A question was asked in the forum, if Michael sends people via Adwords to his homepage and then just has a bunch of articles containing Adsense set up on his website, OR if he send people directly to 1 specific web page containing the Adsense ads…

Well - for the arbitrage model - I think I have found I prefer the single page approach - and focus my Adwords resources on that page.
I believe that the more pages you have serving ads - the more likely you are to deplete the ad resource… and - there is no guarantee that your prime ads will be on your front page, particularly if all your subsequent pages are optimized exactly alike.

You could create a campaign in Adwords, then create sub groups under each campaign, one group for each focused group of keywords. Your ads would reflect those specific keywords only, and then you would point each group to a separate page.
In this case, you can make sure each of your pages is optimized for one separate, high paying keyword each. Then serve ‘em up and split out the traffic as many ways as you have pages. The key is not to have overlapping keywords, make each group targeted, and make sure the ads and landing pages are equally targeted for the specific keywords.
In my current layout - I am running two blocks of 336 x 280, side by side, above the fold, with the float alignment set to left align, so that some of the leading text of the article blends in on the right side of the 2nd block of ads.
I am also using 1 link set in the upper right corner to mimic a navigation field. I am purposely NOT using all 3 eligible ad blocks that Google allows, so that the ads that are being served are of a higher quality. Sometimes, less is more.
I can’t tell for sure, but it looks like that link set is getting me somewhere between 5-15 dollars everyday.
As for Article Miner - you are correct; it is no longer being sold.

Brad’s Comments:
As I mentioned before, the Article Miner software really isn’t that important for Google Arbitrage. Yo u just need a way to create OR write up a GOOD article, with truly valuable content. Then slap up some Google Adsense ads, and away you go.

Anyway - its getting late here, about 11:15pm my time… and oh yeah - last update of the day - as of right now - I am up to $142.00 on Adsense, against a $41.00 spent on Adwords.
Have a good night -
Michael

Post Summary:
He prefers the single page approach where he creates 1 targeted Adsense article page and sends traffic to that page only, rather than sending the traffic to his homepage and then filtering it to various article pages throughout the website.
He is running two blocks of 336 x 280, side by side, above the fold, with the float alignment set to left align, so that some of the leading text of the article blends in on the right side of the 2nd block of ads.
He is also using 1 link set in the upper right corner to mimic a navigation field, and says that he purposely is NOT using all 3 eligible ad blocks that Google allows, so that the ads that are being served are of a higher quality.
At the end of the day, he is up to $142.00 on Adsense, against a $41.00 spent on Adwords.
