Make Money Online with Link Arbitrage
You must have head the word “Adwords Adsense Arbitrage” a lot in the past, where people used to buy clicks from Adwords, to some high paying niche, and used to make more money (then they used to spend Adwords) with Adsense on the site. So that was the time when some people have really made some huge money.
But have you ever thought of making money with link arbitrage? Well, what is link arbitrage?
Ok, as of today there was no such term as link arbitrage, but I have just thought of this term to describe a type of arbitrage where you sell links for more and buy links for cheap.
How does that work? How can we make money out of it?
Let me explain you this concept with the help of a real life example.
I have a desktop wallpaper PR4 site which has around 40,000 pages listed in Google. Most of the pages have a PR (at-least PR1). But it is a niche where advertisers don’t like pay good money. But still the site is famous and people do visit it a lot.
I have another finance related site which is not very old and has PR2 as of today. It has around 200 pages. I need back-links for this website. I also need back-links to the internal pages of the website.
So, I the concept of use link arbitrage. I sell links on my PR5 desktop wallpaper site through TNX. Per month TNX which makes make me around 460,000 tnx points (equivalent to $400+). I use TNX to sell links because it is really very effective is selling links on lower page PR sites (PR0 and PR1 pages).
Out of these $400, I use around $150 to get 500+ low PR back-links (Pr1 and PR2) to my finance site from TNX itself. Then I go to back links and spend the other $150 to buy “11 PR5 home page links” and “13 PR4 internal page links” from finance related sites.
Now in the process, I am getting 11 PR5 links, 13 PR4 links, hundreds or PR1 and PR2 links from finance related sites and also saving $100/month. What I am giving is 2 links on each page of my PR4 desktop wallpaper site.
For some of you who don’t have an idea about the relative values of PR Here is some info to help you:
1 PR4 link is equivalent to 166 PR1 links
1 PR5 link is equivalent to 16,803 PR1 links
1 PR6 link is equivalent to 92,414 PR1 links
1 PR7 link is equivalent to 508,277 PR1 links
1 PR8 link is equivalent to 2,795,522 PR1 links
Do don’t you think I am doing great by getting high PR back-links and also making money in the process? If you think this is great, than go and grab such opportunities (TNX & back links)before they are saturated. You can also use text link ads but its difficult with them to sell links.

Hmm…nice idea but is it useful for those who are having only a single blog or website?

How brilliant !

Could be a good idea, but Google gets smarter fighting against paid links - you are likely to lose your old website PR in the short run.

I suspect that these days anybody have “just one” blog or site..:) Am I right?

Hey Jim-
Excellent post. No, most of us have several blogs setup on several different niches to take advantage of this idea.
Had not heard about this before.
Very interesting concept.
Thanks,

Interesting post Jim. I wonder where did you get those relative values of PR numbers?
Zak Show responded on 10 Jul 2008 at 3:03 pm #
Nice tips and good strategy. I do some of these stuff to link between my sites that they are not hosted in the same host.

Interesting, but how do you know a PR 7 link for instance, is worth 508,277 PR1 links?
I will look into this. God knows my PR0 site needs help QUICKLY
JK Swopes responded on 10 Jul 2008 at 3:57 pm #
Good stuff….I have never dealt in paying for links and such, but I images this process could be very helpful in getting the links you need.
Very simple process you laid out, but very effective.

hey Jim nice post… just a small query…
What if some one’s blog does not have high PR rank?
Hitesh responded on 10 Jul 2008 at 6:37 pm #
I think you can wait for PR @ Ankit.
Jim Karter responded on 10 Jul 2008 at 9:01 pm #
Numbers for those PR relationship is taken from a well known source at http://www.compar.com/infopool/articles/PR-calculation.html
It is quite old but still effective.

Jim, how in the world do you get 40K pages of wallpapers indexed by google? Original content on each page… but how?
I have multiple sites, not just the free blog linked above.
Sadek Jake Alam responded on 11 Jul 2008 at 4:15 pm #
well, nice concept. but about the PR, i used to know it being logarithmic, meaning
10 PR0 = 1 PR1
10 PR1 = 1 PR2
10 PR2 = 1 PR3
10 PR3 = 1 PR4
10 PR4 = 1 PR5
10 PR5 = 1 PR6
and so on.
and whats you tip for a lowranked site, for e.g PR3?

Did you buy all those 500+ links in one go ? or you did it slowly as you do always.
Alex Newman responded on 12 Jul 2008 at 2:02 am #
Hi Jim,
It’s really interesting to me that you have just invented a term for a new type of arbitrage - as this is something I did a couple of weeks ago too!
In my case it was “scarcity arbitrage” - profiting from things that are extremely common in one place and rare in another.
This can be something simple like digital photographs of a certain location. There are all kinds of stock photo companies online now that allow you to create your own library pages and provide an e-commerce system that allows you to make automated profits when people buy downloads.
I’ve written about this and a lot more besides in my new 330-page eBook, I’d love to email you a free PDF copy Jim, let me know if this interests you (you can check out the sales page in the link from this comment).
Jim Karter responded on 12 Jul 2008 at 5:14 am #
@BryonB, backlink to internal pages is the key.
emha responded on 14 Jul 2008 at 9:04 am #
great post jimmy, but the problem is what if I don’t have any site with good PR, must I invest to buy it first ?
then for alex newman Im very interested with your next ebook about “digital photography” it seem new and unique. let me know if you have release your ebook. mukti.is@gmail.com

This seems like a very smart strategy, but the challenge is getting the initial PR4 or PR5 sites in the first place. Unfortunately it sounds like a rich guy saying all you have to do is spend $100,000 buying blah blah blah and then you can flip them for $500,000. How does this help the common man get to the rich man status? Good post none the less.

Sounds good in theory, but wouldn’t it be pretty complicated for most people to do? IF it works for you then good on you, but I prefer not to pay for links incase Google penalises my sites.
