I was browsing the web on a "free movie" site with US VPN enabled and suddenly one of the POP up ads redirected me this page

https://clix.best/top-car-insurance-companies-in-the-us/
It seems these guys are buying a good amount of POP traffic from the US and using AdSense they have made a very high CPC page and having ad refresh and all.

Does anyone know how exactly they are doing this?

Anyone can help me?
 
they are redirecting
check out the redirects you can see via google url and many things thats the reason
from 1 url to 2nd and 3rd observe that pattern
 
Seen this trick in many movie and anime streaming websites, its a trick and hard to be detected i assume, since the traffic is legit
 
Can someone explain what they are doing ? They have multiple adsense account and switch them regularly and put content that give the page a high cpc? Also where do they buy their traffic , isn't source the essential part of such a technique ?

Nice find, thanks.

Can any of you help in figuring this out?
 
What tricks do you mean?

I can only see this is a simple media buying campaign, they buy cheap pop traffics and then direct the traffics to the high CPC adsense page, any other hidden magics I missed?

Btw, if you want to see more powerful cases, just check those big media outlets like nytimes, washingtonpost, etc, and those bastards doing arbitrage everyday via native ads -> carousel like adsense sites.

No that's fine, I want to know how they are getting ad publishing accounts approved in this site and how are they using Ad manager to run ads on that page like this.

I am not expert, but if I am right, you can nearly approve any sites similar to that one approved by adsense, adsense is really easy to get in, you should have no problem to get the account.

If you mean how they show tons of adsense ads on page, its auto ads, adsense's one of default features. I can't see other ads, only adsense auto ads. The more contents on a page, more ads units it will show, unlimited....

These guys are using google ad manager or similar ad server and doing this with many many ad networks, just check their ads.txt file.

No that's fine, I want to know how they are getting ad publishing accounts approved in this site and how are they using Ad manager to run ads on that page like this.
Checkout their ads.txt entries. They are using a bunch of networks instead of their own AdSense account.

These networks have Invalid Traffic (IVT) filters that prevent ad fraud and are connected with major Ad exchange.

IVT filters protect network accounts from getting banned and if you are in well terms with the networks they will probably ignore your media buying process as along its real human traffic.

If you have massive traffic and genuine content, you will get emails from these networks every day.
 
Seems like a simple traffic arbitrage site, buying pop/push traffic from propellerads etc and sending them to high cpc content with ad server.
 
Which ad partner he is using is he using EZOIC with Adsense or mediavine
 
Can any of you help in figuring this out?
As far as I've seen, the websites are ranking in the movie streaming niche,
So, when you click the button to watch a movie, you will be redirected to a page with all content about loans or any other high cpc niche, where the movie is included,
So as a template, they will be the same content/text in a page with the requested movie/episode,

The trick is being done via PHP, simply a page template with high CPC content,
the traffic is these people watching the movies/anime/series, etc...
So, AdSense would not be able to detect what's the video is about, but it will detect the content and set the CPC depending on it,
In the other hand, the visitors will be watching their movie and some will click the ADS,

What can even be better here, is that the time spent by each visitor is more than enough to keep things clean,
Also, the traffic is fully legit and nothing of automation, which makes it even harder to detect,

Easy trick, a lot of cash
I expect this to be solved by google in the near future
