What Is Traffic Arbitrage
Glossary
Traffic arbitrage is about buying cheap traffic and sending it to an offer where you earn more per conversion. The difference between what you spend and what you earn is your profit.
How it works:
- Pick an offer — say, a casino that pays $50 per deposit
- Run ads — on Google, Facebook, push networks, etc.
- Users click, go to your landing page, and sign up
- You get paid for each action
Spend $200, earn $500 — that’s $300 profit.
Where it’s used:
- Casino & betting (iGaming)
- Dating offers
- Nutra (supplements, weight loss)
- Crypto, finance
- Sweepstakes, eCommerce
What you need to succeed:
- Skills to test creatives and funnels
- Knowledge of traffic sources and ad policies
- Use of trackers, proxies, and anti-detect tools
- Quick reactions to bans and traffic drops
Cons:
- High risk — you can lose money fast
- Ad account bans are common
- Takes time, skills, and budget
Example: You spend $200 on push ads. Get 10 deposits at $50 each. Total: $500. Profit: $300.
