What Is Google Arbitrage?

Google Arbitrage

Google arbitrage is based on understanding two basic aspects of Google's paid search services -- AdWords and AdSense. AdWords allows people to bid on keywords that searchers enter into Google. The winning bidder's short text ads then appear on the search engine results page when the term is searched. Each time someone clicks an ad, you pay a certain amount -- which is why the service is also called 'pay-per-click' or PPC. The idea with Google arbitrage is to pick a useful term that doesn't cost a lot per click.

AdSense

AdSense is Google's contextual advertising network. Contextual advertising means that Google displays text ads on a site based on the content. For example, if you have a website about credit cards, then Google might display credit card ads alongside your content. With Google arbitrage, you're looking to bring people to your site at a lower cost than the amount you receive for an AdSense click. For example, a person comes to your site based on clicking a 50-cent AdWords ad on Google. When there, he may click on another advertisement on your site. You receive around a dollar for the click, giving you an overall profit.

Effectiveness

Arbitrage worked for some site owners for the years leading up to 2008. However, Google cracked down on arbitrage by early 2008. It tweaked its search algorithm to push ad-saturated sites with low-quality content down the search results pages. This effectively made arbitrage an obsolete tactic for most people involved. Even when arbitrage worked more effectively, it could lead to heavy losses if you ended up paying more in AdWords than you made from your AdSense clicks.

Google Policy

Google's AdWords site explains its policy on arbitrage websites. While Google doesn't explicitly state that arbitrage is banned, it does point out that many of the traits of arbitrage sites could result in problems. For example, Google states that websites with a primary function of getting users to click on ads for other sites are prohibited under its policy. This describes many basic forms of the arbitrage website. Break the rules, and you may find your account suspended.

1. Write your own search bar script from scratch. In this case, you must write your own script (usually Javascript, Perl, or PHP) and integrate it with a standard form on your HTML page. Only attempt this method if you have expert experience in Javascript, Perl, or PHP as well as basic HTML. You can finds examples of search box code on the Internet (see Resources) that you can start from and modify to your liking. Paste your finished code into your HTML file.

2. Generate and copy a premade search bar script from a third-party search engine service (see Resources) to install on your website. Type in a few preferences to receive the final code, then copy and paste it into your web page HTML document.

Just visit the Google Custom Seach website (see Resources) and choose the option to 'Create a Custom Search Engine' (you have to establish a Google account).

You can also grab code for Google's search bar for your website from your dashboard if you have an Adsense account.

How to Make Money With YouTube.com

The Basics to Profiting on YouTube

1.

Understand that step one--creating a video--is probably the hardest part of making money on YouTube. Start out by coming up with an idea. If you have a special skill, you can create a video tutorial. If you are good at video editing you could make a parody of a popular music video or a short animated story.

2. Record your idea and give it some sort of unique flair. Some of the most popular ongoing YouTube series include strong recognizable characters.

3. Before uploading your video to YouTube open it in your favorite video editing program and add a watermark directing users to your website.

4. Of course, you will need a website to capitalize off of this method. Websites like Google Page Creator offer the tools you will need to do this for free.

5. Prepare your website by adding content and placing ads. The content can be minimal--perhaps a compilation of your YouTube work. The key is not to keep people on your site, but to get them clicking ads. Google AdSense provides ads that will target your user based on content and pay you for each click.

6. Upload your video to YouTube. Remember to link your website in the video and also in the description page.

Using YouTube as a Tool

7. Instead of using YouTube to direct traffic to your site, you will learn how to use YouTube to add content to your website. This time, start by creating a website with Google Page Creator. Remember to include advertisements.

8. Browse YouTube and find videos you would like to place on your site. It does not matter if these videos are not yours. Simply choose videos you like that will go well together. You can focus on comedy, politics, useful guides or anything else that can be grouped.

9. Now that you have found the videos you would like to use, copy the code next to 'Embed' on the right side of the video and paste it into your site. The video will show up in a box on your homepage.

10. Build content around the videos that you have chosen. If you used cooking videos, arrange them in an easy to use manner with ingredients clearly listed. Add witty commentary to a collection of funny videos. Figure out what it will take to attract users to your website.

11. Now that YouTube has provided you with content to fuel your site, use other methods to advertise. Tell family and friends. Write the address wherever you can. Put signs up around your school or work. The goal is to create traffic to click your ads as much as possible.

How to Make Google Find My Website

Getting Your Webpage Found by Google

1. Evaluate your Web pages to make sure the Google index crawler can find you. Verify your page names contain readable words and are hyphenated if they are more than two words. Using numbers or another type of naming system will keep Google from finding your site.

2. Check if your website is found by Google by typing 'site:yourwebsite.com' on the Google homepage. This will tell if your site is being included in Google's search results.

3. Add your URL to Google's 'Add your URL to Google' page.

4. Find other websites you can add your URL link to. Join an organization related to your content and add your link to its member site. By having other websites point to yours, Google can find your website in multiple locations because you are better linked throughout the Internet.

5. Create a Google site map and submit it to your 'Google Webmaster Tools' account page. Site maps are an effective way of listing your site's URLs and submitting them to Google's index. You can create a text-based site map, use Google's site map generator or find many free automatic generators online.

6. Add your site to Google News if it contains news content. Go to the Google page 'News (publishers) Help.'

7. Create a Google business account if you have a commercial website in a specific location. Go to the Google page 'Local Business Center.'
