juniodude, I am going to waite a couple of days for those answers. The reason is I want some history in my data first so I can see any anomolies. I think wed. or thursday. I will tell you though that with what I am seeing I would give the tracking software a 7.5 or 8 out of 10 overall and using it is not difficult. I am liking searchfeed for targeted traffic in the usa with YPN. I am seeing good results, more clicks but fewer click throughs. the cost per keyword is less though and I think some of it is fraud so I will ask for a 10% refund every 30 days. I don't think with what I am gearing up to spend they will have a problem with that.
we are going to do a arbi test!

I will also say this. the aff program that I have had so much success with in 7search I started in google, yahoo, msn, searchfeed, miva, and textlink ads. I have already shut down the searchfeed and miva, spent $50 on both with 1 convesion total between the 2. Google has given me 20 clicks and 3 conversions and is doing the best. Yahoo has 6 clicks with 1 conversion. Msn is about the same as yahoo, texlink has another week to run but was so cheap i could not pass. 11 clicks no conversions.
GeorgeB - I am not telling. that is not my job. you want something for free. what you are asking is could you narrow down were I look so I can try and copy you and get in on that action. Sorry, not in this lifetime. Is this why you are defending lee so much? you also do not have an original idea of your own?
lol - not only is the Lee thread the biggest and most viewed, it's now leaking onto other areas of WF.:spawn: It's gonna take over soon......
By the way Chris, I must thank you for this arbi test thread of yours. It made me get off my arse, then get back on it again to actually put your plan into action.
Result? This morning I put up three arbi pages. At this moment I have spent $2.30 on 7search and made $9.88 on Adsense! Not bad for my first attempt.
Now i'm off to create, create, create.
Cheers buddy.

Gooner, i only want 85% of your earning for the first 30 days then I will take 50% for the rest of your life plus 6 years! jj - good job on your sites. I created this to help people so if you would like to share what you have learned and any specifics please do! rock on!
I'll buy you a beer when i'm next passing by!!
Basically, I used a similar format to your site. A single page, header using the keyword, adsense 300x250 on the left with 2 pictures and a basic text on the right. I also repeated the keywords several times within the text.
On 7search I used their keyword generating tool, using around 300 keywords on each site. I bid 6c on each keyword. The ads I generated have a little humour in the title, so they hopefully stand out a little from the crowd.
And that's it! There's no magic involved! Just get your fingers out of your ass and get creating people!!
Saadh, I turn it off when I go to bed because I am not online and I want to be able to check traffic. I can monitor click fraud but I have found it is not as bad as I thought.
Chrislingle,
I am a n00b here and to affiliate marketing so please dont mind my question - What about the CTR?
Let me elaborate on this.
I have 2 sites I made to try this out:
One is for 'Cash Advance loans' and the other is for 'Educational Toys'
Even if I pick up long tail keywords at 6 - 7 cents and get 20 + cents on my Adsense clicks, the click through rate (CTR) spoils the party. For example, if I spend say $60 to get 1000 visitors (@0.06/click) to my site out of which only 200 visitors will click on ads netting me $40 (@0.20/click), I have in effect lost $20.
If you want I can give you the URL's to my sites to check them out.

I know these points may be obvious but two things spring to mind. You might want to try to achieve a bigger gap between what you're paying out and what you're getting paid for clicks. I know people around here often talk about >$1 per incoming click. Some niches will pay out, others won't.
As for the CTR - even though 20% doesn't sound bad, you can improve on this.
Make sure there is no leakage on your sites (i.e. people leaving by ways that don't pay you - free links etc). Make the site boring OR orientated around the ads - *anything* to get them to click.
Upon saying all that - I'll probably get corrected in a minute. I'm a n00b too

Yeah, go to the "sites" tab and then you will see a drop down menu next to all of your sites listed. Then hit "go offline".
Do you do this on all your other arbitrage sites as well or only on this test one?
That is becoming a pain in the ass with the more sites I make. I'm going to run it overnight for a couple days and see what happens.
Yup that's a 20% ctr and on an arbitrage site that's not perfect. Try not to have any leaks, (links that you dont get paid for).
