I feel like I'm wearing 3 hats, the wool is being pulled over my eyes on at least 3 different levels! I've already decided that PPC CPA is not for me, I'd rather spend the time and money and effort required to test 160+ campaigns building niche blogs to generate free SEO traffic and run CPA ads on them, any thoughts? |

500 questions in a week is actually pretty low. I answer over 125 per day from my members via private messages and email, (and my forum has over 52,000 posts full of info that they can search through too). I'm not sure why they can't handle their volume as it's not that high and there's more then one of them.

Thanks so much for mentioning this, digabot! I was thinking along the same lines last night and though my math was a bit different, the point is the same. Arbitrage Conspiracy is not a $2000 course – it's a $3,500 course (or $5000, or whatever)! The total cost is dependent upon how much you spend on your testing, but the point is profound. How many of us really understood this before we pulled the trigger? Not too many, I expect, and how could we? We didn't truly comprehend the financial impact of the course methodology. We can argue about who's "fault" this is, but it's a not insignificant "hidden cost" in the course and a significant oversight not to make that clear to would-be buyers, early adopters and noobs who know absolutely nothing about the subject. I mean, every one of us knows that we're going to have to spend money on a new endeavor. It's business, after all. And certainly, a 2K course "separates the men from the boys," so to speak. But a lot of people who paid for this course scraped every last dime together to do so. Now they're confronted with a reality that they're going to have to spend the same amount again – if not a heck of a lot more – to meet the bare minimum standard for a refund, much less find success. I think disclosure of this salient fact was yet another oversight brought about by the pell-mell rush to get this product out, but it's a very, very significant one. We were lead to believe that because of the "miraculous" info in this "super-duper" course that we could bypass all the difficulties Aymen and Emmanuel went through. That it would be a short-cut to success in CPA, where we would benefit from their years of hard won knowledge. Nothing specific was said (I don't think), but the intimation was that you could get into CPA for a few bucks (relatively speaking). Nobody so much as implied that it would cost you thousands and thousands on top of the course itself to be successful! Combined with all the other miscues, half-measures, screw-ups, blown deadlines and more, I consider this yet another profound and material "oversight" in a program that I once had very high hopes for. ![]() Also, on the subject of the bonuses... it occurs to me that the reason they haven't delivered on them is rather more "sinister" than stated. Aymen has said it's because he doesn't want to distract people from the focus on the course, and the bonuses will come along later. This may well be the true reason and fair enough if so. But on the other hand, as more and more people pull the rip cord and demand a refund, I would think their "ancillary costs" (like bonuses) go down, too. A further way to cut corners and costs? Besides, based on what I've seen so far, I'm not holding my breath for the bonuses at all. The ones in the back office to this point are, IMHO, flat-out lame. And though I didn't make the cut for the "quality time with Guru Aymen" bonuses (snif), at this point I really don't care at all... I'm going to mull it over today, but based on all that I've seen so far, heard and learned here... I think I'm bailing out too. Too bad. Done properly, this could have been a killer course and a killer experience. But it's very clear to me now there are better teachers on this subject available, better materials (in many cases available for free) and less expensive ways to get there from here. I do agree with the notion that the true "golden nuggets" of the course may be the advanced business expansion and management materials (e.g. "scaling"). But, to my mind, this begs the question. If the material in the course, as presented, won't allow you succeed, the scaling and advanced course materials don't mean anything to you! Not to put it too strongly, but IMHO, if you can't succeed wildly in a course following the course to the letter, then the problem is not the person taking the course. Stated another way, if the only way I can "succeed" with The Arbitrage Conspiracy is to significantly deviate from what is being taught, it is by definition a bad course. This reminds me of the sleazy real estate guru courses where they repackage a bunch of worn-out and lame info and call it "revolutionary." Sorry if that offends anyone, but that's the way I see it at this point. In closing, I want to thank each and every person here in the forum – pro, con or otherwise – for participating in this discussion. It's helped me A LOT! ![]() Best of luck to you all! | |

Not that it matters at this point for me (as I think I'm done with AC), but they've yet to specifically address ANY of the questions I've sent in, either. Do you think I'm surprised? :confused: | |

Mann, Kenwarrior, Sarah....we all seem to have seen the light. I don't know about you guys but I am feeling a bit scammed by the big hype from some of the biggest names in the biz. Funny they all seem to be pretty quiet???no? It occurred to me on Monday that it could be a pretty good scam...2500 people paying 2k. Mostly through affiliates - ok, so 1k x 2500.....send out week 1 and week 2 videos, a "confidential report", get all the "gurus" on board. Voila...skip town with 2.5 mil. Pretty good one if you ask me. They still haven't issued my refund after 3 days (it supposedly has been accepted) and they locked me out immediately! Has anyone actually received their refund???? I'm moving on....Niche Blueprint looks pretty damn good to me. |

