PPV arbitrage?

Cloaking apart, is there a way to arbitrage PPV for offers that you feel could KILL with PPV, but your network doesn't allow PPV for the offer?

Just brainstormin' ....................

I've always wanted to arbitrage ppv -> ppc. Couple huge tv advertisers arbitraging Adsense with landing sites designed as search engines. Been doing it successfully for years according to my tv rep spending $10k a day. I don't know if I have the balls to arbitrage $10k worth of traffic a day to Adsense on a net45 pay schedule.

Yeah I heard that its a risky as game, cos Google can see that everyone clicking the ads has like hot potato or freeze frog or gamevance installed so they get suss as feck

The three big advertisers on Trafficvance all seem to monetize using Adsense blocks, some Amazon thrown in there too.

So...which one of you wants to do a case study on this?

i've done it with yahoo feeds....not as easy as you might think....and with adsense I know that they have lifted the rules on paid traffic ....so you can put it on pages....but they can't be MFA type stuff....

thing is though.....google adjusts your payments down based upon the traffic you send....so its not that much dif than running an offer....the click still has to convert...they have rather advanced clickfraud software....and it makes it hard to really exploit it well...unless your sending good traffic....

I've seen these types of pages many time! These guys run in almost every niche and sometimes they pop over unrelated URLs. The pop looks like a search engine searching a certain term, like "Payday Loans" and then it displays a bunch of related adsense type ads.....I've always been very curious about these pops.

One of my AMs told me this still works, you just have to "launder" the traffic a bit.

I tried this a while ago and promptly got my Adsense account closed. My laundry skills are poor, though...

Well I think you'd be sending rather good traffic, you can pop on specific keywords so the people you're showing the Adsense blocks to are pretty well-targeted + they're not the smartest (I mean they have adware on their PC) so they should convert rather well.

Found another post reg. this

Unless you have a bulletproof user agent filter and a mix of other traffic, your odds of this working are next to nil, even for 1st payout.
