Thanks mate! I'm feeling your anger
!You're right though, we're in GMT+1 at the moment but it'll be back to GMT soon.
I'll work on the principle of the US being around 4 or 5 hrs behind me and therefore I'll disable early in the morning here and restart my campaigns again at around 2pm, when it's roughly 9am over there.
Wouldn't it be SO much easier if we actually lived there?!
Anyone having trouble with smart pricing with your arbitrage sites? I start getting $1 a click the 1st day. 2nd day it drops to .35 and now I'm at .20. It would seem that all arbitrage sites would get smart priced since the content is crap but I'm probably just screwing something up.
Gotcha, but whats the definition of bad traffic? What does Adsense look for when deciding if your traffic is good or bad? Low ctr, coming from overseas ips, etc? I would think all traffic from 2nd and 3rd tier engines like 7 search would be considered bad traffic but yet from the examples here people are doing very well using them for arbitrage.
Well. If the advertisers report to google that they get low conversions from your arbitrage site you will get smartpriced. I'm still getting close to $1 clicks, I've just been doing it a few days though. But I have only had us and uk traffic.
not likely. as long as you deliver 'targetted traffic' (despite from which search engine), you will do pretty fine.
chris made a nice point previously on how he put his sites 'offline' under off hours, that should filter some 'bad traffic' (non-us-traffic).

I think i have an arbi site about llc's if you think that may help
would'nt mind checkin' it out...whats the link?
I live in Orgeon...what time am I suppose to turn my site off?? when its late in the evening? like around 24:00 to 06:00?
Why do you all think good traffic is only US traffic? :thefinger:
There are plenty of good advertisers from Europe, Australia and other continents... and they don't need only US traffic.
If all of you are doing just Mortgage then US traffic is OK.
I recommend doing a deeper research where advertisers on your page come from.

Damn my arbi has sucked today, even though I made a small profit lol.
4 visitors, 50% ctr. Well, yesterday I had like 32 visitors, the day isn't over yet though but. I have had much lower cpc today too, about $0,25 / click, compared to $0,80 yesterday. Could this be smartpricing or do it go even lower then?

Nah, I don't think it's smartpricing mate. I think it goes A LOT lower than that. Monitor it over a few days, it'll probably fluctuate daily - mine does!
I get clicks on one site that vary from $1+ down to $0.03. Some days I'll get all the dollar clicks, other days I won't.
Tis crazy but that's what arbi's about

greenvy, it is possible that if you put affiliate links on your arbi site it can be good. experimentation and testing is definitely necessary.
however, i might say that personally, i would rather go for one or the other. contextual ads or affiliate offers. Although i'm not that good with affiliate offer related stuff, i would think if you want someone to sign up for something, you should promote it or redirect directly to the site or something like that. if you have an arbi site(contextual) having the affiliate link there might simply be a way for people to exit your site(and most will not sign up for the affiliate offer unless you found a good keyword...in which case you should just make an affiliate offer site with traffic from your search engine). at least that is what makes sense in my mind....i guess the internet doesnt always make sense, so you might still want to test.

yeah I guess the best way to find out is testing it yourself....got 2 of my arbit running one aff campaign each, we'll see how it goes!
