SearchAnyway.com’s blog is a really good place to find out more about PPC arbitrage. Too many people think of only Google AdSense arbitrage when Google is clearly making it hard for this to work on their search engine. Some people are making a good living from SearchAnyway and it could be worth a look because they are more transparent than Google - At least we know how much they plan to pay us per click unlike Google.
Here’s a video of Sanjay, who works for SearchAnyway, on the best sources of PPC arbitrage traffic.
If you’re too busy to watch the clip, the “1st-tier PPC search engines” are Google AdWords, Yahoo Search Marketing, MSN adCenter, Ask and AOL. They hate the “2nd-tier search engines” and warn against using them or else they might ban your account.

Forget about the selling just 20% of your products that bring in 80% of your sales. Keep selling the other 80% of your products because they still can make a lot of money is what Chris Anderson is trying to tell you in his book, The Long Tail.
I should have read this book earlier. If you haven’t, please check out my review of The Long Tail to see what you have been missing.

NetAudioAds / Voice2Page is probably a scam. People have been waiting for ages for the so-called “BPA Audit” to be finalized. The last post at the official NetAudioAds blog was on the 29th of July 2008. Charles Heflin’s blog was last posted on the 8th of May 2008. These guys seem to have either nothing to post about or they have abandoned this idea all together.
It was supposed to be launched on the 1st of February 2008. I have no idea what is happening with the people behind this launch but I think it has too many shady things about it that makes it smell very fishy.
Firstly, the appointment of Charles Heflin as the promoter of this company is a big red flag. He has a terrible history of not paying his affiliates as I have documented this in a previous post about NetAudioAds. Secondly, they have been extremely late to launch this program, which means they probably never planned to be early or they messed up big time. Thirdly, some people have reported that the claims of filling up 100% of their traffic is untrue.
Other people have started to grumbled about NetAudioAds and Voice2Page:

I just read the Problogger book on how to make a 6-figure income with blogging and wrote a review of the Problogger book. It’s a very interesting and up to date book on how to blog. It gave me a lot to think about and I would like to upgrade my blog with some of Problogger’s features. I should also start using social networking tools like Twitter too!

I first learnt about SearchAnyway after reading Google Payload, which is a rubbish eBook if you ask me. I won’t bother with the details of the eBook but most of the tips in the eBook will most likely get you banned with SearchAnyway.
SearchAnyway does not allow traffic from some PPC search engines like:
Google Payload recommends using some of these PPC search engines, which is clearly against SearchAnyway’s recommendations. SearchAnyway prefers traffic from 1st-tier PPC search engines, which probably means they like Google AdWords, Yahoo Search Marketing and MSN adCenter.
Here’s the official proof straight from SearchAnyway’s publisher screen:
Notice the bold text “Any Affiliate who can send us high-quality 1st-Tier arbitrage traffic for 1 month will have a rev-share increase of 5%, and will receive higher bids from our premium feed“.
The default revenue share is 60% of the click value of their ads. What is cool about SearchAnyway is you can find out the click value of your desired keywords. It’s right on their home page at the “Bid Checker” section. …

I think John Jonas and I must have been reading the same books. I have read the E-Myth and I am reading the 4-Hour Work Week. I love these books as they are teaching me to free up my life to do the things I want to do. However, I have experienced a lot of problems putting the knowledge from these 2 books into action.
That is where John steps in. He’s done it and he is sharing with us how he did it. I have outsourced work to Singaporeans as well as freelancers online but I have had mixed results. I have had terrible experience with freelancers from India just like John did. Singaporeans are a bit too expensive for me at the moment. John recommends hiring people from the Philippines to work for you full time from their homes for about USD $250 per month, which is a pretty decent wage in the Philippines.
I know for a fact that Filipino maids earn about SGD $360 per month in Singapore, which is about USD $250 per month. Filipino maids are on the higher pay scale of domestic workers in Singapore probably due to their superior English language skills and their …
