MMO SMTB How many of you run Search Arbitrage?

[Discoverol]

Hey everyone,

I'm new here, but I've been checking out the forum for a while, especially when it comes to search arbitrage. My team only focuses on this method, using Yahoo, Bing, and Google feeds. We've had a lot of success with it. I'm wondering if anyone else here has been using this strategy too?

 

[AuthenticCoops]

Are you using a native platform?

 

[Discoverol]

Are you using a native platform?

I mostly use Facebook and Native advertising, specifically Taboola.

Hey folks, I've got a question for you.

Do you make money by sending people to parking domains through arbitrage, or do you use a different method?

There are many ways to do it, and that's definitely one of them!

 

[Sleekko]

But it might not be the most lucrative option, correct?

What do you recommend for me instead?

 

[Excunian]

Hi, could you please explain what you mean by "arbitrage search," or could you direct me to a source where I can learn more about it? Thanks.

I don't think you'll find much. It's been around for a long time, but it's really hard to get into. Finding a provider is tough, and usually only big companies manage it.

I need to grasp the concept first, haha.

Basically, you buy ad space or traffic on platforms like Gemini, Taboola, or Outbrain. Then, you send that traffic to a page on Google, Yahoo, Bing, or others where you can make money from clicks on search results. This generates revenue for the marketer who's doing this strategy called arbitrage.

Is there any video or discussion here that explains step by step or gives an example of a website? Thanks a lot, man! <3

Honestly, I don't think such material exists out there. I came across SA years ago by chance and got hooked. Everything I know about it, I learned from friends, peers, colleagues, and my own trials. The challenge is that platforms like Taboola and Outbrain have high entry requirements. Maybe you should start with search feed monetization and the "native to search" approach if you're skilled enough to build a site and attract traffic. Later, you can scale up to search arbitrage.

Edit: I just thought of another way to do it using social networks like Facebook. You buy ad space on Facebook and promote your search engine results page (SERP) there. Traffic from those ads can be directed to search feeds from Yahoo, Bing, or Google. I haven't tried it myself, but I believe it could work. If anyone has tested this approach to SA, please feel free to share.

Thanks! Can you give me an example of a large website?

These domains are usually hidden and not advertised openly. If you come across a search results page that looks like Google, Yahoo, or something similar, it might be one of them. Honestly, anyone can register a domain and get search results from an XML feed.

I'd like to connect with you. I know a bit about this, but I'm curious about how to parse XML results. Please check your messages.

Hi Alex - I'm really into this topic too. Can I get in touch with you?

We help search arbitrage websites detect click fraud.

Our customers usually want to test their traffic before it goes to their main site because they fear they might have bought bot traffic, which could get their ad accounts shut down.

Most search traffic sources turn out to be bots. Many of our clients have had to switch sources several times to find real traffic.

The takeaway: Be cautious if you're buying search traffic!

Man, almost every traffic source has bots these days. The trick is to find a way to detect them, but that's a lot of work. To do it right, you need to know a lot about various things. You can use tracking tools and spy software to help, but they won't completely solve the problem.

Plus, there's always at least 10-15% of traffic that's from bots using very sophisticated methods. You won't catch them unless you use equally advanced detection techniques.

How do I know all this? I make my living by researching and engineering ways to stay ahead of the system and remain undetected. It's a constant struggle that requires lots of coffee and cigarettes!
