I don't really understand their logic. Besides the fact that EVERYONE on 7search is doing Arbi(or you're losing money, but not a lot. Considering you're only getting 1-2 clicks a day, hah.)

Are they trying to protect their "integrity"?

The people using 7search as affiliates would be sites that either ARE banned from any reputable PPC or know that how they're getting traffic WOULD get them banned. I'm pretty sure a while ago when google had it's "Bad Data Push" and the person who got "billions" of pages indexed was using Adsense. Got banned. Used 7search.

If you have to use 7search on your site. You don't care as long as you're getting the most money. And seriously...no one uses 7search on PURPOSE.
 


So, my clicks went up, from 0% to 5-10%, which is good I guess (I am at least getting some) but I'm still not even pulling even, so I definitly need to improve on thjat (d'uh). Question I have: Do you use "focused" keywords (ie. new york real estate for a ny real estate site), or are using any somewhat related keyword to send them to your site (ie. real estate, real estate agent, real estate training etc.)? I'm currentl doing the latter, but I do make sure to have the search term inserted, so they see their keyword they used. Is this alright, or would you change that?

test it.
 
Not only did they not validate my account, put it on hold and the lady referred to adsense as adwords, they charged me THIRTEEN times for $25. I have no idea what is going on with them.
 
They(7search) charged my credit card 13 times for the $25 start-up fee, totally $325.

I only put in $25.

They also state they don't charge your credit card until your account is validated.

This lady also makes up some rule about "arbitrage" not being acceptable.

Wrong on so many levels.
 
What are you guys using to estimate a ball park figure of what you can expect per click? I was using the Overture Tool and Adwords with the amount set to $10 or something, but I just found out that it is not close at all. One term for example had a max bid of $2-3 for the top 5 advertisers according to Overture and Google said I would have to pay $6 to get top 3. Well, after about 10 clicks the average is $0.09 .. And this is for all of my keywords, none of them come even close.

Dude, when using the adwords keyword tool don't put the cost estimate as $10. Use $0.50 instead and look for ad position estimates of anything 4-6 and higher. Those are good niches.
 
finally made one of my pages profitable with a good spread. the problem was CTR... after some calculations I needed an average of 30% CTR to break even.

After 3 pages, I managed to bump it up to 70% and now it's down 50%..i need to test more

Break even at 30% CTR = Sucky ROI in arbitrage.
 
Price Drop Question...also wanted to use the boobs icon.

Question for ya. I've been making a few $/day with arbi, but I've noticed the money per click is dropping <$0.20 range for my adsense. Is it just smartpricing or something else and does anyone have any suggestions?
Love this arbi thread btw...I've been following along for while.

How do you stop CPM adds from showing on your Arb pages. I've been getting a few and keep blocking them manually. Is there a way to stop all CPM Adsense adds from showing?
 
Is there a way to get the number of ads that Google currently is showing? I'm trying to copy the font-style/size of the ad, but sometimes the ad will show 3 ads and the size will be 11px, or only 2 and then the ad text is 13px. Any ideas?
 
Login to Adsense. Somewhere in Account details or something it says "allow 'advertise on this site'" disable that.

Are you talking about one ad here? I usually use a leaderboard 728x90 and if there are 2, 3 or 4 ads at a time, the font size is still the same... so there's no problem to match adsense font type and size.
