You’ve shown yourself willing to work for this post – not a lot of work, granted; but it is the people willing to get off their backsides that make the money. I specifically set it up this way partly because it would boost this blog, but also partly because I was tired of people leeching (never contributing, being annoying over instant messenger and expecting advice for every little thing… you get the idea).
Now that you’ve gotten the password to this post, you just have to do one thing to get this method.
Send a one time payment of $47 to my Paypal account and I’ll send you the method.
Just a one time payment, and you’ll receive secrets that will make you rich!

Just playing… but I had to try something like that given the skepticism in the first post, from various people. 
Okay… let’s talk about the idea. Please do not give out the password to this post; obviously there’s nothing stopping you, but you worked for this, and others didn’t – let them work too 
Online, well in anything in life – it is very difficult to *guarantee* something. Yes, the term is used a lot, too loosely – even by me, however guarantee actually means that you can 100% predict it will happen.
In website flipping, nothing can be guaranteed – you may not find a buyer, you may get scammed, you get the idea.
In affiliate marketing, profitable campaigns can turn to dust overnight, due to factors beyond your control… Google slap, the offer being pulled etc.
However, I have achieved an iGCSE in English, and successfully completed the English course in the first year of my university degree, so I like to think I know what the word ‘guarantee’ means.
So how can I guarantee you income?
First off, let me state that you have to get things setup; getting accepted to some of these programs can be difficult. However, once you are setup (will take ten minutes to one hour) you will see profits rolling in for as long as you want to, and a 2x – 4x or more profit margin.
What we’re going to be doing is called traffic arbitrage. Something a few of you may have heard of, but something I doubt most of you are using.
The concept of arbitrage varies, as it talks more about the financial sector, however in online business, to me arbitrage is buy low, earn high.
An example of arbitrage would be acting as the middle man in your local market.
If Shopkeeper A sold you eggs for $1 each, and Shopkeeper B bought eggs from you at $3 each, you’d buy and sell from one to the other all day long – wouldn’t you?
We’ll be doing the same thing.
I’ll walk you through the basics now, which is exactly how I made my money; at the end of this post I’ll also give you two other ideas you can use.
First thing’s first, you will need a blog. Either a blog or a ‘proper’ looking website, but a blog is better.
Your website has to look professional – you’ll be signing up for a few advertising networks and they don’t take websites that look like they were designed by your average preschooler.
If you already have an existing blog, that’s great. If not, setup one on a common topic – remember, you’re not going to promote this to anyone else apart from the ad networks – something like making money online, parenting, sports etc. Nothing illegal or something your parents wouldn’t like to see you involved with.
A good theme to use is Justin Tadlock’s Structure theme, or any of the Revolution themes if you’ve bought the rights to them. You want 5-10 articles on your website, and if possible you want to remove the date timestamps from them so it doesn’t look like you never update your website (even though this is what we’ll be doing).
Next up, you need to sign up for advertising networks. CPM ones.
What is CPM? CPM stands for cost per mille, basically the amount you get paid per 1,000 impressions. Every time someone views a page on your website, you get paid.
A general amount is around $0.2 – $1.5 CPM. So for 1,000 pageviews, you’ll get around $0.2 up to $1.5; hardly a large number, you’d say.
However, what we want to do is to sign up to many of these networks. Around 4-5, more if possible. Some will reject you, most will accept you. You NEED your website to look good, otherwise you’re going to get rejected – this is no different to applying to a regular affiliate network.
This works better with existing blogs because most networks require some kind of minimum impressions monthly – up to around 10,000 or so. Remember, these are impressions, not uniques, so those of you with existing blogs should hit this fine.
If you don’t have an existing blog, you’ll have to start with the traffic purchasing before you sign up to the CPM networks.
If you want suggestions on advertising networks to sign up for, Problogger wrote a great post on it a long time ago. The ones I recommend are AdsDaq, ValueClick, CPX Interactive, Casale and Canep Media (the last one is not included on Problogger’s list.
Getting approved to the networks will take anywhere from instantly to a week. It depends on how their editors are feeling, but if you website looks good and isn’t offensive they’ll approve you.
What you want to do next is place their CPM ads on your website. As many as you can without the website looking too cramped.
What I’ve done is two in the header, two in the footer, two in the sidebar… and if possible one on the homepage between posts. You want these ads placed where they’ll show on every page of your website so that you’ll get more pageviews.
So, you have a website that’s ready to be monetized – what next?
What you want to do next is sign up for Adbrite; you will need a credit card for this.
Adbrite is a legitimate advertising network similar to Google Adsense… it pays worse, but we’re buying traffic, not selling. As Adbrite is legit, you can trust that they are serving real visitors.
What you want to do is use Adbrite’s Full Page Ads.
What Adbrite’s full page ads allows you is to buy real, unique visitors at $0.001 – that’s 1/10th of a cent!
See what we’re getting at here?
You’re getting 1,000 unique visitors for a buck.
If you need a guide about signing up for Adbrite’s full page ads, you can read this eBook. It’s a guide I released under a pen name a few months ago, and it’s a bit rough but it explains what you need to do. Signing up is a breeze, and won’t take you more than a few minutes; getting accepted is the difficult part.
After you create your Adbrite account, and apply for full page ads, your website needs to be manually okayed. Now, they’re not strict, but they don’t let crap websites get through… which is why yours has to look half decent. You might want to ad your CPM ads after you get approved with Adbrite.
You’ll find views coming in thick and fast. Remember that you’re paying $1/1,000 uniques.
On average, I’ve found CPM rates on each network for an internet marketing blog to be around $0.35 – $0.75.
If you’re paying $1 and getting a CPM rate of $0.75, you just need two ads to start making a profit (a profit of $0.5 per dollar you spend). If you have four ads, you’re making a profit of $2 per $1 you spend (taking you back to the Shopkeepers and the eggs scenario).
When you have six ads, profits are even greater.
If you want to be really, really, really evil (I am) you can add 2-3 popups to your page after you have been approved by Adbrite. The great thing is that Adbrite doesn’t really check what you do with your page after they’ve manually approved your domain – so you could redirect your domain to whatever you want (in case you wanted to use it for something else).
You can easily start seeing a combined CPM of around $4-5 with your banner ads and the popups. Remember, you’re only paying $1/1,000 uniques.
If your website looks good (hint – have one of the articles on your website have a catchy title, inspiring people to click through) people will visit other pages, making you money (as you’re getting paid for pageviews, not uniques).
Every single idea on this blog is by combining simple things together to make decent amounts of money. You can make money with this idea – if you put it into practise! Don’t be like one of those people that puts off things and doesn’t do them – take action, reap the rewards.
Here’s the idea in broken down, simple format (because most of you couldn’t be bothered to read the full chunk of text above
1. Create professional looking site with around five articles (existing site is fine, better even).
2. Sign up for CPM networks
3. Place CPM ads on your website
4. Sign up for Adbrite. Read eBook if you don’t get how. You want full page ads. Set a low budget in the beginning, which you can scale later. USA traffic is best, because it pays best.
5. Watch yourself profiting!
- Over here, you may not get the figures I mentioned (of $0.75 per ad), as rates can vary. However, even if you get the lower end of the scale – say $0.35 per ad, you’re still alright. If you have four ads paying you $0.35, and you buy traffic for $1, you’re making $0.4 profit per dollar you spend. Guaranteed. For every $100 you put in, you will make $40 profit… how’s that for a return on investment? None of the crap that goes with PPC like keywords, Google slap, making sales etc.
The great thing about this is that once it is setup, you don’t have to do anything but top up your credit card balance (for Adbrite) and collect cheques. I prefer this to niche websites even
———
Two other ideas to work with this method…
The first one I haven’t tried, but know people that have (a friend has made $5,000 so far doing this) and the second I have tried, but do not do any longer because of lack of sources (see below).
You’ll know that a few Web 2.0 video websites pay you for pageviews of your videos… however, those videos have to be unique.
Create a simple, funny video (pay your little brother / sister $5 to run into a door or something), film it and stick it on video sites that pay. Use the same Adbrite method to get views to your video.
The second idea, is finding websites that pay you for traffic. For example, Product Review used to do this (I made around $500 off them spending $15) but they later stopped paying.
There are a few website that pay you $0.05/unique visitors (maybe slightly less, or slightly more). When you’re getting visitors for $0.001, well – every $1 you put in, you make $50. How’s that for profit margins.
The problem is that nowadays there aren’t any of these kinds of websites that still exist and pay out (that I know of – the ones that do, don’t allow you to buy traffic – for example Jon Volk has an affiliate program, but you can’t pay for traffic); find one of these, and you’ll be banking heavily.
Good luck, feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

