Search arbitrage is a method of traffic arbitrage that involves purchasing traffic from social media, native ads, or display advertising, and then selling search ad results to profit from the price difference. This strategy allows marketers to capitalize on the disparity between ad costs and revenue generated from search engine placements.

Recently, there has been significant discussion about search arbitrage within the media and affiliate circles. While this is not a new business model, many find themselves puzzled upon first hearing the term "arbitrage," often associating it with gray market activities. Over the past two months, through conversations with industry peers and researching relevant information, I have compiled this article to provide clarity and insights. I hope it proves helpful for those looking to understand the search arbitrage business better.

What is Search Arbitrage?

Search arbitrage is a method of traffic arbitrage that involves purchasing traffic from social media, native ads, or display advertising, and then selling search ad results to profit from the price difference. This type of search advertising is delivered through parked domains, where the ads are sponsored by other advertisers who pay for placements on platforms like Google, Bing, or Yahoo. If you have previously run search ads, you may have noticed various traffic inventory options available on platforms such as Google Ads and Bing Ads/Yahoo Ads.

Google Ads - Include Google search partners.

Bing Ads / Yahoo Ads – Syndicated search partners.

Arbitrageurs: The Key Players in Traffic Arbitrage
Arbitrageurs are individuals like you who connect all stakeholders involved in traffic arbitrage activities. Your role is to ensure that everyone is satisfied—while also earning some profit along the way.

Ad Networks: Your Source for Traffic
Ad networks serve as your source for acquiring traffic. This could include native media platforms, social media channels, search engines, or any other avenues from which you can generate traffic.

Feed Providers: Your Upstream Source for Redirected Traffic
Feed providers act as your upstream source and are where you redirect traffic. They function similarly to affiliate networks in standard affiliate marketing campaigns, but instead of showcasing a single offer, they display a page resembling a search engine results page (SERP) that features search terms/results related to the original ads in the ad network.
