there are lots of people doing this, but they usually mix in bots
at this point I'm not sure what the difference is between click arbitrage and click fraud
pretty good explanation. https://polygraph.net/articles/what-is-the-difference-between-click-fraud-and-arbitrage.html

Years ago earning 100 dollars a day with traffic and pop under was easy and the CPM was not as low as today. Bot traffic has always been used but not with the intensity that is used today. sites like popads and poptraffic you could buy cheap traffic and you could sell it to other networks, you used to invest $5 and they returned $25 $30 and more depending on your strategy.

Still profitable.
Even if you were able to somehow monetize it, if won't take long until your earning gets to the magical number of 0.
Bot traffic is almost impossible to monetize in the context of traffic arbitrage.there are lots of people doing this, but they usually mix in bots

This is very hard for me to argue with such an empty argument. I've been doing is for a long time (before the Babylon fiasco). Never once heard of someone successfully monetizing bot traffic long term.

I know multiple people who have been doing it around 8 years, and making millions every month. you just have to use Microsoft Ads as they don't check for click fraud.

Yahoo (or microsoft, for that matter) is using something called TQ to evaluate the quality of the traffic you send. If your TQ is below 3 for too long you'll be kicked out very fast.
I don't know where you brought this idea from, but if you have a way of botting your way toward an income of millions per month, by all means, go for it.

that's why bots do fake conversions such as submitting leads forms

With PPV networks, even that you get paid with in a CPM basis, the network got to check the quality of your traffic, I'm one of those advertising in PPV , at the end of each day, i generate reports from my tracker for the fraud clicks and bot traffic and send them to my manager, they know i'm not going to pay for that CRAP and so they won't pay you.
The trick some peoples does is that they target new networks with low advertisers portfolios, and they simply suck up every penny from them.

As if conversion rate is the only way they evaluate fake traffic.
This is not 2010 anymore.

I bought a course on the topic but never gave it a try. I will surely try tho. Upload 10 2k words blog posts, apply for adsense and start running fb ads which the link goes "site:yoursite(dot)com"
I would love someone who has tried that way to comment

After reading your comment I suddenly realized that @strontium and I probably spoke of two completely different things.
I was talking about native, display, and search to search feed.

It's all you need to do when using Microsoft Ads.
Please don't continue doubling down..

Microsoft ads for adsense?
Google ads for Microsoft revenue?
I only know bing ads, only the advertisements part, is there also a publisher mode?
