we are going to do a arbi test!

The way I do it (and I'm a newbie) is to use Google's Keyword Tool, Select the dropdown to show "Cost and Ad Position", put in a number, like 10, then start putting in keywords. I randomly put words in and see in I get any interesting results. Ok, may not be completely random, but sometimes it's fun to see what happens. Also, you may want to try increasing or decreasing the cost. I usually use $2.
Once you have some keywords, at this point they are pretty broad, go to a traffic estimation tool to see what kind of traffic there is for those words. From what I've seen on other WF threads, if you get around 10,000 searches a month, it's good to use.
At this point, go back to page 1 of this thread and do whay they say!
Here's an old WF thread that might be helpful.
Niche finding ideas
another n00b question:
Is it best to have a domain name for your specific arbit niche site ex: easycreditcards.com
or
Is it better to have one information domain ex: allyouneed411.com and have subdir of your arbit niches? ex: allyouneed411.com/creditcards.html

My assumption is that it doesn't matter so much if you're only doing arbitrage. *I would suggest using subdomains over your example however.
*I suck and in no way should be giving advice on matters I know little about. Use at your own risk.
thanks for clearing that up, I've got another question
Do you think that having that many ads on the side like this on
http://www.i-geek.info/chevroletavalanche.htm
is a little bit overkill?....(excluding the ads on the bottom)
I think if you go with less ads on the side, the site won't look "full" or proportional.
Thats just my opinion on it, what do you guys think?
That's where Trial and Error Comes In. If it's not doing good, why do you think the Owner of the i-geek made a series of those PPC Arbi Sites ....
Not always true. He might just be blowing them out and hoping it works out. I always try to keep in mind that because they are doing it doesn't mean it is the best way. He also might be happy with a smaller return than what you want. It could be a good starting point.
You can try it that way and if you have low paying clicks try pulling some off. It is cheap to test arbitrage. I've been going with the one ad per arbi site method and most of my clicks have been fairly high.
hey, so I have a database with arbi sites that I find and track them with a tool that I had made for me. The things I am looking for are how long do they stay around. if they are there for more than 7 days they usually stay for a while. If you want to do a check manually just look at what I-geek is targeting for keywords. see if you can find him on the engines etc. use the digital point tools as well they can help you figure out if something is or is not working for someone else. If you see a site that is always poping up in your searches and you track it for a couple of weeks and it is still there, well you found something that works. I dare say that page set up though important is no more so than ad copy. If you are getting the impressions and not click throughs it might not be the network it more than likely is your ad! keep working on those ad copy skills and start thinking about how you can learn to write copy that will help target traffic for aff offers! You don't want to be stuck doing only 1 thing.
chris or anyone who knows the answer....
Just a n00b question....if you bid only 0.06 for every keyword for "mortgage" or any other keyword, would'nt you position very low and not receive any traffic??
