I was doing pretty well with arb, averaging $1+ clicks, then i tried using adwords to send traffic and now all my clicks are about .30 .This ever happen to anyone else?
I thought i heard someone else say this, but i thought i would try it out anyways

Well I commented in this thread what I thought http://www.wickedfire.com/showpost.php?p=36091&postcount=30


Basically someone for google has said that they use adwords data to easily identify arbitragers. It's only easliy if you are using adsense & adwords together. Now if you used adwords to send traffic to a YPN arbi site or vice versa (overture to adsense) won't be so noticable.

I was jus doing some research after reading this thread and it looks like google is kind of serious about taking down arbitragers and MFA sites...it isn't really against their TOS as long as you don't hide the ads and have some type of content on the page, right?

actually i might just have been having a bad day. I stopped adwords and im doing better now, but accounts get smart priced for a week or more at a time (i read that somewhere). So im not sure i might try it again
