Sorry that I have not updated in quite some time, it has been over a month!! Arg!! I did not forget about my readers I just have a lot going on. Just to give a basic breakdown on how traffic arbitrage has performed for me the last 30 days.
I am advertising certain affiliate offers with YPN and Adwords. Some of the offers are simple zip submits with low payouts. The convert like crazy though around 80 %. This offers have netted a little over $1000.00 for July. Some of the higher paying offers that I am using with higher payouts have netted about the same amount of money a little over $1200.00.
However there are some additional benefits to the higher paying offers. ADSENSE revenue!!
With the short submits (zip submits) I send the clickers straight to the merchants landing page. With the higher paying affiliate offers I am sending them to a custom landing page with adsense on them. The clicks on adsense have paid all of the PPC cost. So my net is actually a lot higher on the custom landing pages. The numbers above are the net figures not including adsense income.
The adsense income for the custom landing pages is well over $3300.00. So my real net in PPC arbitrage for the month of July is almost $6000.00
Ill take it!!
The reason my numbers have gone down from previous experiments is a lack of concentration on traffic arbitrage and on building sites designed around affiliate offers using SEO. Plus I am also teaching my bride on how to be an affiliate marketer. She is now a full time stay at home mom again. (another story another blog) So my work ethic has been slack as of late.
I do believe with her help we can turn our online real estate into a $250,000 a year enterprise. We are pacing $110,000 for 2007. I really don't like talking about these numbers however I feel it is beneficial to some up and coming readers there is hope. you just need to pick your niches and learn to make the most of them.