Hey digabot.... no I am not promoting NB! - but they seem really committed and their support is awesome. I am exploring several options having signed up for several CPA networks, set up my own sites for affiliate products and will complete the NB course and see what direction it takes me. All up - 3 roads and a lot of work and at the end of the day one (or maybe more!) will get me where I want to be. thanks. |

By following their instructions during the first week - throwing a huge list of keywords into one ad group and linking directly to the offer page, my CPCs were through the roof and I could get almost no impressions, and zero clicks - it was hopeless. Now I'm getting impressions and clicks by spending a lot of time researching keywords, creating lots of very targeted ad groups, and registering unique domains... but none of them are remotely close to breaking even yet - from this point, it's still looking hopeless, although I'm not giving up yet. I spent literally over 10 hours today setting up 5 campaigns. I'm sure glad I don't have a regular 9-5 job at the moment - if I did this would be impossible. Is someone going to start a separate forum for this or what? This thread is getting out of control! |

The forum access was part of a package for the program. I put it on because I felt it is needed for this type of program. My first and foremost energy is devoted to paying members. I'll consider opening it for a subscription fee if the current members accept this. Regards James | |

James, are aware of the possibility that once these guys get some more experience with teaching, illustration, customer service and support, if they'll offer a digital course? and Will you offer that course through your aff. link with the same support? Thanks |

I have a feeling this is a once off. There has been no mention of the possibility for another course. (My support forum is going to be far broader than just CPA so that will remain open and will support other launches) | |

1) Either learn it so you can start your own cpa...$2.65 to $20-$30 ..., you take the risk, they profit BIG time from your proven campaigns WITHOUT risk. They only pay if you succeed, if you fail, no skin off their nose, no money or risk out their pocket. 2) Be the trailblazer, open your own cpa , offer affiliates a scale to performance, something fair....so many winning campaigns/conversions= 33%, 50%, and 75% to Mega-Super Cpa affiliates. Maybe wishful thinking or novice dreams of grandeur, but whats wrong with attempting to add fairness and appreciation to people making you money in the equation? Partners instead of business grinding,sweat-shop effort, masked as entreprenurial opportunity and benefit? Like RichDad said, some business people trade in their job for a job masked as a business, like the old standard brick and mortar , for example. Guess it simply depends on your knowledge and growth.....business may START like this, but should not continue in this vain, should get easier, simplier, rewarding you with far more time for life and less in the office.

So, what, everyone they taught it to was a genius and batted a thousand right from class-day-one? Or did they teach it to two people and figure that was a good enough sample to mass teach it to everyone with those (two) students results? Or was they in a rush to make so much money , the art of teaching got lost? Or is it a bad course, or course that is really NOT that simple as they made it out to be? The future lessons and their comments from purchasers may give more light. Makes one re-evaluate this whole cpa thing....think I am going to start with folks like Jerry West, very sobering , real life, hype free stuff, no fluff and promises. Day in, Day out , realities of the business as it relates to regular joes tryin to learn or get a fair handle on this endeavor. The 13 th Warrior | |

Would be a shame if there was some merits in the course, but it was either poorly taught and/or poorly communicated of what it really took to get to that level, or if it is really attainable. Just because one can DO, DOES NOT mean one can teach, or should teach. I seen pro's in certain trades that simply could NOT communicate the how or what of what they do. Ego should be put aside, and they should have probably found a good student who has an extremely talented gift for teaching, and make him the spokesman/teacher. Maybe someone like James , here, I don't know. Make no mistake about it, teaching IS a gift. All the phD's and doctorates in teaching don't make you a teacher. I almost washed out of a class and almost concluded I could'nt cut it in a trade....the 3 or 4 teachers, good and experienced, was very good at telling war stories and combat application...but mostly none could teach a beginner. So I had two new instructors to evaluate me to finally see what the bad reports were about and to make a final decision. I learned more from those two guys in 1/4 day than I learned from 3 to 4 different instructors, each who specialized in a particular skill, in 3 weeks. I was also in school, and seen how some of these "teachers" are, so I have no sympathy for bad teachers, for at the minimum, they don't even consider that they are bad teachers, teachers at the wrong teaching level or even if they are not cut out to teach at all. Either be expert consultants or teach GIFTED teachers of their knowledge, expertise and experience. May they drown in their Ego and self-importance over the humble student. The 13 th Warrior |

