Post your Arbitrage Stats

Im trying really hard to spend more, but the main sticking point for me seems tracking everything. I can't find a way to keep good track of my ROI on hundreds of sites, especially if I'm getting traffic from different places.

Another thing I am noticing is that at first my arbi sites do really well but then their CPC and volume of traffic goes down. Anyone else noticed this? How long is long enough to say the site isn't profitable?

Perhaps it's that score bot of Google...?

Up comes a dead thread.

Thought I would do a little update.

Nov 25% CTR 1.44 ROI
DEC(pending) 43.75% CTR 7.36 ROI

What I've done is just sort through my keywords and toss the ones that aren't in line with my niche. Pretty sad that a lot got through but it was 4am, I didn't give a shit.

Lesson learned: review your keywords.

Oh this is still one page / one niche.
 
you guys spent to little..................

As adsense loser said, if you want to make serious money from arbitrage, spend more.
 
damn, all these less than 50 post wonders coming up with earth shaking news, wow what a great forum we have with all this junk here!

Fuck say someting useful, you think people don't know they have to spend more to make more? you think they are stupid?
 
You can spend $100 and get a better result then spending $250 if you know what you're doing.

But spending more = more gross but not always more profit.
 
The key to arbitrage isn't spending more, it's making more. Can I join the useless post club now? Can I can I?

The tricky part is building enough campaigns in niches with enough traffic that you actually can spend a lot at a price low enough to get a good ROI. The goal of "spending more" is just as obvious as the goal of "making more," so people can really stop pointing that part out...

P.S. As for stats, I'm doing about $40-$70/day profit with 140 niches at the moment. I'm only actually working on arbitrage about half a day a week. Partially that's because of other projects, but I'm also sort of limited in my ability to track page performance by YPN's 100 tracking URLs. I stop tracking a niche when I've got enough performance data to know that it sucks or it's working, then free up the tracking URL for a new niche. That's a pretty slow and inefficient way to do it but it's my best idea at the moment short of tracking niches in named channels which would be a bit of a pain in the ass.

The oracle speaks. Care to divulge some of those precious niches, o mysterious one?
 
daily stats for one of my sites -
spend: $60-80/day
rev: $100-180/day

I get about 5000 uniques a day as well. :/
 
With that traffic volume, is that Adwords?

Actually that's really cheap traffic too, like, what, 1.5 cents a click?!

You should be making a lot more with 5,000 uniques per day.

Yes I'd typically agree, but this niche is something no one else would ever consider doing arbi for. So low competition and low payouts. I wish I'd be getting some more from all those hits, but it's ok - I'm still making avg $80/day on that one site.
