            Put up a site with adsense on it, buy adwords for traffic, and generate twice as much revenue from the adsense as you pay for the adwords

              i think he means buying adwords for "mortgage" and then redirecting them to a site with 20 adsense links to "mortgage" and making a profit from it..... ?

                      google allows it. (as long as your page with the adsense ads has "real content")

                        It's actually becoming quite popular at the moment - almost as popular as private label article membership sites!

                          WTF is a private label article membership site?
                          I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

                                5 from a link zone

                                then 5 link in each text zone if you were running 3 120x600's

                                    That's aboutr it but there's no redirection involved and the page that the traffic is sent doesn't have or need that many links to make some nice coins.

                                      Well, I discovered this technic recently by accident and I didn't I would be making that much profit from. In fact I thought I would be losing money.

                                            You basically become a middleman inflating the prices... this practice is kinda similar to Circle Jerks but for mainstream.

                                            I say cash in on it while you can before this bubble bursts

                                              Well, what i wonder about is, lets say you buy 100 clicks, no way those 100 people will all click your adsense. Not even close to those 100. So while working in the same niche you have to buy REAL cheap traffic and sell very high.

                                                      Ok so people go to google and click on an adword ad and go to your site the click on the SAME ads they ignored on google? This works?

                                                        here's a couple of such landing pages after searching for Windows XP:

                                                        One's using overture links, the other google

Then you offer similar links on your page, 8 people of those 100 click it, you get paid 8 cts per click. I dont see the profit part

                                                              That's why I only buy adwords traffic from the Search results and not from the 'content' pages... The search clicks are much more profitable for me
                                                              I died.

                                                                But buying AdWords and sending it to an Adsense filled page??? That is just lost upon me. Whoever claims they are doing such a thing and making money off of it is full of shit.

                                                                                            Here's how the Adsense Adwords Arbitrage system works:

                                                                                            A company buys cheap ads (using a Google Adwords account) to drive users to their site where they write about topics that are likely to attract high-paying ads.

                                                                                            If a reader clicks on cheap ad to come to their site, and then leaves the site by clicking on an expensive ad, the website owner makes money on the difference, minus Google's cut.

                                                                                            But Adsense Arbitrage may not be the best way to generate income from Adsense. There are some risks involved that could eat your profits:

                                                                                            1. People who have already clicked on an ad are much less willing to keep clicking on more ads.

                                                                                            2. You will never get a 100% CTR - and every visitor exiting your site without clicking the "high-paying" ad will make you poorer by atleast 5 cents.

                                                                                            3. Even if you provide no exit routes other than adsense links, people may always close the browser window or type another URL in the address bar or click on bookmarks.

                                                                                            Of course, without advertisers' cash, this corner of the online-ad market could never flourish.

                                                                                            Google has also introduced a system of separate content bidding for Google AdWords. Advertisers can now choose to bid different prices for keywords depending on whether the ad appears on either the Google search engine or content sites. Previously, the single keyword bid by advertisers was applied to their ads on both search and content pages.

                                                                                            The move brings Google into line with Yahoo! that has run a similar dual pricing strategy for some time. It allows advertisers to compare the effectiveness of their promotions on the different mediums and vary the prices they are willing to bid accordingly. For example some advertisers might prefer to target content sites specific to the product they are selling while others may wish to attract potential buyers while they are still in the 'research mode' - i.e. when using the search engine to find product.

                                                                                            Google says that the new content bidding mechanism will be available to advertisers through the AdWords campaign management interface and is available to all advertisers worldwide. It also says the new service will not affect the site targeting feature, which is the tool that allows advertisers to target specific content sites in the Google network.

                                                                                            In addition, the minimum bid for content is now a static $.01 (in the US).

                                                                                              Thanks, i will do some searching.
