I have been testing PPC arbitrage for the last few weeks but margins are super tight now. Traffic costs keep increasing and most campaigns die fast after scaling.
Wanted to know from experienced people here:
  • Which traffic source is giving the best ROI currently?
  • Is push traffic still worth it or completely saturated?
  • What GEOs are underrated for cheap conversions?
  • Do you focus more on creatives or landing page optimization?
  • How are you avoiding account bans and maintaining campaign stability?
Would appreciate any genuine tips or case studies from active marketers.

People are still making money with PPC arbitrage, but it’s much harder, thinner-margin, and more algorithm-dependent than it used to be.

Margins definitely feel tighter lately. I think testing different GEOs and improving creatives and landing page experience matters more now than just scaling traffic. Push still seems worth testing depending on the offer, but results probably vary a lot by niche.
 
Margins are definitely tighter than a few years ago, but people are still making money. The difference is that most profitable campaigns now look boring from the outside


As for GEOs, I stopped chasing secret GEOs a long time ago. Usually by the time everyone talks about a GEO, the advantage is already gone. I’d rather test smaller budgets across multiple Tier 2 and Tier 3 countries and let the data decide


And honestly, after the first few days, I spend more time on the landing page than on the creatives. A small bump in LP CTR or conversion rate often makes a bigger difference than another creative test.
 
PPC arbitrage still works if you control the funnel properly.


Most people lose money because they send traffic directly to the offer. We usually use optimized pre-landers first to filter traffic quality and improve CTR before the main CTA.


Push and social traffic can still perform well depending on GEO + vertical. We’ve seen better stability when focusing more on LP optimization, device filtering, source whitelisting, and smart scaling instead of aggressive bids.


Tier 2/Tier 3 GEOs still have opportunities if the funnel is localized properly.


Also account stability matters a lot now — rotating creatives, pacing budgets slowly, and diversifying traffic sources helps.


If anyone here needs quality media buying traffic for CPC/CPL campaigns, we may be able to help as well depending on GEO and vertical. Always open to discussing serious long-term partnerships.
 
Still possible but way harder than before. Tier 1 PPC arb feels brutal unless you got solid funnels and deep pockets. Push traffic still works in some cheap GEOs but creatives burn fast. We’ve had better luck with native lately + simple advertorial style landing pages.
 
I think for account stability, people usually recommend slower scaling, clean compliance practices, diversified accounts, and avoiding misleading creatives. Campaign longevity seems more important now than chasing short-term spikes.

creative testing matters more than traffic source honestly
push traffic still converts in lower tier geos but quality drops fast when scaling
 
Push is dead filled with bots, switch to native (Taboola/Outbrain) and target LATAM or SEA for cheap traffic.
 
Most people losing money now because they scale too aggressive. Small stable campaigns last longer imo.
Landing page matters more than the ad these days. Even tiny CTR bumps can save a campaign.
 
I noticed that campaigns burn much faster after scaling too. interested to hear with GEOs people think are still undervalued for cheaper conversions.
 
People are making money, but you are constantly fighting the platforms. Google and Meta hate arbitrage and are always updating their policies to ban it. If you try it, expect your ad accounts to get flagged or shut down pretty often.
 
Yeah margins are way tighter now, PPC arb isn’t like before tbh.
Push still works but only in certain Tier2/3 GEOs, Tier1 is mostly dead unless you’ve got strong angles.
I’m seeing more focus on landing page testing than traffic source lately, creatives alone don’t carry anymore.
Also accounts are the main headache now, warmups + rotation is basically required or you’re done fast.
 
I think PPC arbitrage can still be profitable if you have really optimized funnels and good GEO targeting, but margins seem much thinner these days.
 
PPC arbitrage still works but only at scale with tight margins, fast testing, and strong monetization channels, small budgets usually get eaten by rising ad costs.

What is a sizeable budget to get into ppc arbitrage
 
Push still works but only with aggressive creative rotation, try RON campaigns on Propush or Adsterra with Tier 2 GEOs like PH, BD, IN, margins are better and competition is lower, landing page split testing matters more than creatives at scale.

A few people are definitely still making it work, but the easy arbitrage days seem gone. you need solid optimization and constant testing now to stay profitable.
