So the Arbitrage Conspiracy goes live in about an hour now (Noon EST) and I
have received a lot of comments about the teleseminar that you may (or may
not) have listened to last night with Brad Fallon, Mike Filsaime, Eben Pagan,
Yanik Silver, Shawn Casey, Tellman Knudson, and Buck Rizvi.

If you missed the call, you can hear the archive at:

I know you may be on the fence right now and you probably have a bunch of
questions on whether to join or not.

Here are a bunch of the most common questions I have been getting…

****  What is a CPA Network? ****

A CPA Network (or Cost-Per-Action Network) is very similar to an affiliate network. They are companies that recruit both publishers (or affiliates) to market the “offers” of advertisers.  I use the word “offer” here because this can be a sale, a lead (in the form of a visitor filling in their information on a website), a click, or even an impression.

Arbitrage Conspiracy focuses on the publishing side (though there will be some valuable information for those who wish to be advertisers in this program).

CPA Networks are free to join and “actions” are recorded through tracked links that the CPA Network would provide.

Let’s say you sign up and your network ID is 12345.  You would then go through their listing of “Offers” and choose one you wish you send traffic to.  (example) So you choose an offer that will pay you $2-lead whenever a visitor lands on THEIR website (through your link) and fills out their first name, last name and email address.  Yourlink is tracked in the URL itself.

Example:  Your URL could be http://www.<lead-offer>.com/landing_page.php?id=12345

Note that the end of this URL contains ?id=12345, which is your tracking id.  Of course, all CPA networks use different methods to track.

**** When I Sign Up, It Asks for a Website & Company Name? ****

At the beginning, you will probably not have any website or company created.  This can usually be bypassed by creating a simple blog, for example, at Blogger.com.

To set up a blogger.com website takes about 5 minutes.  Then you can create one simple post and you now have a website.

As for your Company, most CPA Networks don’t require it (because it is a possible to be your own sole proprietor), but if they do require it, I would recommend using your name here.

All CPA networks (that I know of) requires you to list a website.  Some may even want to check it, but in my experience, I have never been denied using a Blogger.com blog.

**** Where do I get the traffic?  ****

The beauty of this program is that it relies heavily on Pay-Per-Click programs (advertisements that appear usually on general search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN).  Therefore, the traffic is usually quite immediate and of high quality.

**** Is this just another Google Cash Method? ****

I know this question was a bit eluded to on the teleseminar and yes, there is a “Google Cash” component to this strategy.  Understand, though, that this is NOT the money making component…they use this old Google Cash strategy for testing purposes only.

They also add a few “technical twists” to help by-pass some of the anti-Google Cash rules set up by the Pay-Per-Click (PPC) companies.

(And for those who don’t know what Google Cash strategy is, it is the process of sending visitors directly to advertiser’s website using your affiliate link in the PPCs).

**** Is this going to cost me a fortune in Pay-Per-Click? ****

It can if you don’t know what you are doing.  One thing that is very important about the Arbitrage Conspiracy is managing money and cash flow.  They stressed this a lot in Las Vegas.

Jumping into the PPC-deep-end can cost you a lot of money.  This is why they structure it in such a way to ramp up your expenditures versus profit.  You may start off paying $10 in PPC/day make $20 in sales.  Build on that.  Next week it may be $20 in PPC/day to make $40 in sales.

These guys take it to $10,000 in PPC/day to make $20,000 in sales in a single campaign.  That is $10,000 profit per day.  If you have 10 of these running (like they do), you make $100,000 profit per day.  That is how they do it.

**** So Will I Need a Website? ****

Eventually in the cycle, you will need at least a landing page.  But understand that creating a landing page is MUCH simpler than developing a website.  There are many ways of doing this that require little to no money or technical expertise.

(Remember the Blogger.com blog I mentioned above?  That can be a very successful landing page.  In fact, I have made money using Blogger.com blogs as landing pages myself!)

Of course, the Arbitrage Conspiracy goes into several ways of creating fast, simple, and effective landing pages.

**** So Matt, What do YOU Think? ****

First of all, these guys have not really invented the wheel here, but they have learned how to grease it really well.

The stuff they are going to teach you does work.  I know personally because this is how I have made a majority of my income over the past couple of years.

Of course, I have not scaled it in the way that they have (primarily because I did not know how…and I am currently using these methods to scale my own ventures now!).

There are a few keys to really make this work, though:

- Accept and embrace market research
- Accept and embrace their testing methods
- Be willing to accept some failures (some will work, some won’t - and through testing you will be able to escape without any significant losses, if done correctly)
- Take Action (Most people don’t succeed at strategies such as these because they either don’t try, don’t complete it, or don’t persevere through the road bumps).

From what I saw in Vegas, I think the Pay-Per-Click education of this program is phenomenal.  Having an understanding of CPA Networks is valuable (and under-taught).  And learning how to do proper testing (especially in the world of affiliate marketing) can be EXTREMELY valuable.

The Arbitrage Conspiracy goes into all of these areas in great detail.  And even if you choose not to follow their PPC-CPA strategy, I know you’ll learn a lot about these important aspects that affect all business online.

If you are interested, be sure to check it out 12pm (EST) today at:

I’m sure there will be tons of bonuses, etc. for “fast action” buyers.  (I don’t know that for sure, though).  There will probably also be some kind of guarentee, too, so if you are not sure, you may be able to trial this out for awhile (again, I am not sure about this!).

That is it for now!  I appreciate all of the questions that have been posted on my blog and on the social networks and I hope this helps answer some of the questions in your own mind about Arbitrage Conspiracy.

cheers…matt
