What is wrong with the so called "arbitrage"? $4,000/month denied
- SEO |
I thought it was a win/win/win situation because users got what they were looking for, I showed that to Google using some stats (bounce rate, pages/visit) that they for sure knew already and other stats (from AddThis) that maybe they didn't know. I made a good profit and Google made a lot more than me from my AdWords budget and the share they take from AdSense.
First question: Is that "arbitrage" rule something else than picking favorites and shutting down whoever they decide for whatever reason they decide?
It's been two months and I haven't been able to find something to replace AdWords as with them I was paying an average 0.03 CPC and got thousands of visitors daily.
Second question: What would you do or where would you go to buy targeted traffic again at a cost that could yield a positive ROI. Is there anything wrong with that?
Third question: Do other CPC networks also have such "arbitrage" rules in place?
PS: I didn't get any notification from AdSense, but because I use them in other web properties I have and I didn't want to get in trouble with them I replaced them on this site by ads from other network.
