PPC Traffic to Adsense Sites?

17 years ago

It's called Adsense Arbitrage. I don't know if it goes against any terms of use, but Google doesn't necessarily condone it.

Hope that helps!

And to answer your other question, I know many used to do it in the past when they could get 1 and 2 cent clicks, but I don't think many people have found it profitable anymore.

Thanks

Good day,

Thanks for your input. I THINK I might have found a place where I can try it. I am aware that it is a risk as I might end up making a loss, but life is all about risk right?

So if it's legal then I might take a shot at it

Thanks

Check out this article that I found online regarding my idea:

'Triple Adsense money Through Paid Traffic' - 'Keyword Country' Article

The problem is that this article was posted on May 29, 2007 and the terms and conditions could of changed?

Any ideas or input anyone? :confused:

Thanks

Don´t do it, Google will ban you. It is called Adsense Arbitrage and I got my account banned a few years ago for doing this. I was making lots of money with this strategy and probably would have been a millionaire by now if Google had allowed it....Oh well.

Not, it isn't "illegal". However Adsense is not a "free market" entitlement. You will lose your account.

  Avoid the adsense arbitrage model. Very few people can make it pay.
  
  There are thousands of great alternative business models that you could try.

  Can you explain how you would lose your account? Brad Callen has an ebook with a guy using the adsense arbitrage model and doing well, VERY well actually.
  
  I don't see how driving traffic to a website will get you banned.
  
  Thanks

I have found that you never get enough clicked, to pay for the clicks. Does that make sense?!

projek001,

With referrerx the traffic is from the website owners you refer, is that correct? I take it you're using this, what results have you had?.....Read the sales page, it does seem interesting.

People do send paid traffic to sites that have Adsense on them, but if Google decides that your website is designed just to get Adsense clicks and doesn't offer enough value, they will ban you. And Google decides what has value and what is made-for-adsense, nobody else. So Google does whatever it wants. And these days Google is out of its mind and out for blood. So don't do it. Big name gurus can get away with it, but little guys like us get smoked.

I remember the story around here of some priest being banned from Adsense and losing the income that was funding his charity. :rolleyes:

I still don't get how you can be banned for sending paid traffic to a page with adsense ads if you have quality content and follow google's other rules.

Maybe I'm naive or something.

You will have to track every penny you spend and compare that to the average return on AdSense. The problem is the click rate. Our sites averaged 8% - 15% ad clicks. So for every 100 visitors that were paid for, 8 - 15 would click an ad. The traffic has to be dirt cheap and AdSense revenue pretty high to overcome the spread due to click rate.

Another problem is the so-called "smart pricing" model at Google. As traffic increases on a page without a corresponding increase in ROI for the advertiser, Google will lower the per-click payout for your entire site.

Not sure about getting banned. We only ran the tests for a few months to see if there was any realistic long term profit potential. I do know (from reading reports and talking to others) that Google does not like the practice.

You were doing it somewhat legitimitely, but the reason Google originally got so pissed off with Arbitrage is that people were bidding on the cheapest keywords they could find, and sending the traffic to pages full of highpaying ads on an unrelated topic, like medical/legal/financial stuff. And people would just click those ads without reading them, thinking they were content because there was nothing else above the fold. So people were clicking on search ads for socks and then ending up on some mesothelioma site and being confused.

Technically you're correct, but Google does whatever the hell it wants and it has a lot of rules that it usually doesn't make public, but they'll ban you for them anyway. Somebody on another forum got info that Google has very exact rules about how much of the screen above the fold can be filled by ads before it's considered arbitrge, but Google never makes that public. They let you unknowingly screw up and then they ban you with no recourse. Google is not a company you can phone up and be reasonable with. They do not care.

Google hate that and will likely ban your butt for good.

If you're going to do arbitrage in that way then don't do it in Google.

I think this is a very stupid idea in making money. This model will only make you lose money.

In the first place, Adsense is good if you have a huge list, or you get free traffic daily like more than 500 visitors. Then this is a good money making model.

Adwords PPC is basically higher price than you getting paid via Adsense.

stick to the basics like backlinking to your site forget the paid traffic adsense abridige i just had my hubpage which was on page one put in the sandbox because i purchased traffic hits (10,000 to be exact for 9 dollars) however since i got into backlinking my new site has beaten 44 million over sites and the adsense has taken off, i clicked in today and made 0.98 cents and a good crm also just for 35 clicks a day.