Hmm.. The minimum daily budget is $5 for Adbrite. But that is still 5,000 unique views a day for 5 bucks. Can’t beat that.
My question is… wouldn’t it be best to do this for a month before signing up for the CPM programs? Most ask what your monthly traffic number is and if it bounces from 1000 unique visitors to 150,000 uniques, they might cancel your payment.
What do you think?

Jason, you should signup as an adbrite affiliate so we can use your link. You will get 50% of what we pay into adbrite for the advertising.
It’s the least we could do for you showing us how to make money with them.
[Reply]
August 12th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
@ BHW, you can buy traffic from somewhere like DP, but then you dunno if it is legit. Or get a VCC for Adbrite, load it with a hundred or so.
@ CRO, you have to watch, but yeah – you can pause it after it gets to X views. It would be better if you did it for some time, but CPM networks don’t know how much traffic you get until you put their ads on your site, so after you’re accepted to them… you’re good. Once you’re accepted, you don’t really care how much Adbrite take from you as everything is 1-3x+ profit

Guys; two things…
Metacafe pay a CPM of $5 ($5/1,000 views) if you get published. Of course, you’re only paying $1/1,000 views, so you get the idea…
Also…
Voxant Newsroom (Voxant.com) pay a CPM of $0.5 for autoplay videos – something you could use instead of content. Just an idea.

Btw, about Metacafe. They don’t accept every viewer. They have some weird qualifying rates which no one knows about. it includes at least the time the visitor watches your video, maybe rating and something like that. So try it with low amounts of traffic first!

August 12th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
@ Chris, yup. They take a lil time to verify your site and then you’ll start receiving crazy amounts of traffic.
@ BHW, think you need a specific number of pageviews before you can apply for MC’s premium publisher program. As for PTC, if you use a legit site don’t really see the problem… but it’ll be difficult to get more than low XXX visitors daily from them .

Jason… I am wondering. What is the bounce rates for full page ads? I have seen them many a time and always click the skip button. Do you have any stats from any of your sites on this?
I am wanting to know if I should do this with my main blog or create another domain for it. If the bounce rates vs affiliate clicks is good then I might consider it for my main blog to gain more real traffic and spread my name out there.

Jason– a quick one, please: the site I’ll be using hasn’t been updated in a while, so it gets no traffic at the moment. I’m adding content to it before submitting to Adbrite, ie before approaching the ad networks. You threw 10k uniques/month out as the min number that the CPM networks will probably want. Assuming Adbrite approves me, do you think I should wait a month before applying to the ad networks, or how long?
Also, now I’m wondering if my shared hosting will be enough; what minimum hosting specs do you think I should need?
Thanks a lot Jason– very excited here. —Tom
