Arbitrage Conspiracy - I'm for hire!!! :)

This Is From Gauher Chaudhry

I have received a number of emails from my readers
and customers regarding the launch of "Arbitrage
Conspiracy" slated for today at 12:00 pm EST.

I was invited to the $10,000 Las Vegas show but
didn't go because it was too short notice for me.

I have not seen the course, so I can't comment on
the calibre of the material.

Therefore this email is not an endorsement (you
will NOT see any affiliate link), but rather my
opinion based on the number of emails I have
received asking my opinion and the forum thread
that has started in the PPCF members area.

What you will read is not hype, but rather the
truth. Sometimes the truth can get distorted
during these rather large product launches.

I was well aware of this course almost 3 months
ago because the guys behind it, Aymen and Emmanuel
are both Pay Per Click Formula and Pay Per View
Formula owners.

In fact, Aymen and Emmanuel met each other at my
PPV Formula seminar last December in Toronto.

Most of don't know this, but Emmanuel goes by the
username OSR in the forums and you can spot him by
the quality posts he has made in the forums.

A lot of you are asking whether the numbers being
thrown around (i.e. $100K net profit daily) are
legitimate.

Yes.

I know these numbers sound absurd, but it really
is quite possible to make these type of profits.

How do I know this?

Because for some of the CPA networks they were
driving the traffic to, they had signed up under
my REFERRAL link so I was getting anywhere from a
2-3% percent commissions.

I was stunned when I started receiving huge
referral checks.

I called them up and said, keep doing what you are
doing because I like the nice large referral
checks for doing nothing.

I met up with Emmanuel at the CX Digital affiliate
advisory meeting in October and he further
explained to me how they were scaling their
campaigns to get massive results.

I told them that when they were ready to launch, I
would be their number one affiliate.

But that will not happen because I have not seen
their material and therefore can't endorse their
course in all fairness.

Now, when the Arbitrage Conspiracy report first
came out, I was a little bit taken a back when
they started revealing the Alexa technique.

Now, I don't claim to own the concept of bidding
on domain names, but I know that the strategy of
harvesting related domains from Alexa is only in
PPC Formula.

So I sent an email to both Aymen and Emmanuel
yesterday before their teleseminar asking why PPC
Formula material is being revealed and how closely
related their material is to PPC Formula and the
subsequent release of PPCF 2.0.

They both immediately called me and explained that
their was no bad intention to use my material and
that their course is very different.

Aymen told me he tried to reach me before they
released the report for review, but I was in
California for the PPC Classroom event.

Did I believe them?

Yes, because both are stand up guys.

It was Aymen who lent me his tech team and servers
for months to host some of my web sites and he
NEVER charged me for this.

Aymen has been gifted with great intelligence. He
is only around 25 years old, but talks like he has
50 years experience under his belt.

No joke.

Aymen actually called my the day before the Las
Vegas event and went over the highlights of his
presentation with me to get my opinion.

I told him him that thatthere was no way he would
be able to cover everything in one day.

Emmanuel has shared with me insider tips and even
sent me some of their PPC tools that were created
in-house.

So while I can vouch for their credibility, I
*still* can't say anything about the course
itself.

Aymen did indicate to me on the phone call that
PPCF members were not the targeted audience and it
may not be a good fit because of some overlap.

But I *may* have to disagree.

*If* the course itself can provide some insights
into how they can scale up so large, then it may
provide some good value to PPCF members.

The course is not cheap. It will cost around
$2,000. If you have not done anything with PPC
Formula when you bought it, then you will probably
not do anything with Arbitrage Conspiracy either.

Brad Fallen is behind the launch as Aymen and
Emmanuel needed a top guru to promote them because
they were not known to the IM world until this
launch.

I almost feel sorry for Aymen and Emmanuel because
it doesn't seem like they have full control of
this launch.

The Arbitrage Conspiracy launch has gotten too
hypey now with almost all the major gurus
promoting it.

While there were a few people who paid $10,000 to
attend the seminar, all the gurus (maybe 95% of
the group) got in for free.

So if some guru who is promoting this says he/she
paid $10,000 to attend, chances are he/she is full
of s**t.

Now, most of these gurus who went to Las Vegas for
the seminar were dumbstruck by the presentation.

And they should because most don't do PPC.

They sell their own products and have email lists.
So this was all new to them. But they were there
because Brad Fallen wants them to promote the
course.

If this was an event on how some guy was making
$100K a day with PLR info products, then people
would also be freaked out right now about PLR
rights.

It is really that simple.

I heard from other heavy PPC marketers who did
attend the seminar say that they only got a few
nuggets of info, but not a whole lot.

So your response to the Arbitrage Conspiracy
course will really depend on how advanced you are
with PPC.

Aymen and Emmanuel run a very advanced operation
with staff and there is quite a bit of technology
involved.

If you think they live the affiliate lifestyle
where they work for a few hours and than surf the
waves the rest of the day, then you are mistaken.

Both are workhorses and sometimes only sleep a few
hours a night.

It has required A LOT of hard work and dedication
to achieve these staggering results.

There are only a handful of affiliates that I know
that have received these incredible results and
the only other friend I know pushing similar
numbers is Amish Shah of the Hexatrack fame and he
has indicated that he has a team and also uses
advanced technology.

So it is not as simple as buying the course and
you will be making $100K a day in a few weeks.

You have to have a passion for this PPC to CPA
stuff in order to make it work successfully.

The main reason for the Arbitrage Conspiracy
course is for a lead-in to their own CPA network.

So that is my take on this entire launch.

I really have nothing to write about the course
itself because I don't know anything.

Use your own judgement.

Best wishes,

Gauher

This is just a warning to steer far and clear from a promotion
going around the IM industry called The Arbitrage Conspiracy.

I used to be heavily involved in CPA marketing and arbitrage...
This is not an easy business, it used to be extremely profitable
for me. I was making over $200k some months.

I got out of it for a reason ... the reason is simple ... It's too
competitive. There are only a "finite" number of products that work
through this strategy and 10 times out of 10, the products that DO
work already have someone running arbitrage so then you have to
compete with that person which lowers your profit margin.

Multiply that times 3 - 5 people and you're having price wars for
pennies... Not worth the effort anymore. There are tools that you
can use to optimize your performance and locate areas of untapped
opportunity so be prepared for deep research before getting into
arbitrage.

Another issue is that you need a lump sum of cash to finance your
PPC costs for 30 - 60 days before you get paid by the major CPA
networks. Be prepared to have a significant sum of cash on hand to
bankroll your exploration and research. It will likely cost you a
good bit of money to discover areas of opportunity.

NOW ... with this guy releasing The Arbitrage Conspiracy it will
make matters worse. More competition, lower profit margins, etc.
When I was making good money with arbitrage back in 2005 - 2007,
nobody knew what I was doing and I didn't care to tell anyone about
it either. You have to immediately question why a person
"supposedly" making 100k per day would want to ruin it for
themselves for the peanuts they will receive from unsuspecting
IMers. My guess is that they came to the same conclusion I did ...
you could probably make more money selling information about
arbitrage than you could practicing it.

Now multiply that times the number of gurus promoting it and you
could get a fair idea of how quickly the release of this material
will ruin the industry.

This is just a heads up...
