Jon posted this in another thread, but it seems nobody got around to following the suggestion yet:

We need to make some type of list tallying up the overall amount spent, the overall amount earned, and the net profit of everyone who has learned ppc arbitrage here on WF and maybe the numbers will get more people into it.

Ok, so I'll start, and bare my newbity:

Spent: $155.92
Earned: $500.00
Profit: $344.08

I'll added a few more interesting ones, too:

ROI: 3.2:1
Total visitors bought: 1387
Total ad clicks: 531
CTR: 38%
Average paid for a click: $0.11
Average made for an ad click: $0.94
Started arbitrage: 11/1/06
Number of pages: 50 (many just a couple days old, though)
Traffic source(s): 7Search
Ad network(s): YPN
 


be careful with YPN - unless you are geo-targeting - 7 search does not geotarget and alot of their traffic is international
 
I knew pretty much next to nothing when I jumped in, and really still don't. Your stats absolutely blow mine out of the water. Hopefully some of my new sites start to pick up :)



Spent: $11.04

Wow, Setec, you're doing awesome!

Here are my stats:
Started Nov 10, after reading about it here.
Spent: $160
Income: $277
Profit: $117
# of topics targetted: 16
# of topics dropped: 6
avg cost per click: $.15
avg CTR: 70%

Most of the income ($228) has come from a single topic, which happened to be one of the first ones I tried.

Funny, I've had the same experience. About half my profit per day, on average, comes from the first topic I tried. And there's nothing terribly unique about its numbers in 7Search, the Overture estimator, etc, so the superior performance is kind of a mystery.
 
so the question is how many new niches, pages do you build a day? How long do you think it is going to take to get your total results in 1 day?
 
I've stopped building pages for now because I want to learn affiliate PPC, and I also have to spend some time on some other stuff. It seems like going from ~$30/day to $350/day would take a long time (550 niches) unless I get better at picking them. When I'm concentrating on these sites I build about 10-15/day.

I'm also wondering if I should expand my traffic sources instead of expanding my niches, at least for now. I started a campaign on MSN AdCenter yesterday for my best niche, but so far no traffic.

You should post your stats. Everybody with the big numbers has been silent so far.

Where are you getting your traffic from?


I don't have any exact numbers, but I made about 2.5:1 ROI on $50 of crappy traffic from Searchfeed. :338: But I decided not to continue with them anymore because I don't want their click fraud to result in me being banned from AdSense.
 
Ok don't get jealous guys...

Spent: .99 cents
Income: .78 cents
Profit: -.21 cents

average cost per click: .14
traffic source: 7Search - so much traffic
ad network: AdSense

I will be detailing my methods thoroughly in my new $97 ebook. Pre-orders are welcome.:D

Fuck buying the eBook, I just want to sign up as an affiliate so that I can post sales threads here on WickedFire and make a killing telling people how wonderful it is and that they can't live without it!!

All from 7Search. And yeah, I worry about that with Adsense too...
 
I just started ten days ago, so not much stats:

Spent: $10.15
Earned: $20.40
Profit: $10.25

ROI: 2:1
Total visitors bought: 123
Total ad clicks: 71
CTR: 57%
Average paid for a click: $0.08
Average made for an ad click: $0.28
Number of pages: 5 (started with 1, added 1 new page every other day)
Traffic source(s): 7Search
Ad network(s): Adsense
 
I started ~ two weeks ago

Spent: $5.17
Earned: $7.86
Profit: $2.69

ROI: 1.52:1
Total visitors bought: 114
Total ad clicks: 10
avg CTR: 6%
Average paid for a click: $0.05
Average made for an ad click: $0.74-$0.76
Number of pages: 1
Traffic source(s): 7Search
Ad network(s): Adsense

In the beginning I was getting a ROI of 29:1 I kept toying with it until it dropped to what it is now. I'm playing with a limited budget so I'm just taking my time trying to figure out what works.
 
I started 10 days ago:

Revenue - 396.96
Total cost of PPC - $192.83
Profit - 204.83
Averaging about - $20 a day.
Highest day profit - $48
CPC - .05

Visit my site at the sig for a picture. I'll be posting some arbitrage tactics too.
