Anyone using "click arb" as a business model still not deactivated by google? Just curious, I do not use this business model, but I have heard of the crackdown, not sure if it got them all, or just certain genres.

The deactivations don't occur until June 1st.

I suspect the crackdown on arb is a work in progress and that there are many developments yet to come. It is far too early to make any assessments as to its ultimate impact. We will have a much better feel for what has really happened in a few months time.

Agreed. Anything the current algo missed will probably get reported. In the past, the assumption was Google didn't care, so it was rarely if ever reported. That's about to change.

I'm 8% paid visitors and still running.

However, only 30-50 visitors of the 2000 advertise visitors land on pages with ads - don't know if that'll make a difference or not.

Almost all of ads are directly for consulting services or products I sell. The rest are indirectly related or 'cute' hobby related information pages.

sailorjwd,
By the sounds of it I don't think you are one of the targets in Google's sights. I would imagine that google is targeting more of the hardcore arbi/mfa rubbish.
