Jon said:Absolute minimum suggested budget for PPC arbitrage is $100. If you can't scrape $100 together for this, then you should not be in the game at all. Borrow it from a friend, sell yourself on the corner, pretend you're blind and stand around with a sign and a cup, be creative for god's sake! Remember, regardless of your startup costs, you won't see your income from it for another 30-60 days because of the net 30 crap, so you need to sustain yourself and your campaign for at least 60 days before you get into this.
Alright, so I'll play along. I have $100, what's the most effective use for that $100?Jon said:Absolute minimum suggested budget for PPC arbitrage is $100.

I'm looking to do the same thing and only have $200 to work with, two sites $100 each.mrvolleyball said:So if you only have $100 / $150 to spend on PPC Arbitrage should you limit it so that your max daily amount is something like $5 or should you not bother with limits and just let it go until your money runs out which could be in a matter of days ?
enginez said:Choose merchants/products that you think will work, but the payout is low. So, if the payout is typically going to be roughly $3, you only need to spend $5 to know if it is profitable. Also, make sure it is something that will be bought immediately - not something that's a free trial & might be bought a month from now.
Do not aim for something like web hosting that pays $90 per sale - it might take $200 in ads to get the first sale...
By doing this, you'll quickly see what is/isn't profitable. If you find something that is profitable (most aren't), then go hard and milk it. If you run out of $$, knowing that it makes money should make it easier to find new funds.

I would guess 2-3 pages per niche since that's what he has recommended.mr.b said:I'm betting jon's arbitrage "sites" are simply a 1 page templated script that dynamically pulls relevant content based on the KW (which would be passed in URL) -- that's the way I'm getting ready to launch anyway.
