I am really behind on things, so I am not even sure if the rumor of Google closing down on so called arbitrage websites materialized or not. But evidently the rumor itself was enough to spook some big players in the industry- one wish is that Jeremy would explain and maybe show few examples of “good” arbitrage websites so the rest of us could have a better understanding what Google AdSense arbitrage is. The times I have come across arbitrage websites was while wearing shoes of an advertiser, and these sites really suck.

You can have an understanding of things without actually doing them. You don’t need to get hit by a stick constantly just to understand what the pain is.

I am happy Google is moving this direction, even if it is only rumor. There is of course very simple way to avoid getting ripped by arbitrage websites- turn off your “content advertising” this will ensure that no greedy arbitrage publisher will be able to show your ads.