How splendidly ironic. The AC Boys have never once responded to a single email, but they certainly wasted no time shutting down my access to the site. And this on the day of their weekly webinar! Wow, how do they find the time? I have not received an email confirmation yet (no surprise there), but given that they have shut me out I can only assume this constitutes positive acknowledgment of my refund request. Hopefully I will receive the refund no problem, as with the case of elliec above, and I will post if I do not. I feel sad and a tad ambivalent about this, as I had had very high hopes for the course, despite all the negative pre-launch anti-hoopla. I'm very disappointed (in myself, if not in the course) because I gave it the ol' college try and couldn't make it work. If it had simply been a matter of sticking to it, I would have continued. But given all the feedback from those who know far more than I about PPC/CPA and the many glaring (and often quite bizarre) shortcomings of the course, I see no other recourse but to bail while I still can. James Schramko and others have said that the shortcomings of AC can be overcome, and I know James is working closely with his people to do that (and more power to him). But again, this begs the entire question. I've said it before and I'll say it again... If I can't succeed by following the course to the letter, the problem isn't me – it's the course. I sincerely hope all those folks who are still "in" Arbitrage Conspiracy get their money's worth. Perhaps they will all become "instant Millionaires" and the semi-mythical "overnight success stories" we all hear so much about. Perhaps there really are amazing secrets in later weeks of the course. But based on what I have seen and experienced so far with AC, and all the people I've talked with and who have been kind enough to respond to my posts, I think this is highly unlikely... Time to move on. Back to the drawing board. Best of luck to everybody. Peace out. ![]() |

It almost makes me think they have a reason for being so callous and unapproachable. Obviously, if they shut your site access down right away; they do have people working behind the scenes on the day-to-day stuff. Maybe they're trying to weed people out because more people ended up signing on than they ever anticipated? Maybe so, but you think that onslaught of "get in before the doors close" would have slowed as their members kept piling on. I have unanswered questions in their queue as well (thank God I have James), so that pain is not acutely felt by me. But, to their defense, my questions were ones that probably will get answered in future lessons. They did stress that they are only trying to deal with the questions as they pertain to the course material thus far. | |

I've been developing a relationship with a new Affiliate Manager at one of the larger networks over the past two weeks, we've been talking quite often and I've surprisingly been getting some decent info out of him. We were discussing this thread and we got on the topic of this thread and he knew about AC and Aymen, and he started telling me that "iframing/direct linking" are a sure fire way to fail at making anything happen. He told me that anyone doing serious numbers is not doing any of that and it nearly all comes down to having unique pages made for the offers. Now I'd imagine the bigger buys are cloaking traffic and for all I know the AM could just be spewing off stuff he's read too, but just thought I'd share. |

When they put in their "copy", " $50,000 to $100,000 {A DAY} was this: 1) Their personal experience and achievement... 2) Their personal best ONCE, a FEW times or average..... 3) Trial students they taught achieved this.... 4) Trial students achieved this ONCE as a personal best, a FEW times, or trial students average... So WHO are they talking about that achieved this, from teacher to student? They alluded that THIS course has done it AND, CAN do it for purchaser. Like people using in their copy that a penny, doubled everyday, at a certain point, will add up to a million dollars, alluding their course will get you on the wave of this principle, and yes, mathematically its true, if you are measuring SOLEY on projection, 1st, how many people, including expounder of this has done it literally, and, 2nd, how many mathmaticians, scientist and engineers can attest that something, worked out a thousand times perfectly and mathematically on paper and projections, but FAILED and does not work in the real world when applied. Or like when they say the average worker in U.S. earns a Million dollars in their lifetime....so, what, I should live in a forrest and pay no bills and wait till I saved all my money in 25-30 yrs, retire a millionaire? These pseudo-math projections are used in copy sounds good and is nice to look at but used and applied impractically in day in, day out , realities of the real world. Not saying there are no solutions, but I notice the people who throw these out there usually have no practical , application solution ...like Suzan Orman, yikes, I read enough about financial independence to know she is a joke. Jesus Christ, her advice is FAR from financial independence, sorry, Suze, you are not even gum on RichDads dirty soles and even HE has his limits on practical advice, though its much better than the average "mainstream" financial advice... Reminds me of the kind of copy when guys stand in front of Rolls Royce and Porches, stand in front of a 3 story Mansion, or Olympic size pool,.....radar says "stay clear---slime factor in progress.........." I was talking to a GrandMaster one time, and he told me a lot of these martial arts schools are run by people who "bought" their black belt so they could make money, borrow something from this and that, not truely knowing what the techinque is or what it means and why...just to make their school more attractive.....he said these guys are gonna get people seriously hurt in the street....like some of these financial freedom teachers are gonna seriously hurt someones pocketbook.

