How much can I make in 7 days with Arbitrage starting from scratch!

Everything is in a state of change and the internet by it's nature changes faster.

If you have a year off, I would spend it diversifying.

The core of my web business will always be content driven sites, but those take quite a bit of time to grow - not to mention they require more resources. But I like doing them the most and when I get tired of them I can sell them.

Right now my time is split about 70% between content and arbitrage, but over the next few months I want to get it more like 50% content, 25% arbi and 25% affiliate.
 


Ok so getting back on track here; whats a good way to keep track of ROI on that many niches/sites? What I do now (don;t laugh) is I have an excel spreadsheet and every few days just enter in the data from my adsense earnings and 7search (or wherever) spending. There has to be a better way to do this because it's taking me forever this way.

Nope, he's using Keyword Country.

Excellent service btw for finding niches.

I'm thinking about signing up for a KWC trial, but read in another thread that some of their CPC data is outdated. Does this mean their system is using a huge static database that only gets updated every so often?
(Their site also states "6.5 million traffic building keywords" - which kinda hints that it must be a finite-sized big static keyword database)

I was hoping it would use real-time data for every search.. :xomunch:
 
Forget the real time data, this is not a CPC campaign you are trying to optimize for. This is arbi.

I don't even pay attention to the cpc number. I just find the keywords, create the ads, and upload. If it works, great. if not, then I dump it. I'm not gonna spend time worrying about what a KW tool says a KW is worth, I'm gonna find out for myself.

The only thing I use the CPC data for is determining what to concentrate my content on to pull the highest paying ads. As far as KW research, ignore the CPC. What I love about KWC and keyword research is the structure it allows me to pull KW's in. With WordTracker I have to spend hours pulling KWs. With KW country, I pull once and get every keyword for a niche I need.

trust me, KWC is worth every penny. Do the 1 week trial. You won't regret it. And if your feeling generous hook a brother up with an affiliate sign up ;)

3 affilliate codes in one post. That deserves negative rep.

Well I don't trust any source 100%. There's so many factors that can lower your payout per click. You only want to use these kind of services to direct you in the right direction. You also need to use your head when you pick out potential keywords. Like if you have popular keyword database like myself, you'll see a spike in turkey keywords. How to make turkey etc. That's because there was thanksgiving. Now it's too late to target those keywords.

So pick out the keywords that are constantly popular. You can use KWC to find out potential keywords, then use Google's tools to see how steady the traffic is (hint: keyword search trends).

But why when that is so much work. Why not just toss the ads up and see what works? Why use Google to narrow your picks down when it might end up costing you your most popular keyword?
 
I purchased the one month subscription 30 minutes ago .. They have already cut me off for the day.. I copied between 1400 - 1500 keywords .. and BAM ..Cutoff. WTF!!
 
Are you using the online version or the desktop version? I was told by their support that the online version has like a 7500 kw a day max and the desktop was unlimited.
 
It looks like KWcountry uses overture... If you want you can just scrape the shit out of the overture form "like they do" and save some dollars

Oh yes. I can see how profitable it is to try 100 "niches" that has an average $0.10 high CPC in Adwords instead of trying 10 "niches" that has an average $2.00 high CPC in Adwords. Come on man, use your brain. This isn't some BH search engine spam where you can throw shit to the wall as much as you want. In arbi every time you try something, it costs money. Not much, but it's still money. I tend to maximize my profits, so I don't like to just throw some random keywords without any data that they are actually profitable... It's just stupid.

Amen to that. Shooting in the dark is fine for BH where there's really no expenses to worry about. Arbi can become a moneypit if not properly managed.

Yes and arbi & bh se spam are two completely different monsters. In arbi you need to optimize your cost compared to the payout you get per visitor. With BH you need to concentrate on building and serps. It doesn't matter if your BH site makes $0.01 or $0.50 per click, the important thing is that it exists in search engine rankings.
 
BH isn't cheap though if your buying 100's of domains at once. You don't expect to host geocities pages do you?

And you need 100's of domain at beginning because......? And of course $3/month hosting with unlimited domains is going to be a huge crack in your wallet..

If you buy 100 cheap .info's they cost like $0.80 from RegisterFly. Oh boy, that's whopping $80!
 
What about using blogs? Is anyone still using or had any luck in the past with using blogger or wordpress for these type of arbi campaigns? Could at least save on the urls...
