Pay Per Click Arbitrage Explained


Many people have heard about pay per click arbitrage but are unsure of what it actually is and therefore, don't consider using it as part of their Internet marketing arsenal.

PPC arbitrage is a method of buying low-cost clicks for one of your web pages, and once the visitor clicks through, they are presented with a page that, aside from the content on it, contains an XML or text feed of search engine listings. These search engine feeds are usually obtained from second-tier search engines. If the visitor clicks on one of these listings, you receive revenue from that click.

Obviously, for arbitrage to work the revenue obtained from a visitor clicking on a feed link must be greater than the cost of the clicks you are paying for.

If you are wondering whether it is possible to find ways to buy clicks for a few pennies, and have visitors click links on your page that can make you 40 or 50 cents each, it is entirely possible. Just check out the second-tier search pay per click search engines.

Second-tier search engines refer to companies that are a notch below Google, Yahoo!, and MSN in popularity. There are many of these search engines, such as Miva, Enhance, GoClick, and Search123 that can provide clicks on many keywords for just a few pennies each.

Likewise, there are several search engine companies that provide their feeds to webmasters, such as SearchFeed, RevenuePilot, SearchAnyway, and 7Search. When a visitor clicks on a link in one of these feeds you will earn a percentage of the revenue earned from that click. The percentage is usually quite high, from 50% to 65%.

The best keywords to use in pay per click arbitrage are ones from the most competitive markets. This means that you'll find your best success in pay per click arbitrage from niches such as insurance, education, pharmaceuticals, and online gambling.

Visit any of the second-tier search engines and you will see that buying clicks to your site are relatively inexpensive (5 to 15 cents per click), yet those companies which offer their search feeds will pay 50, 75, or even over a dollar for some very competitive keywords.

The key to executing an arbitrage campaign is by having a type of script, called an XML parser, implemented in your website. This type of script reads data from the visitor, such as IP address, and "pulls" in the necessary data from the feed and displays it on your web page.

These types of scripts are hard to find, although a few are available commercially for a very reasonable price. There is also the possibility of having a script written by using a service such as Elance or Rentacoder. A proficient PHP coder should be able to write an XML parser with minimal effort and not charge you an arm and a leg for it.

PPC arbitrage is an area of Internet marketing that is wide open and is one that should be explored further.

If you're doing any sort of Article Marketing at all, isn't it about time you put those articles to maximum use? If you're thinking that you already have, I'm guessing maybe you completely missed out on a rapidly growing trend!

Convert articles to video.

A lot of Article marketers are writing or buying up articles and submitting to them to various online Article Directories. And then shelve the articles they use as they repeat the process over and over.

But, if you're willing to dust off those old articles, we can show you how to get some brand new milage out of them, quickly and easily - and boost your traffic even more!

Smart marketers have been using articles as a core part of their marketing mix for years. It's one of those high-payoff activities that is just plain crazy not to do. Submitting articles to article directories gives the marketer instant credibility, instant traffic from the article sites and instant links that boost search engine rankings.

The long-term residual benefits from improved search engine rankings and the articles being used by publishers on other sites. Every article written and submitted produces immediate results as well as additional profits for years to come.

The formula is a simple one - the more articles you write, and the more directories you submit them to, the more money you make.

While some may argue that English is the language of the Internet, your international visitors will deeply appreciate the opportunity to view your site in their native language. Unfortunately, web page translation is costly, time consuming and not always feasible, especially for startups.

But that’s no longer a problem, with the Incansoft Translator, a wrapper script for Google AJAX Language API that automatically translates and caches those pages for your visitors in different languages!

Just imagine – multiply the total number of web pages you presently have by 10, 20, 30 or more and you’ve just dramatically increased the size of your web site and your presence in the search engines! Not to mention the level of “Stickiness” derived from those visitors who come back again and again just to be able to view content in their own language!

Are you building dozens or hundreds of small, targeted niche sites? Are you spending a lot of time generating traffic for them? How about updating and maintaining them? Writing and outsourcing content over and over hoping to move up a rank or two in SERPS. Takes a lot of time and effort, doesn't it?

And what about all those domain names you're registering? Isn't that a lot of fun, juggling them, renewing them and finding out you lost a few of them? And let's not even get starting on all the hosting accounts and those issues!

Isn't About time to STOP the INSANITY
and START building Authority Sites?

We want you to think about this - why is it that sites like About and Wikipedia consistently rank so well regardless of what is being searched on? They don't target any specific niche topics and they don't pay for traffic. On a smaller scale, why are forums and blogs literally STALKED by search engine bots within hours of them going live? The answer is a simple one...

For over a century, issuing Press Releases related to business news and events has been a mainstay off offline advertising. Unlike taking an ad out in a newspaper or magazine, a Press Release is a Powerful and FREE form of advertising your business, while keeping it in the public view.

Surprisingly, very few online businesses take advantage of the traffic benefits of issuing Press Releases, preferring instead to follow the mundane routines of article marketing, which is far more complex and time consuming. Consider this - with article marketing, the business owner has to focus on indirectly driving traffic back to their web site by writing about a variety of topics, all without being able to clearly promote their business activities.

Press Releases on the other hand, allow the business owner to write short, compelling pieces directly about their business activities and present them to the media. Online, there are dozens of FREE web services dedicated to the collection and distribution of Press Releases, which are in turn picked up and displayed on other, related web sites via RSS or News Feeds. Depending upon the news worthiness of the Press Release, it's not uncommon to find them picked up by the media as filler material, which adds instant credibility to your online business!