However, people do iFrame but you only want to be doing it for 48 hours or less to test fast. Sure you hear of campaigns that "have been running for months with iframes" but that is way more the exception. High QS sites are where it's at now. That means, yes, if you want to use Google's traffic, you will have to eventually make full blown 30-50 page sites. Test fast, if you get something with potential, build a site. And then endlessly split test everything to get the most out of it. Too many people think there's easy bucks in CPA. There's bucks to be sure but it is NOT an easy way to make money when you're starting out. That's why not quitting is stressed so much. Aymen is talking about $500 to get started....more like 10x that. You will lose a few grand finding winners. | |

There's easier ways of getting traffic, I just bought a special 29 page report for $7 that is full of great ideas to generate free traffic, lets see 2000/7= approx 285, I think I'd rather burn through my AC $2000 fee one $7 report at a time

The bigger traffic deals bring special deals. Big affiliates get given a site to work by themselves. This eliminates all the problems we are hearing about. You only get big on traffic after you master the process of picking offers, writing ads, tracking and testing. As with most things it gets easier the more you do it. Also it gets easier when you break through the crowd and start enjoying the benefits associated with performance and results. In other words, after the crawling over broken glass phase it gets a whole lot easier. Just like steering a car on the freeway versus the car park....less effort big results. | |

About 20% of the folks I am studying with are doing well with arbitrage conspiracy, and the rest are catching up on the stuff they need to know. It's not mind blowing profits just yet, but all of us are waiting for week 3 training, since that is one of the keys to massive success with ppc. |

We have a few people getting some real learning miles under the belt and a clearer view of how this works. I suspect the next few weeks will be of great value to the majority of students. | |

Looks like I should have bought your double digit ctr product for $39.95 rather than spend $2K on AC!

I personally can't wait to get to the content of building our own sites to promote our campaigns. Since obviously the direct linking/iframing is not ideal by any means - I want to really get into the meat of the stuff. I've built a few sites through GoDaddy's web site builder and Blue Voda, etc., I just don't know what the sites are supposed to look like, or how it all works with someone else's product. I've got 9 campaigns up and running so far and they are doing "o.k." Some days I see a small profit, some days a see a small loss, and my budgets are set pretty low while I'm learning all of this. I have done PPC for over a year now for my MLM biz and my MLM training biz and have done well with it, so I know the basics already. I hope there is some good content on today's webinar as well. I for one am sticking this out. I'm still as excited today about this as I was the day I signed up. My ultimate goal is $1,000 per day and then I can quit this JOB!! Rae |

Among them: -Review pages -"How I Did It" Blog style landing pages (like this: http://www.marysweightlossblog.com/i-lost-37-lbs/) Complete with fake comments. These are super popular right now. -Bridge Pages that look very similar to offer pages - some think these are dead but they work if you have a solid site around them. -Bridge/Squeeze | |

Now - would you do sites like this for the simple e-mail/zip submits at all, or just the "bigger" campaigns? | |

I know people who sent over $20k to a zip and then when it was time to get paid, the advertiser said they weren't going to because the traffic didn't convert for them - after letting that traffic run for a full 30 freaking days. Network did absolutely nothing despite the obvious douchebaggery. | |

I KNOW YOU ALL CAN SEE YANIK'S "UNDERGROUND EVENT" LINK when Logging into this forum. But BOY was I floored when I realized our MR. X might be our man Aymen himself?? I sure hope he teaches us the facebook techniques too....in Arbitrage. I still feel good about this, and am hopeful the GOLD is in the mountain, not at the surface. Here's the excerpt from This year, we’ve "Mr. X" is a huge player on the social media scene and the CPA networks. We’re talking like $100,000.00 a day huge. Mr. X. plays in a very large sandbox... and he’s gotten the blueprint for success so well documented... it’s pretty much paint-by-number. Well, it’s actually is "paint by the numbers." Due to the classified nature of Mr. X, here’s a very short list of what he’s bringing. You’ll have to be in your seat at Underground® 5 to get the full story. Sorry. By claiming your seat, you’ll get your chance to learn things like:
I could be wrong......sure sounds like our man though.....waddaya think? |

Thanks elliec. I sent Aymen and the AC a refund request email today. Let's see how long it takes to get the refund.
