GOOGLE ADLIMITS AND BAN: WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF ADSENSE ARBITRAGE FOR BLOGGERS AND YOUTUBERS? SEE THE 4-STEP SOLUTIONS
Two days ago, one of my newly found friends asked me this question.
He said with all the Adsense Adlimits and Ban on the increase right now for Nigerian bloggers, what do you think is the future of Arbitrage Bloggers and Youtubers in 2023, especially for newbies who are still contemplating getting into it or have started already?
Now let me start by saying that Adsense adlimits and account closure or ban didn't start today. It's has always been happening since the day Google started partnering with bloggers and youtubers to serve ads on their contents. It only became more popular because more and more people are now beginning to embrace arbitrage blogging as an alternative to SEO.
While both (arbitrage and SEO) are very good sources of traffic and ultimately content monetization, arbitrage blogging is more of a shortcut to achieving those purposes.
In 2023, more and more safe traffic sources will come up. Many of us have already committed heavy resources in this and are partnering with other bloggers from tech driven countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh and India to achieve this.
If your account is constantly battling adlimits as a newbie, please read on as I share some valuable insights with you.
First, Adlimit is not a life and death sentence. It is simply Google temporarily pressing the pause ⏸️ button on your ads display in order to understand why there's a sudden increase in your traffic, ad clicks and earnings. In most cases, it will be lifted within 30 days, without you even making a significant change on your site.
Their reason for doing this actually, is to protect advertisers who pay them to reach the audience on your site from losing their money to clicks that will not generate any leads for them. This type of clicks is known as invalid clicks or clicks resulting from invalid traffic.
It doesn't really matter where you are getting your clicks from - Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Pinterest and so on, ads limit is a norm. Even if you like convert your links to show Google Organic traffic, it will still come as soon as there's a massive increase in your traffic, clicks and earnings.
Should this discourage you from arbitrage blogging?
Not at all. Instead strategize and re-strategize your pattern.
Let me teach you how to do this.
STEP 1
Let's say you have an Adsense account that have been on Adlimits before, go back and study how long you pushed traffic there before the limit came. Now write it down. Divide that number by 2 and then the result is the number of days you will have to run your arbitrage safely the next month before you are hit with another adlimit on your account.
For instance, let's say you ran ads pushing traffic to your site for two weeks before the last adlimit came. Divide it by 2 and you will have just 7 days to push that heavy traffic, clicks and earnings again before you will be hit with another adlimit.
For most accounts, it can be between 5 and 30 days stretch, depending on the age, strength and natural organic traffic on the account. If you are using a newly verified account, then be rest assured it's between 5 to 10 days stretch!
Now there may be few exceptions where the number of safe days may be greater than half. But to be safer, still use the division method.
STEP 2
Having known the number of safe days you have, decide on when you are going to push the traffic you intend to use in generating clicks and earnings.
I usually recommend third or fourth week of the month, so everything can easily roll over into your balance. Of course they can still deduct a part of your earnings from that balance but it is safer.
For instance in your calendar, mark from 14th to 30th if your safe period is 14 days or 25th to 30th if your safe period is 5 or 6 days. This is when you will push traffic and generate ad clicks on the site. But what about the other days, what are you going to be doing? I'll show you in the next step.
STEP 3
On the days you won't be running ads, generate as much as pageviews as you can on the site to prep the account.
Please note that I said pageviews. Not clicks or earnings. You are allowed to visit your site as many times as you want but not to click on your ads. Adsense allows you to visit your site from the same IP many times, but don't click on your own ads. Let the clicks happen naturally within that period.
To be safer, use a different browser from the one you used in logging into your Adsense account and WordPress admin dashboard or just create another Google Chrome profile for it. I personally create new profiles for this.
You can start with 500 pageviews per day and subsequently increase it.
To easily generate this pageviews on your site, download the extensions called "Linkclump" and "Auto Tab Reloader" from Google Chrome's Extension directory. Learn how to use them to open multiple posts on your site at once and time all the tabs to reload themselves after some minutes.
If done correctly and if your laptop RAM is large enough, you can use these two to open more than 150 posts at once and reload them randomly in 3, 5 or 10 minutes. That's generating over 500 pageviews for yourself within 1 to 2 hours on a stretch. You can also do it intermittently to spread your traffic across many hours of the day.
Interestingly, doing this will also help your CPC in the long run.
STEP 4
Once the date you set for your ad campaigns reaches, push as much traffic, clicks and earnings as you can within those days. Let's say day 1 you target $100 or $1000 depending on the age and strength of your account and you'll do that for the remaining number of days and then pause the ads and go back to giving yourself only pageviews. The adlimit and a few deductions might still occur on your Adsense account but the account will be safe. Sometimes only one of it will occur but by then you must have loaded enough money there to cash out the next month.
You can also run your ads intermittently within this period (today On, tomorrow Off) to slow down how fast the adlimit will come. But don't your expect your CPC and earnings to be stable that way.
Lastly, even with all these measures in place, Google can still hit you when you least expect it. It will be wise if you can have more than 1 account. That way, you get to spread your risks and earnings. Any month that one doesn't pay you, the other one will.
Good luck to you and may you win more in 2023!
