More ad blocks.. Use the maximums if you have a lot of content. Change the color of the links if it will let you too. Make it dark grey..
Getting raped in arbitrage

Ok, I'm using much less content. (I was copying from ezinearticles.com, but you have to use the entire article so I'll try wikipedia).
I made all ad text grey sans the links and I made the text the same as the ads:
font: Normal 10px verdana, arial;
line-height: 1.2em;
Others are saying that more ads decrease adsense CPC even though it helps CTR. Is this true?

I unsubscribed from the onsite advertising signup and the 'adverstise on this site' link still appears.
Someone at webmasterworld.com said it takes up to a few days for the link to go away once you uncheck the box.
Yeah, it will take a few days.
Did anyone else notice that the adsense ads displayed are ads for arbitrage? That's freaky... was it a localhost screen capture?
Or are Google mediabots developing psychic powers?
lots of my localhost development shows arbitrage stuff because I have it in a folder /arbitrage/
I'm getting content from wikipedia, but it's a pain in the ass removing all the links by hand.
Lerchmo, I know your page generating script does this, but it doesn't like multiple word input.
For example here's a wikipedia article it can't find:
Test tube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I entered test_tube, test-tube, test tube etc...
I looked at the code, but couldn't find out why it was doing this. Any suggestions?

Yeah, I was looking at that a bit ago, basically tiny ass pages of content like that alot of times dont have the same html that the full articles do and the regular expressions I am using "from YACG" dont account for that.. When we have a resource section I will get that working... but I wouldnt wait up for that. Anyway you can scrape msn rss if your having a hard time finding content, its pretty simple to scrape.
in fact, this is how I do it...............
if your not using my bot class just do file_get_contents()
$str = $bot->get('http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q='.$keyword.'&format=rss');
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($str);
foreach($xml->channel->item as $name=>$value)
{
$title = $value->title;
$description = $value->description;
}

i've had a CTR of 40% over the last month or so w/ a nice header, med. adsense block to the left, a pic under the adsense to draw the users eye, and a 250 word article to the left. I had a nice ROI for what I spent, but nothing like the other guys here - automating is where its at, right now I do everything by hand and it takes me about 10mins/page...I have about 30 pages now and just starting to get enough clicks to figure out which of those are working, which I will bid higher for, etc
I also write my articles, for one of my niches that pays about $1.50/click it really made a difference - and the CTR is over 75%- too bad there's only a few clicks/day!
Too bad my coding sux dick - I pretty much have to outsource any script I use until I find time to learn..

yea the scraper I made does this too. I'm pretty sure lerchmo has got it right. They have a diff url, but I can't figure out what it is.
nah... the people on WF are too lazy... everything they need is here and still can't figure sh*t out.
Well.. only arbitrage frameworks, 10's of working profitable templates and 1000's of posts on how to make money with 3rd tier ppc traffic and adsense.
I would definately not call that "everything"

I'm sure that with some php string manipulation too, the scraped content could be broken up into pieces as well, like:
<H1> (containing keyword)
<first 50 chars of scraped body>
<H2> (containing variation or parts of keyword)
<the next 200 chars of body>
Shitty example, but perhaps you get the idea. Basically what I thought to try is break up the first parts of the content into a couple of paragraphs aligned with the adblock ads (like suggested in this thread).
