Taboola as a Traffic Generation Source?

^^This^^

I have a good course I grabbed a while back from a marketer who is crushing it with PPC arbitrage.

In summary, you set up an article (list articles where you have to click an arrow to move from one part of the list to the next work best), and on each page of the "list" you have ads that pay more per click than the ad that the visitor originally clicked to get there.

OK, I know that sounds a bit confusing, but the general idea is to get a visitor to your site through a Taboola ad where it only costs you a few cents per click.

Then, once the visitor lands on your list article (some people call them "chained" or "connected" articles because they are actually spread out among many pages), the hope is that they will click on ads on your site that pay considerably more per click than what it cost you to get them there.

This works ONLY if you have a good piece of content and your ad itself is very compelling, meaning that it's got some very good "clickbait" quality. Some of the Taboola ads I've seen are almost impossible NOT to click on! For example, one that works really well and almost always gets me to click is the one that says "You Won't Believe What These Once GORGEOUS Celebs Look Like NOW!

So you click the ad, it costs the advertiser 2 or 3 cents, and you land on their piece of content, which is a "chained" article that is maybe 10 or 20 different pages. On every page, there are ads that will pay the site owner considerably more than 2 or 3 cents.

Let's say I go to the site and ending up clicking on 3 ads throughout the 10 pages of the article and the site owner ends up making $2 off of my clicks. Well, it cost the site owner 3 cents to get me there, and then he/she made $2 off of the ads I clicked. That's $1.97 profit in the site owner's pocket from just one visitor.

Let's say that the site owner can do that 50 times a day for that one article. That's almost $100 profit on that day from just that ONE ad.

If the site owner scales up and has 10 or 20 of these ads going, well, you do the math...

If done right, this can be EXTREMELY profitable.

However, it costs some money to get going. Many ad servers require considerable deposits to get started.

Then there's testing, testing, and more testing.

You can easily go in the red several thousand dollars before you start to make any money.

It's the same old story folks. It takes money to make money. BUT, if you can "crack the code," so to speak, you can do really well.

This is one of things (out of many), that I've been meaning to try out. However, I can barely find enough time to run my current level of business, so I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I wish I could clone myself like in that Michael Keaton movie from the 90s... I think it was called "Multiplicity." Yeah, that's what I need!
