I only just started doing ppc arbitrage on Friday (9/22) and I'm making 2:1 on my sites. Now I have to go for volume. What are some good ways to do this? I hear about people launching 50-100 arbitrage sites at a time and I get curious. Is it all manual work or is there a faster way?

Thanks!
 


You could copy paste from wikipedia, get private label articles etc. It could possibly affect your quality level(but this is only if you advertise with adwords right?) due to duplicate content, you will be smartpriced and get a lower ppc.

You could always pay content writers to write articles for you.
 
I don't write any of my own articles. It's way easier to just copy and paste like you said.
 
Original content doesn't matter in arbitrage. You can throw out all the SEO rules for your arbitrage site since you're paying for all your visits and you don't depend on search engines at all. Take advantage of content that is readily available. Also, find one layout that WORKS and just stick with it.

So you are saying you wont get smartpriced due to duplicate/bad content?
 
I don't think adsense looks at your content like that. I think the only reason you get smartpriced is for shitty traffic that doesn't convert well for the advertisers.

How many domains do you guys use when you are putting out, say 50 sites? Does the domain name really matter or do you just put them under a subdomain or directory of a generic domain?

Thanks

That's a really good question. So far I have just been buying separate domains, but I may try a single generic domain and put a few subpages on it. Also, if you have tons of domains, you might want to look into virtual dedicated servers or dedicated servers. That way, you only have to buy the domains and can host them on a single server without buying extra hosting for each domain.
 
If you can code, write yourself a set of scripts that you can configure for different sites.

For example, I have my main file called index.php. It basically contains the barebones html. I then have a config.php file that has everything I need to change from site to site. It has a path variable (I use folders off of a single domain), the image names I use, adsense code, and anything else I might need to configure. My css file is seperate (I'm currently working on a very lightweight template method where I can quickly change themese without rewriting the css file), and the article I want on that site in a .txt file.

All told, it takes me about 2 minutes (tops) to get an entirely new site up and running.

But the trick is to identify the repetative tasks, and make them automatic. Anyplace that you would potentially copy and paste from one site to another, put it in a function and make it configurable. If you can get it so you only have to change code/text in one place, you'll be able to get things moving very quickly.
 
guys, I can tell you from experiene that google looks at the content and will smart price duplicate content! it happened to me 1 time I had over 70 clicks and made less than $10

My hosting plan has unlimited domains, but I would like to avoid the cost of domains, also. I started one site with its own domain, but I think I would actually like to turn it into a legit site at some point in the future. I am putting together a couple more sites and I'm think I am going to go the subdomain aproach. Now I just need to find a nice generic sounding domain name that can cover many different niches. Hmmmm, how 'bout aaainfosource.com?

That's great advice. I was just working on something similar last night. Still have a ways to go on it, but I'm hoping it will evolve into something useful.

That is a great idea. I tried doing something like that when I first started, but I just used includes, so all I had to do was change the content in one file. But it seemed like it made my sites slower, so I just have a template that I just change content on and go. But I only do a few sites a week, so it works for me.
 
Just wanted to post my stats so far today on my arbitrage sites. This is my fourth day doing arbitrage.

Really. Wow, I would never have guessed that. I guess I'll start changin up my articles a little bit.
 
arbi with YPN is risky if you can not control the geo target. if your traffic is from outside the USA you better be carefull or do something else!
