Traffic arbitrage issue

Hello everyone,

I got my website approved with Adsense couple weeks. In the last the couple days I'm buying traffic from FB and Outbrain to my blog, but results seems to be very bad.
For example, I spent around 10$ on FB, and get back around 2.5$ on Adsense.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm getting low clicks, around 0.02 for US audience, but on the other hand I have 95% bounce rate.
I'm not sure if it's ad placement issue, site issue, maybe account issue (?).

What do guys you think?
Any help would be appreciate..

no one can tell you, keep testing until you find what works

Traffic arbitrage isn't as simple as you tried to make it, or else everyone would earn. Try to do a multipage article type. So 10 things that this clickbait is about. And each thing will be on a page and the user has to click next to get to the next one. This way, one user sees many pages, all of them with ads. This is just one of the many things you will have to change about your method to earn from traffic arbitrage. Another one, a lot more important but harder to get around with, is to find cheaper traffic and a better paying network to get money from.

A lot of things you are not considering, dont run campaigns like that, its not arbitrage, just waste of money.

I think the problem has to do with the audience you're targeting. Make sure you blog niche match your audience niche. This way they'll click your adsense ads more.

All those things that you are not sure about, you have to test and more.
You obviously have to get your bounce rate down, as only 0-10% of the number that stay in your site, will actually click through your ads on average.

aren't adsense limits website showing multiple article type?
the problem is that I did expect to a learning a curve, but I didn't expect to have this kind of results. even if I find a cheaper at network, buying media for 0.01$, i'm not sure if I cover the media fees.
what i'm saying, i'm not sure if the problem is in media buying

are you sure? usually those articles are plain clickbait without any specific subject.

any tips about reducing my bounce rate for this kind of "clickbait" articles? my article headlines pretty much the same as the content, not sure why the bounce rate so high
