Hello,

I got started with arbi about 2 weeks ago, and have since then used primarily MSN adcenter and Yahoo search marketing to direct PPC traffic to my sites. At first, I received a decent volume of traffic and made a small profit. However, following that, Yahoo and MSN started deleting my keywords, and my traffic (and profit) has dwindled to only a few clicks a day.

Anyone know a way around this? Do I just need to start incorporating more content into my pages?

How much content do you have?

Also, use adwords content network, keyword and site targed traffic. Sorry I don't have any tips for yahoo or msn. Maybe someone else can help with that.
 
You haven't given enough info for anyone to make an educated guess.

How much content on your arbi pages? Do you link out?
 
In each page I have approximately 180 to 200 words of keyword-rich original content.

In terms of linking out, I do not link out at all, every link on the page brings the user back to the arbi page.

Should I change this?
 
I don't use MSN very much and haven't touched Yahoo since it was still Overture so I can't help you much there. 7Search has not been much use for me either.

For Google.
Try the Adwords content network for cheap clicks. Another benefit of using Google over the other two is the offline Adwords editor. It's free. You will be able to post campaigns and adgroups much quicker with that app. As far as I know MSN and Yahoo does not have a similar offline tool.
AdWords Editor

I wouldn't be too afraid of linking out. Just put a single relevant authority link in the footer. Style it with css to make it not too obvious, small text, blended colors but not hidden, no underline etc. If it is a niche with loads of related keyword niches put links to those other arbi pages in the footer too so it looks like a mini niche site. Just don't make it obvious and add privacy, contact links while you're at it. Fully TOS compliant and helps your quality score.

Wish you success.

Thanks, great post. :) +rep

One quick question - what exactly is an authority link?
