This is what I strongly believe and want to ask others not to pay any money for the Adsense Arbitrage e-books and products and ... . They are all scam.

If you are not agree with me please give our reasons.

It does work. It does make a profit. It's very dangerous - because Google can end up banning you permanently from using adsense if they feel that your adsense earnings did not make a profit for the adwords buyers who paid you.

It happened to me: I was making a very successful profit-machine using arbitrage since writing the posts on this thread -

since the experiment is over, I am happy to show you my business's own results...

Well, there ain't nothing else to do with the results. So now I have lost all of July's revenue, including the investment, and none of my pages are generating money any more!

I am a brilliant guy, and I'm quite sure I can get past this but most people in my shoes would just be totally destroyed.

Anyway. Luckily I am still a solid member of all the affiliate networks who matter, and I guess my main comeback is going to have to be to hit the affiliate marketing hard!

I can't believe google banned me for an activity which is as ethical and reasonable as stock market trading. But as a result of adsense arbitrage I also got interested in market trading and read a lot about it and then practised some dummy runs and it turns out i'm as good at stock trading as at arbitrage

The shame of the arbitrage being ended is that I was ready to expand to 4 working arbitrage units this month. Anyway. Google's bigger than me, it was always a risk.

Fortunately I have one income-stream left, I'd given up on it and let it peter out, but it's now my main meat, my tour de force, and the investment i just poured into accounts for arbitrage will all go to that.

I must be frank - as far as I can see, Google's removal of my account is unproductive. After all, as I mentioned, I have an RPM of $50... that makes me a strong online person, no matter who pays me. If it ain't google, it's back to the guys for whom i made that quarter million to half million bucks of sales in 2002 to 2004 - the affiliate networks.

DAMMMN! It's true that arbitrage works and, unfortunately, it's true that google will ban you without any specifics given to you other than to claim that it is unprofitable for their advertisers.

The reason not to take the risk is that google ban you for life. Thus I have to admit that right now Google has 100% lost me as an ally online - all the free moral support and above all the praise i sing of google to everyone i know everywhere and full-blown descriptions of what makes them so good... all over. I don't accept google's judgement as valid, so from here on in I shall aim pure and simple to make a search engine better than google.

In 1999 i tried to build a search engine, starting with ZERO knowledge of anything but a few html tags - eventually i learned how to build a model of google itself! and bill gates has said that he feels it's a sad state of affairs if the world STILL can't make a search engine better than google (which only really shows you a smattering of the sites in its list each time, and whether or not relevance is high, it is certain that their system falls far short of 100% successful).

**** them. How am I gonna tell all my investors and other interested parties? Geez. I think I need a cup of tea. And I think I'm gonna be posting on this forum, with my heart and soul, for weeks to come!

Since writing the previous post I have (naturally I had to go to my affil networks to start seeking links to replace the google ads all over my site) been glad to find that some tiny affiliate commissions had accrued for me while doing the arbitrage work... and there's virtually zero affiliate links on my site right now and i haven't bothered with it for years, other than very brief experimentation which was never finished because of how well google marketed their adsense ploy at me.

There was a clue in my signature when i joined this forum! My whole past is affiliate-marketing, it was stupid of me to try and make it big any other way!

Right now I'm stacking up affiliate links, chosen carefully to suit each part of the site i work on. I'll be honest with you and tell you what i'm doing right now - right now i'm working on a huge section of content for my stocks and shares website - as i said i've become really interested and adept at window-shopping shares, and i think that writing tonnes of stuff and exploring and investigating will easily give me a nice trafficsome site, because i'm writing about what i want to write about and looking to do it intelligently and rise above the average content.

On google stocks and shares pay pretty decent revenue at this time, but if you look at the ads you see a bunch of people advertising "learn how to invest in shares" or ads for brokers.

in the affiliate sector i have to choose the ads myself, and cannot have a dozen brokers and 15 'earn from the markets' ads rotating, because they just don't exist on the affil networks, where the buyer has to put down 1000s of dollars outlay before spending even 10 cents on ads.

so it's a different ballgame - but i think what i am going to try is to take ads like Macwarehouse, various flight and travel companies, and other providers of expensive middle-class luxuries, and see if the people who read about stocks and shares are interested in spending on middle class luxuries. my many years experience tells me that this scheme may work - but my many failures (including the absurd failure of my arbitrage thingy) tell me to not count on a single thing.

thanks for you discussions guys, but i still i have doubts
