I need to figure out how to make dynamic pages php/mysql. Is there any software that does it or is it all coded by hand? I was going to choose the top 15-20 after the week of stats and make custom banners pointing to each one having its own custom page? I guess without knowing dynamic thats my only option.
we are going to do a arbi test!

Im trying to figure out how to make dynamic landing pages also , but for producing leads. I came across this code at digital point:
<?php
// take the referer
$thereferer = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
// see if it comes from google
if (strpos($thereferer,"google")) {
// delete all before q=
$a = substr($thereferer, strpos($thereferer,"q="));
// delete q=
$a = substr($a,2);
// delete all FROM the next & onwards
if (strpos($a,"&")) {
$a = substr($a, 0,strpos($a,"&"));
}
// we have the results.
$mygooglekeyword = urldecode($a);
}
?> and then use <?= $mygooglekeywords ?> where you want to output the keywords. Only works for referrer coming from google.
I cant figure out how to implement it though. I tried pasting the code into my html page and the using <?= $mygooglekeywords ?> where i wanted the keywords. But that wouldnt worh for me. Anyone know how to use this code?

I thought you could throw php code in html pages, probobly not though. Ill save it as php and see if it works
Thx. My average position was 6.4. Now in the spirit of testing. I'll rasie the max bid to .06 first then change my ad if that doesnt work.
Now the things I find really odd so far is my budget spent is $0.14 yet I have no clicks. WTF. Anyways here were my stats from day 1:
Impressions: 733
Clicks: 0
Average Position: 6.81
Spent: 0.14
What I have done now is trim down irrelevant keyowrds, changed max bid to .06 from .05, and also changed my ad. THe hours I ran it was from 7am EST to 6pm EST trying to hit the adult crowd. THe entire experience cost me $0.14 so in retrospect it was well worth it. Currently I'm going for another page altogether instead using only adsense the way your all doing them with maybe 10-15 keywords. We'll see what happens.
I am two weeks into my arbi testing. Before I read this thread, I knew nothing.
I am not getting a lot of clicks from my purchased ads, but I am getting a 25% CTR from those that visit my pages. I have three sites focusing on three competitive keywords. They are too common to call them niche.
I am using 7search only. My average spending is 8 cents a day and my average earnings via adsense is 83 cents a day. While this is nothing to write home about, it is a 10 times increase and any profit is a good thing.
Anyway, I know there is a lot of info here. Start at the beginning and pay attention. It's not hard and it's not rocket science. From here, I plan on adding more keyword specific sites and exploring other second tier search engines to get my traffic. I hope things continue to improve.
Thanks Chris!

Wow! I read the entire string in one sitting. Thanks to you Chris for investing your time and sharing your knowledge.
I am a complete newbie, not only to arbitrage, but to internet marketing. A couple of quick questions. 1) Given that you have multiple arbi sites, how much do you average daily per site across all your sites? 2) Given my newbieness, I don't even know where to start regarding generating a web site/page. Any recommendations on where I can acquire this skill set?

I would love a template critique:
Here my first one:
I just signed up for 7 search and will try running the same campain (keywords) I am now with msn and compare the results.
MSN -> affiliate
7 search -> adsense
I'll let you know how it goes.

I was noticing the same thing. Thx
Changed everything around. The actual pictures were saved large in photoshop. Now the entire page is 200K. I am now running 30 targetted words in msn each with a custom page, title, description and also custom ads with dynamic ads. Also at the same time I'm running 10,000 keywords through 7 search for the same pages but only going to one of them as 7 search doesnt have that feature. All words are being run at $.03 becuase of some stupid rule where if you do each by hand its a penny but if you put a ton in its .03. Its almost like they want you to spend less money . They should have the layers where the more words the cheaper it gets. Anyways I'll report back on how things go.
Just givin back
Smart Pricing
I was just wondering if anyone is running their traffic into yahoo instead of google due to smart pricing / other issues?

I have group of sites within a particular sporting niche and switched one over to YPN and see what would happen. It started off great, about 3X Google per click.
In the last month though, the revenue per click has dropped much, much, lower. We're talking Google-range even w/o smart pricing.
The site has not changed content is well-optimized for it's niche. I don't know if there is just an influx of cheap inventory being introduced, but the targeting has always been lousy in YPN unless you happen to be pushing one of the extremely well-developed niches like mortgage, or whatever. Hopefully Yahoo's Panama update will increase the ad inventory. Yahoo is just such a pain that I rarely use it myself unless I have a real winner in Adwords.
To test it out for how it may better monetize a site, set up their site-targeting for a URL of yours where you can limit ads to a general category. See what ads come up, then see if you sell those things or would want to.
Seems like a backwards way to start a business... only because it is.

cpd, you are going to get alot of people stealing your template, the only thing I would change is the google search box. I would consider that a leak and 2 if you got paid it would not be very much! also maybe decrease the space between the 2 columns
Looks good and it's a start. Now just send some cheap traffic to it and see if it converts. Test, tweak, test until you are happy with your results.
I have one site hitting 90% CTR with an 8:1 return that I know some people on here would say won't work for arbi...but it did. Just keep that in mind when you are trying to get a feel for it.
Xrproto - of course you agree with me, this is my thread and god damn it I did arbitrage in 1986, I know everything there is to know about everything there is to know. Now that we all know I know all we can stop with the posts saying how much you peons agree with me!
I kidd, I kidd!
