    Arbitage the ultimate guide
    Ok everyone on the net that is interested adsense arbitage so I thought I started checking it out about 4 months ago and have discovered some different ways of doing it and what does work and what doesn’t work.

    The latest one I tried as you will see from my previous blog posts was adsense arbitage using a blog which seemed to work ok, the first week I tried it I put $40 onto my adwords account and then advertised my site for a week and found that most days I made 40 -60 c for spending a dollar in advertising a day , so wasn’t great so I tried a few different placements the next week and found that for my 40 - 60 c a day I was making $1 a day which may not seem like alot but when you have a network of these sites can turn into some real profit.

    After that I thought what other networks may work with abritage , well I tried it with bidviser after a week of it costing me 60c a day to make 10 - 15 c a day I figured bidviser wasn’t worth the trouble with arbitage.

    Next thought was Azoogle ads but I wonder if it would work as well as most Azoogle ads you have to get people to signup or give you there emails , but worth a try got nothing to lose so I put a banner at the top of the page advertising free product and then started the advertising campaign again it cost me 60 c a day , and after a week I had made $2 from 2 signup’s which isn’t bad . If I worked harder on my placements of ads I would be able to make alot more from this method so if you are willing to give it some time give it a go.

    Ok so I tried a blog for adsense arbitage and know you can make money off it so what next what about just a normal arbitage site so I decided what high paying keywords I going to use for site , got a free template off the web then we need some content. I went to freelancer.com and got some one to write me some unique articles on the keywords I have chosen. Then I set about putting a banner at the top of the page then put some ads blended into the pages with text. Now site is all setup I set about advertising it using Google ads and I found after a week of spending a $1 - $2 a day I was making $3 a day so thats a $1 profit not bad for not alot of work.

    I have found using Google adword works well for arbitage but what about using Adbrite rather then Adwords well I tried it for a few weeks it worked well but I found the cost per click to be higher then Google but still worth the effort to try.

    So thats it for my guide on arbitage if you want more advice leave me a comment on my blog and I will get back to you.

    The problem with the Adwords>Adsense arbitrage is that in a few weeks (or days) the quality score of the campaign will make non profitable your arbitrage system.

    I think that the adsense arbitrage is possible, but it works with alternative advertising networks like adbrite (researching for cheap websites spots), and a very good ads placement in your website.

    Good luck

    Basically it's about brokering traffic, buying low then selling high. Since I have experience in adwords and adsense, I thought I'd give it a shot. I didn't buy any ebook to learn it, it's really very simple, isn't it?

    The trick is to find keywords that you can buy cheap, direct them to a landing page with adsense ads on them targeted around higher paying keywords. Of course, I've made sure to stay within the TOS. Every landing page is actually just an optimized page within an existing website I own. The landing page has very good content, links to other very good sources, and is designed to primarily to help the visitor make an informed decision.

    Most of my websites are still doing very well. I'm buying clicks for around $0.25-$0.50 each, and averaging $1.00-$2.00 each from adsense. Not to mention I'm getting some affiliate sales as well.

    I can't recommend any ebooks since I didn't read any on this subject specifically. The concept is so simple anyway. If you can add and subtract, you really don't need any software other than a calculator or simple spreadsheet.

    But here are the basic steps (you can probably find an ebook on how to do each step best):

    Find some related keywords. Sort them by price. Buy the ones that are cheap, then optimized your landing page for the expensive ones. You should try to get a spread of 5 to 1. pay $0.25 for a keyword, but optimize for a keyword that pays >$10. In reality, this means keywords that pay around $1.25.

    Make sure your landing page is for real. Focus on things that should improve your quality score. Don't just make one for the purposes arbitrage. Make them a natural extension of your website that you can be proud of and one that google will proudly index. If you already have a very good page somewhere on your website, just optimize that one for the higher paying keywords. Also use every legitimate technique you can find to optimize your adsense placement. (blending comes to mind)

    Cut your losers fast. After about 50 - 100 clicks (about $25), if you are not making a profit, stop your ppc campaign. Figure out what the reason is. Low click through rate? Paying too much per click? Earning too little per click? Sometimes there is not enough volume to start with. I'll drop those too.

    Eventually market conditions change, whether it's seasonal or the demand or more competition. If you're new, you still have a lot of reading to do. it's no simple task to implement each step. Finding a good spread of keywords, optimizing pages, developing adcopy, lowering your cost per click, etc...

    But the bottom line is arbitrage works.
