Well actually today my adsense earnings are higher than adwords. Ok, so great this means profit which is normal. But where does my traffic come from? I have only one page indexed in google, none in MSN or Yahoo. The one page in google is my index. So...no SE traffic. I have one link on Wikipedia. I avg. something like 1 visitor per day from my wiki link. Other than this...adwords traffic We'll see if it keeps up. Pretty sweet if it does. So basically adwords advertising to my site produces profit because those people seem to be clicking higher paying ads than my own ad they clicked to get to my site...hmmm
Someone has rediscovered adsense arbitrage. If you manage to maintain a profit, then you can in theory spend more to get more. it'd be a good deal, but I'd think it might be a bit tricky...
I'm not sure I understand what it is you are saying that you are doing. Are you site-targeting one of your sites to bring target to another one of your sites? Is that what you are doing?
Sort of. It is against TOS is your site is specifically MFA. If you have a content rich site which advertises with Adwords and displays Adsense , it is fine.
I'd like to see where it is too. Half the adwords advertisers are adsense sites looking for a click. I'd love to see those accounts killed, cuz it'd probably lower the overall bids on phrases.
If he buys site-targeting traffic on Site A using Adwords to bring to Site B to convert with Adsense, and he owns both sites, then that's fraud. Not sure if that's what the OP means, though. I wish he'd clarify, because I really didn't understand his original post...
No, I am running a content-targeted adwords campaign. And it's not a MFA site either. I own one site, which displays adsense among all of the content.
Even if he buys site-targeted traffic on my site to bring traffic to his site but he's only paying 1 cent per click it's fraud (in my eyes).
I don't see how any of you think this is fraud, it's good business. If your business plan involves running PPC ads on your site to generate revenue, running a PPC campaign on adwords to generate traffic is smart. In my eyes there are 3 types of visitors (I run a forum): 1. Visitors that Become Members (This results in $$ overtime) 2. Visitors that Click Ads to Leave My Site (This results in $$ now) 3. Visitors that Leave My Site Without Doing Anything (No $$) I run several AdWords campaigns to attract members... the increased adsense revenue is a nice side effect, but it's obvious why it works... someone that clicks an ad to get to your site is MUCH more likely to click an ad to leave your site. There is absolutely nothing fraudulent or misleading about using AdWords to promote a site with AdSense ads... if the site is MFA, that's a different story. In my eyes, you might as well pay for traffic that's already known for clicking ads... chances they'll click another ad is pretty darn high.
I also have one website which has profit with adwords/adsense relation. adwords:adsense=12:17 which means that 1200$ with adwords would give 1700$ with adsense. My site is not MFA site, I have rich content and even dont run ads on all pages including pages that adwords brings traffic. What do you think that site is worth? I don't think that 10 times revenue is good model for it since I invested only 50$ this month in adwords.
