and even up to 40% if you choose the right traffic, so for instance if I buy $20 worth of traffic (2000 clicks) for a niche and send to my site and then 25% of that traffic clicks on an ad and each as is worth say 25c it will look something like this:

    2000 clicks/ 25% = 500

    500 x 25c = $125


    So I spent $20 and made $125 with a general overall profit of $100


    Now this is just a general statement, I’m not going to guarantee that you will make that much profit; it’s going to come down to what you choose and how you play the game!

    SO to make it easier for you I am going to post my results here and hopefully help out a few of you newbie’s to make some cash for Christmas!

    So, stay tuned over the next month and some new skills.

    After setting up my arbi page XXXXXXXXX.blogspot.com, I am going to need my cheap traffic, so for this campaign I will use adbrite.

    Once you have signed up with adbrite, navigate to the SITE DIRECTORY and click on the BROWSE BY CATEGORY drop down box, now choose your NICHE market. I have decided to have a go at RINGTONES niche so my market will be quite large, so I will choose ALL SITES to browse. Click the BROWSE the TEXT MARKETPLACE and start looking!

    On the left hand side you will see some options to choose from and one of these will be COST PER CLICK, choose 0 – 5C.

    Now you have some great options to choose from. Make sure you know your budget and always stick to it, but don’t be afraid to make mistakes and lose some cause it’s going to happen just keep trying!

    So now that I have chosen my advertiser, I need to figure out what my advert is going to say. I’m not going to tell you which advertiser as I still want to make money on this to you know! (Let’s just say that for this particular advertiser my profits are 4 to 1 or 4:1 every dollar I spend I get $4 back.

    AD CONTENT


    This is important, so you have to think about this for a while and not rush in. Here is a demo:

    Hot Widgets Here
    Info on all types of widgets absolutely free!


    Ok now this has got the visitor interested which in turn send them to your widget ARBI site.

    I am going to spend $20 on this campaign and I am getting it for a week, so I am expecting to get round about 1500 to 2000 clicks for my RINGTONES niche. It usually takes about 24 hours to get the add going, so I am going to sit tight and let you know what happens over the next few days.

    I am expecting to get a nice return of about 70 -80$ but I guess I will have to wait and see!
