    Hello friends,

    I have came across and have gone through so many notes available online to find out usability and importance of PPC arbitrage.

    But irrespective of my efforts, still I am not in position to use it for my benefit.

    Hence, anyone knows anything relevant, plz post your comment.

    arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a price differential between two or more markets.

    Exactly what they do with shares and sports, you find and exploit and difference in price between multiple markets, it happens more than you would think and people can make a decent amount from it in most fields. It's purely a numbers game and timing.

    This is new term for me, how can one buy clicks from Google and sell on Yahoo? i dont think it is legally possible. As a web page author, I can see who pays higher, google or yahoo, and include only those ads.

    Its not as big business as it was perhaps a year ago. Don't build landing pages to sell clicks back to google. They don't like this and you could lose your account. It is best to use second tier ppc traffic which you can get dirt cheap and then send it to your landing pages with google adsense.

    Would it be possible to maybe buy a bunch of clicks from adbrite on say, flip flops, then organise the content around some expensive designer shoe, and put up Google Adsense on there. I think the CTR would have to be quite high though.

    You're not literally selling the clicks.
    You buy cheap keywords on a PPC programme, place ads from either the same or another programme on your site and hope to make more money from people clicking on ads than you've paid.
    I say 'hope' because more people lose money than make any from it - you have to know what you're doing, know how to lever the difference in cost, and how to design a site and place ads to get clicks. AND ensure that your site doesn't look like a Made For Adsense site, because if it does, google will first try and price you out of doing arbitrage, and then may close your account.
    It's not something to go into if you don't know a lot about adwords, adsense, google policy and have money to experiment with. NOT for beginners.

    ppc arbitrage is very risky. You have to make sure you are not overspending every time. You may eventually end up being in no profit no loss stage or in worst scenario ended up in loss..It is really not recommended for beginners..

    Alex Goad did a very interesting and thorough eBook on this topic... Search Google for "GooglePayLoad" and his site will come up. I own this book and it is worth a read in my opinion. He also did a delux video version as well.

    He outlines in detail how to go about finding second tier search engines for cheap traffic sources. And at the same time finding other search engines to buy the traffic from you for a higher price...He even gives advice on different types of landing pages and the conversions you can expect from them.

    I have yet to try this method, but it seems like something that I could really make work. Especially with all the great keyword tools available nowadays. Think I might it give it a go after my exams in June..will let you guys know how I get on.

    Yup and I lost my Google account, it's against TOS, you can buy actual visitors pretty cheap these days and send them to a MFA page ... it's easy to make a profit and pretty easy to get banned.

    It's a big risk ... if you get banned from Adsense you loose current earnings and amount spent on advertising ...

    So therefor I am not telling you how to do it ...

    Junk traffic, quality traffic, MFA, natural traffic ... take your pick. Arbitrage breaks many rules, it's impossible to pin point exact violations ... Google as always is very broad in reasons for banning members.

    Hi

    Here is a real example involving Adwords and Adsense:

    Yesterday I had 10 Adwords clicks (8 keywords) to one of my websites (cost $0.58), and in Adsense I got 4 clicks (gain $1.27) with 18 impressions (CTR of 22.22%).

    Multiply by 100 (clicks/keywords/websites) and you get $2000 per month...
