Is greywolf's formula for finding a profitable niche relevant when your using 3rd tier ppc providers? it seems like you would want a smaller bid gap and as many high paying adwords as possible if you can get <.10 clicks on 7search or searchfeed. That or I dont understand the reasoning for the bid gap.
Thanks, Derek.
 


Standard Deviation isn't worth the effort when doing arbitrage.

I know a lot of people on here won't pay more than .06 for a click on a 3rd tier ppc but my highest ROI is on a site where I'm paying .10-.15 a click.

It's all about testing - templates, keywords and once you hit the sweet spot you leave it and go on to the next.
 
Yea, the math truly is only good once you're up and running / testing. Then start data mining and analyzing that data, but as far as predicting, it's like the stock market. If you could accurately do it 99% of the time, you'd be rich :)
 
SD simplified

SD may be too much work, but at least there is Standard Deviation built-in in M$ Excel that simplifies this.

Just use the STDEV formula from the "Insert function" menu selection.

Create a spreadsheet, paste in all your bid findings, and let Excel tell you the SD right away.

Still some work, but hey - it beats using the calculator by hand :)
