If you’re looking to make money in a different manner, the technique called AdSense arbitrage, also referred to as AdWords arbitrage, may be of interest. Simply put, the technique refers to buying AdWords clicks to direct traffic to a page with AdSense ads and arbitraging the difference between the cost of the AdWords clicks and the earnings from the AdSense clicks. If the AdWords clicks are cheap, the clickthrough ratio on the AdSense page is high and the average per-click AdSense earnings are also high, you end up making money. Successful arbitrageurs make about $2-$3 for each $1 spent on AdWords.

Like all arbitrage, however, there’s a certain degree of risk with this model. You’re spending real money to get traffic that may not convert into earnings, or that won’t make you enough to cover your traffic acquisition costs. It’s a tricky business model to master.

The ebook AdSense Arbitrage and Leveraging provides step-by-step instructions on how to make money with AdSense arbitrage. I like this book because it’s very detailed, and it’s the one I now recommend to anyone looking to get into this (quite serious) game.

I did a full review of AdSense Arbitrage and Leveraging on my AdSense blog, so rather than repost it here I’ll just point you to it:

Although it doesn’t really have anything to do with affiliate marketing, I thought it was interesting enough to mention here as well, in case you’re looking for a different technique to try out or a way to further diversify your affiliate income.
