Paying for adwords and profiting from adsense???

    Is it possible to use adwords to profit from adsense? has anyone done it?? Generally it seem like you want to use adwords if you have an ecommerce website or affiliate programs website but not just for an adsense website.. or does it matter??

    digital point users, give me your feedback! :eek:

    There are many stories I've heard of it being done. But fair warning, if keyword searching isn't your favorite thing in the world it probably isn't right for you. It relies very heavily on finding the "gems in the rough" to make a profit.

    If yyou use adwords wisely then you may well make good money from it. there is a feature which allows you to place ad only on their network and using this you can set cpc as low as 0.01c. Learn more about it though before uing this advice.

    Well... why do that? if you can actually go ahead to another search engine and PPC (pay-per-click)

    You could actually find a good keyword to target so you could buy that keyword in PPC BUT AT THE SAME TIME target high paying keywords to increase your AdSense per click revenue...

    Hope that helps!

    It's called arbitration. It's not 'legal' by Google policies. They know all about it and work to prevent it.

    correct :)

    if you try to do this, then both your adsense and adwords account will be in problems... strongly recommended to stay out of arbitration, the days when this was possible is long over now!

    yes, this is called arbitrage and it's forbidden by G rules. You may try it, but you risk a permanent penalty.

    well To be honest. it was possible, i earn hell lot of money in past. but now quality scores. and low google adsense earning makes it difficult. Now let me first clear the thing you call arbitration.

    Arbitration mean you just drive traffic and sell it onwards. if you just do traffic arbitration no matter what you do you never able to earn profits from adsense. as google is boss they track everything and you cant cheat them easily so traffic arbitration with google adsense/adword formula = Fail :D

    now how you can earn money by adwords & adsense. first you need to make a killer site on which user stays for atleast 3~4 min(which make google believe that User lands on very relevant pages thats why staying on it) second the content should be like trap which makes user drill into your site. so more impressions and more chances of increased CTR. so here you make Profits. because in that case user gets the content they want. which makes google happy, user happy and the adsense publisher happy

    But again as i told you, now the golden days are over. these days it is virtually impossible to make profits just by doing adwords/adsense.

    I think it is possible to make money that way, but most people use AdWords to get their website out first to build some kind of customer base. Once you have the base + AdWords advertising, AdSense becomes profitable. Same is true for other aff. programs.

    People do make money with Adsense Arbitrage, but it's not easy and you will lose a ton of cash if you're inexperienced at it. There have been several ebooks written on the subject (Google Adsense Arbitrage).

    It is also against the Adsense and Adwords rules and could get you suspended. Definately not recommended!

    that seems like a great idea!.., wait does yahoo have a "adwords" type thing like google does? whats that called if they do? i'm sure if they do yahoo would not have any problem letting you pay for there keywords. it might be a winning and safe combination.
