    y u no do it?

    Advertising (learn more)

    Advertise virtually anything here, with CPM banner ads, CPM email ads and CPC contextual links. You can target relevant areas of the site and show ads based on geographical location of the user if you wish.

    Starts at just $1 per CPM or $0.10 per CPC.

I spent $500 on Adwords and made $550 on Adsense

    You work on Adsense as if it were the Share Market. Anyway, this seems more risky to me than the share market.

    You cant guarantee it. SO its better to earn a good deal in Adsense first and then go for Adwords..

    It is forbidden if you are buying traffic to get clicks for adwords ( and saying out loud) .....There a thin margin between adsense arbitarge and just promoting your site using cheap ppc........

    The paypal thing? I think you might be right. I just paid them back out of my earnings, so no love lost.

    of course you are also risking to loose
    all the invested money, on account ARBITRAGE is
    a practice frowned upon by "G" so you're obviously
    not doing your homework.

    Your Adsense earnings are too low. Bid less & make more revenue.

    That's the first thing I thought. I didn't think you could drive adwords traffic to your site just to make adsense profits.

    that is pretty low roi i think.. I've done similar and returned more around 250% per day of my daily spend. could be the niche and your ad placement too.

    Pretty good if compared to other industries,but high risk if you were in online commerce industry.

    If they don't ease up on some TOS they won't have any affiliated webmasters in the future.

    To tell you how DUMB they are sometimes here is an example:

    When I first signed up (before they went public) by their TOS you could only use 1 block ad per page. Let me say this again: 1 adsense block per page.

    Ok, so I did this for a very long time. Afterall is was their own policy for us to comply. A while later they started coming out with optimize reports on how to OPT your performance and here is one of their own suggestions ---

    Placing more than one ad unit on a page often generates more revenue.
    Many of your sites only contain one ad unit.
    How can I fix this? Dismiss this tip.
