Arbitrage

After reading this post, I decided to try out what he explained in that post.

I registered for 7search.com and put $25 into that site. I then made a very cheap website, put some ads on it, along with some crappy content. Then on 7search I picked 10 keywords and bid $0.01 all the way to $0.08 per click on the list of keywords. Yesterday was the first day that the site has been up and running. So far I have spent $0.40 and have made $1.75. This is worken pretty damn good so far. I need to play with this site more. On 7search, the only keyword that has gotten clicked so far was the only keyword that I bid $0.08 for. So only 5 people have been to my site, and 3 of them clicked on my ads. This is worken really really good ehh?

What is Arbitrage? Look it up here.

Tookle.com is doing good :)

I cant seem to grasp what this means. Iv’e read all that stuff and so on. Is the point of this to get more traffic just to sell the site? Can we see your “shitty” site?

Well after reading Jons Forum for the past four hours, I know what this is all about. I have a feeling this is going to blow up quick…

I have to agree with P. Google has already been taking steps to deal with these types of arbitrage sites that do not provide quality content that provide for a “poor user experience”

Not sure if I understand your post correct. So the 1.75 is money you made from your “crappy site” with a 7search.com advertiser account with adsense ads, right? If this is right, what do you think is the reason for the quick jump in traffic and money you made from tookle.com?

Nate,
Yes, the 1.75 is what I made from adsense using 7search to get me the traffic. Which costed me $0.40.

What I did with tookle.com is buy a link on a website that sends me about 800 uniques a day. I bought that link for $4 a day. And I make about $6 a day. So I make $2 a day profit with tookle.com. That is the reason for the quick jump :)

I’ve played with arbitrage myself using 7search as well (miva and searchFeed sent a lot more traffic but none of it converted into clicks). This whole idea of using 2nd-3rd tier ppc engines to drive traffic really interested me. On paper it sounds good to build 1k sites each making a $1 a day but in reality it’s very tedious. These engines like 7search hardly get any traffic (you’re lucky to get 10 visitors a day) so it’s about making it up in volume. You’ll have to make at least 1k sites just to make up for it.

Making a 1pg template that has a high CTR is the easy part — finding 1k different niches and spending the time researching niches and testing them is what is a pain.

I think just doing affiliate marketing is easier — there are literally 10k+ different products, lead forms, etc to sell with very high commissions.

I totally agree with you. These sites are harder to keep up an just regular content sites. It all matters how many of these sites you have.

What I am doing is just testing it out. Never hurts. I really do need to test out affiliate marketing. One thing at a time. Thanks for commenting :)

Can you reveal where you get that $4 link?

I love arbitrage. As we all know Google hates people who love arbitrage.

I just might have to give 7Search a try.

Take Care,

Michael
