Adsense is an advertising program run by Google for publishers. Publishers who choose to enroll in this program will get to display text, image and more recently video ads on their websites in return for a share of the advertising revenue. Earnings are calculated based on per click. Every visitor to your site who clicks on any of these ads will earn you a percentage of the revenue from that particular ad.

For Google Adwords, it’s a Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising program for advertisers who want to promote their products, services and websites. Advertisers bid for the keywords that should show their ads and indicate the cost they are willing to pay per click. For example let’s say an advertiser pays Google $1 for an ad, whenever someone clicks on the ad, the advertiser will have to pay Google $1 for that click. The $1 will then be share between Google and the publisher’s whose site displays the clicked ad.

So how does Adsense arbitrage comes in?

Well, here is something I heard recently and this is a cause for discussion in this post. As you know affiliate marketing is a form of revenue sharing model between the merchant and the affiliate whom promotes the products or services that merchant is offering. Any sales made translate to commissions for the affiliate. This form of agreement between the merchant and the affiliate is one of the best business models for both parties involve as there are simply no risks for both parties.

Some affiliate programs do have multi tier compensation plans of up to 2 or 3 tiers when you recommend other people as affiliates to these affiliate programs; however please do not confuse them to multi-level marketing although the similarities are quite uncanny similar. As most legitimate affiliate programs only reach up to the 2^nd or 3^rd tier, this is in a way similar to what direct selling companies are offering their salespeople. Likewise, insurance agents and property agents work under this compensation system too, whereby the managers or those who manage the teams of agents under them will get overriding commissions on the sales of these agents.

It is time of the year again to look back at what I have been doing for the past year. Generally, a lot of people would base their achievements on how much they have earned. However, I do feel that it is more important to base your achievements on how much you have had learn and understand during the past year instead. You may not agree on this but I personally feel personal development and the learning process is more important to monetary terms.

Looking back in retrospect, I have to thanks my mentor for feeding me vast amount of experiences, knowledge and skills in return for nothing. I have grown so much and this is partly due to his unselfishness in sharing all that he knew without withholding back anything. His actions have encouraged me to share what I have learnt over the years with others who are willing to learn as well.
