I just started making arbi sites a couple days ago and have a few campaigns going but i havent had any clicks!! Now at first i figured it was the niches so i look at how much they were searched in 7search and there affiliates and too raise some bids just to get some clicks. So one of my main keywords gets almost 14k searches in the network and i raised my bid so that my average posttion is 2 and still no clicks:mad:. Other main keywords are similar. WTF!!! My ads can't be that bad haha
 


14k searches is fairly low, so don't expect much even on a good day. I'm ranked very well for a keyword that gets about 500k searches and even with that I'm getting only 10-20 (expensive!) clicks per day.
 
I've got 1/10 of my normal traffic so far from 7search. It's awesome. I think their affiliate network sites got bombed by the google changes.
 
I used clicksor once and it didn't work out too well, but I might try them again. I think I still have money in my account.
 
i just went last week to making $10/day on my 15 arb sites to about $1 day...somethign is wrong w/ 7search, and it seems to be across the board so I would say that the google changes wiped one out their traffic. Hopefully its only temp.

btw- I have lots of keywords w/ over 10k in 'volume' I don't know what it really means in 7search- but it means that I might get one click a day if that. Its only for words w/ over 100k that I've had any real volume with...
 
Yeap... I have the same problem. Just started 4 days ago, and my traffic from 7search is down to almost nothing now....

I hope it is temporary.
 
Mine is pretty stable too. Some of my niches have gone up and some have gone down a lot.

I have a feeling some niches, especially the ones people are dumb enough to post here, get crowded with arbi sites fast and then it's hard for anyone to get traffic.
 
You usually have to wait for a day or so after your listing is live before it really starts to get traffic... or at least that's how it seems to me, although I have had it start to trickle in within 4-6 hours before. I think it takes a while for their affiliate network to update with the new listings or something.

37K is medium-low traffic for an arbi niche I'd say. Then again, I'm a noob. But you might want to aim higher. Yesterday my best traffic was 23 clicks at $0.15/click in the 1.1 position on a term with 350,000 searches. I had a total of about 110 clicks over 25 listings, most of which have top 5 rankings for at least 50K worth of searches.

Hopefully those numbers give you a sense of the volume to look for.

Click to expand...

Arghh, i'll just go for the saturated niche like mortgage?

But yea, i'll wait for a while for the affiliate network to update their listing.
 
I haven't tried loans, investing, legal, medical, etc, yet. I'm planning to try one page in each of the super-niches tomorrow just to experiment but I don't expect them to do anything.

There are lots of unsaturated niches with 50K-150K searches. It takes some work to find them though.
 
setec, you should set up a google checkout account and run your stupid ebook on ppc for dirt cheap, see if you get any takers, do it just like it is, I bet you would have some sign up! lol
 
Hehe, thanks. I needed a break from making arbi sites today so I built that instead. I bet I could get some signups. I tried to make it as obvious a joke as I could but just about anything could be an actual ebook marketer trying some new angle...
