RSOC, AFS, CSA, CSE... Too many names, can you help me understand?

Hello!

I am trying to get into arbitrage using Gooogle Adsense to monetize and buying cheap traffic somewhere else.

CSE worked well until a month ago, now RPMs are very low and it is hard to make money there. I read that the new thing is RSOC. I have Adsense accounts with CSE and also other accounts with "Ads for Search" enabled --> is that CSA? RSOC?

I also saw on the google help pages that they have two types of related search products, one for search results and one for content pages and this last one requires approval of the implementation.

I have many questions!
Is RSOC better in RPMs than CSE? Is CSA with related search for search pages considered RSOC?

Then I read here in the forum (thanks!) that there are other providers of RSOC that are not Google. How can I get ad units from them to place in my websites? is it very difficult or are there out there "self serve" products like adsense that dont require negotiating a b2b contract?

All help is appreciated

RSOC pays better than CSE now. CSA ≠ RSOC - RSOC needs approval. Try MGID/Revcontent for non-Google RSOC (self-serve). Test both
