I can write a script that goes into adsense and setup channels. But you can only have around 200 channels max. And I'm talking 10k+ pages. How would you track that?

I know there's stuff like Asrep and AdsenseGold and Analytics which can all track page views and CTR and clicks. But they can't tell you how much you're making per click or how much a page has made. And that's pretty vital considering you're spending money on the traffic to the page. There's no way to know which ones are your winners and which ones are your losers and what's breaking even.

There has to be some way to do this. Any suggestions would be awesome!

Oh and just curious. There was some thread on here a couple months ago that was some guy that wrote this intense stat tracker in php for arbi stuff. I've been looking for it forever and can't seem to find it. All I remember about it was that a couple people gave him some shit about going out and working on arbi instead of making stat thing. Anyone know where that thread is?

I track based on categories, not individual pages.

Do you have the same arbitrage layout throughout the category?


@threadstarter Maybe you could try running category tracking with the same layout to infer about the approx CTR on your other pages?

Yes, I use the same layout throughout the entire site. I wouldn't assume anything about layouts and CTR. Using the same layout, some categories get 100% CTR and others get 20% CTR.
 
I guess that would be the best way as of now. There has to be SOME way you can track everything though...

Anyone else have any experience with this?
 
There's not a better way that I know of and I've been doing this for awhile. How do you plan on tracking millions of keywords if you ever get to that point? The answer is that you don't track all your keywords when you're doing arbitrage. The best you should be doing is by category.
 
confused - it turns out the guys scripts didn't interact with adwords/adcenter/7search and you basically did a config saying you were bidding 15 cents per category or something and it figured out how many visits you had and did the math.
