Things have been very slow on the blogging front the last week. I really haven’t been doing much online instead concentrating on a couple of applications that I’m writing to make my day to day running a little easier. More on that stuff in the near future. Anyway, late yesterday afternoon I decided to catch up on a couple of the MMO blogs that I read and headed over to ShoeMoney. This post stood out, hmm pay per click arbitrage – I could see dollar signs and some easy money. Figuring I was early onto this i.e. no comments I decided to give it a go straight away. This is how I got on with my RevTwt / SocialSpark Twitter arbitrage:-
I guess I should maybe explain what I’m doing here? First things first go and read Shoemoneys post. Got it? So what we’re doing is buying cheap clicks using the Twitter PPC website revtwt.com (we are an advertiser) The URL we want clicking is in fact the Twitter URL for an offer in the SocialSpark Opportunites network that pays you PPC and accepts Twitter traffic, most do. So we are buying cheap clicks to earn from higher priced clicks. Doesn’t get easier than that does it? I’m paying 10 cents for my clicks at revtwt and hoping to earn from a 24 cents per click offer for medical bracelets at SocialSpark. This gives me a nice enough profit margin to have a play with, I’m prepared for some scrubbing but it should at least see me around the break even before I start to tweak.
12 hours later and there is a problem with this. Shoe mentions it in his post how the guys over at SocialSpark are a little bit over keen with their filtering. That’s putting it lightly! Put it this way of the 600+ clicks I’ve paid for at revtwt (who themselves really rate their own anti click fraud) exactly ZERO have counted at SocialSpark. None. So clicks that pass the geo targeted/anti spam filters at revtwt count for diddley squat at SocialSpark. Even if by some miracle it all changed around and some of my clicks started counting at SocialSpark I’m on to a loser here. Time to pause the campaign.
No doubt a lot of people are going to get excited at this just as I was, any pay per click arbitrage that works is always very popular. Just let it be a warning for you that it may not be as easy as it seems. At the moment I’ve got a lump of money sat in my revtwt account and no offers to promote with it. I guess my job for today is to go of and do some proper research into some high paying/low scrubbing Twitter PPC offers, I suggest you do the same before jumping on this.

I currently use 1 PPC – PPC arbitrage but it’s very low volume, nothing like the numbers that the above system promises. And no I’m not going to share it
I’ll sit on my revtwt balance until I can find something that I think is worth giving a go. If I can’t find a decent PPC offer then I may just throw the traffic at an affiliate offer.
