Traffic Arbitrage

I am very excited about this concept! Arbitrage is a low risk strategy employed to earn money in all kinds of industries. It is not really investing - but rather it is the simultaneous purchase and then sale of the same (or very similar) commodity, stock, etc. Of course the concept is you pay a little less in one market and sell it for more in another.

For example: You might take advantage in small discrepancies in exchange rates for currencies. Through some real time quotes, math, and quick action - you may be able to trade your US dollars for Yen - then your Yen for Mark - then your Mark for US dollars and end up with a small profit.

This same thing is done with sports betting, option prices, commodities, etc. It is perfectly legal and actually provides a couple benefits to the market place - namely liquidity and price correction.

Now you can trade the 'pay per clicks' and earn a similar, low-risk profit! Advertisers pay companies like Google and Overture for traffic in an auction style 'pay per click' format. You can buy clicks from one company - and earn clicks from the other for a small profit.

If this is a little beyond your current skill set - one affiliate company gives you the option to purchase shares in his arbitrage program. Here is an excerpt from his page:

"Naturally past performance is not necessarily a guarantee of future performance, but I am confident of a continuing profit.

Therefore I have decided to offer you the opportunity to be involved in this and earn some money yourself, with no effort at all on your part!

I have created an Arbitrage Co-op - with 200 shares available for the November Co-op. These shares are $25 each, and only MPAM members may purchase them, although you can of course buy shares on behalf of someone else.

I do not make any guarantees on returns, but on the basis of previous performance September was 171% return and October 215% return.

At the end of November I will deduct 8% from any profits to pay for PayPal fees, hosting and bandwidth and my time managing the co-op, then the remaining profits will be divided by the number of shares."

Notice the caveat - only MPAM members. But this is easy enough! Click the link above to join for free. I personally subscribe to the 'platinum level' for a monthly fee - and receive at least 10 times back in benefits and income.
