When using these guys as an advertiser... do you manily focus them for traffic to an affiliate campaign or an arbitrage site?

I know that getting a high position in any one of these guys gonna cost you some dollars, and sticky with the $0.06 rule you'll be dead last! so I'm guessing its not a good choice to use it to bring traffic to a arbitrage site right? It would work much better at high payout affiliate campaigns correct me if Im wrong?

$0.06 rule doesn't apply to Yahoo because the min bid is $0.10
usually you don't want to use overture or adwords for arbitrage because it's hard to find keywords with high traffic and low bids, that's not to say it hasn't been done.

It all depends on the niche that you are working on. I have campaigns running on Adwords that I pay .02 per click and get large volume. I have other campaigns that I pay .10, .20, .50, 1.00 per click. I usually don't pay much more than 1.00 although I bid more in many cases. Where you are driving the traffic to, and arbi site or direct or whatever, shouldn't matter too much, unless there is a difference in the quality score off the target landing page/URL.

Don't go in with any preconceived assumptions. Put up your own campaigns and test test test.

I've only had luck with arbitrage using Adwords with two sites and those don't have alot of traffic but I do make a 100% profit. Because of this I focus on organic traffic and only use Adwords for arbitrage if i'm making a huge profit % not necessairly a huge amount of revenue. In a nutshell artibrage is tough, there are easiers ways to make money.
