I dont do arbitrage because all it does is screw advertisers. It should be banned.
Dan is right. Arbitrage is actually dying really fast. Get out of it before PPC search engines lay the hammer down.
stop, it hurts, I am laughing so hard i pissed myself, please everyone stop doing arbi, it is a scam! you are all breaking the law, the google police are coming for you, they are taking over the world, get out now and you will be spared!
I did not get the memo that this was the oposite thread!

that is craziness wrapped up in more craziness. arbitrage exists in every market where there is supply and demand. the stock market is a prime example where arbitrage has made millions and cannot be banned due to the efficiancy of the market. as the stock market became more mature, easy money from arbitrage became almost non-existant. well then you've got some computer geeks in their garage writing software to automate the process and make fractions of cents (.001) net profit on each transactions.

Hahaha that's very funny... US congress to ban Arbitrage... the funniest thing I heard in days.

Why do you think that Dan?
In reality most arbitrage is in places where advertisers don't go. You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places advertisers don't talk about at parties, they want arbitragers re-selling their ads, they need arbitragers re-selling their ads.
I used to believe the same thing as you. I was just wrong is all. An advertiser could easily afford to out-bid an arbitrage player if they wanted to do so. They don't for a number of reasons. This leaves an opening for others to drive traffics from the nooks and crannies of the internet and to the advertisers. No arbitrager is capable of competing with an actual advertiser on a second-tier search engine if the advertiser actually chose to promote their site there and do so across a full spectrum of keywords.
The system actually works. Consider it a laziness tax.
If someone actually goes to the trouble to click on an ad to get to an arbitrage site on a given topic and then go even further to click on an ad on that site again, they are likely very interested in the given topic. Consider it a double-opt-in.
It's from the poker movie "Rounders"

Actually that's not the original quote.
