You knew this for months and didn't tell anyone?! Wow, you're a real stand up guy. I think MAYBE what you knew was what you read in an e-book about G increasing bid prices for low QS but really couldn't put 2 and 2 together.
They want MORE than quality content or for it not to be so obvious. Not obvious is providing a WHOLE LOT MORE value than what is expected. There are people who were raking in anywhere between $10K - $70K+ per month with arbi who are scrambling to get something else set up before the end of the month. Do you believe none of them had quality content on their sites?
Oh, wait a minute... let me search back in my memory... a couple days ago I saw one of your posts where you earned $4.51. Yeah, you're a BIG player. My bad!
If it were merely about providing quality content, they wouldn't have sent out so many letters telling people their accounts were being closed with no opportunity to change anything... they're done, fini, finito, end of story, no "do-over."
If you're doing arbitrage with adwords and have adsense ads on your site, unless you're site is a top shelf authority site (which I highly doubt, based on blastyourass.com) or you have VERY useful content and a LOT of it, you would have gotten the same letter. Now maybe, if you have a very tiny CTR on adwords and a very tiny CTR on your adsense ads, you MIGHT slip under the radar.
Google had to do this because legit advertisers are abandoning ship at an alarming rate. I'm sure they didn't WANT to do it because they were making more off arbi than all of us put together, but they have to do it to preserve their advertising network. Soon, no legit advertisers would use it if they didn't do something.
Goog is a public company now. Things are different now because they have an obligation to make profits. It's a responsibility to their stock holders they cannot ignore. If the ad revenue drops, their stock value goes down with it.
Reading this makes me dizzy because it just goes around in about three circles. Don't arbi... arbi... write content... promote affilite offers... :hollering: GEE-ZUS-KEY-RISTE! Make up your fuggin mind!
In the course of the past couple hours, in addition to reading and posting here, drinking beer, taking piss breaks and such, I've written 3 (count them... 3!) completely NEW and UNIQUE articles for a new site I have planned. It takes you 3 DAYS to pump out crap like is on your blog? Spend more time there and less here. See if you can get that adsense revenue up to an even $5 per day.
If you have any travel sites and they're nothing but adsense ads, a few aff. offers and some lame-assed content about sunshine and sand and you're sending traffic to them via adwords, you ARE on the "hit list" my friend. At this moment you just happen to be like the chicken that hasn't yet realized its head has been cut off.
Why don't you do a little introspective thinking before posting much more or you're likely to get your parole violated for aggravated stupidity.
