5 phrases only an arbitrage specialist will understand – translated for «those in the dark»

If you’ve ever heard your friend say, “Money is in burzh, but amorals eat the budget”, don’t call an exorcist just yet. Chances are, they’re an affiliate marketer – someone who makes money through online advertising.

Here’s a breakdown of typical affiliate marketing phrases, so you can at least pretend to understand what they’re talking about.

1. “Money is in burzh, but amorals eat the budget”

👉 Translation: “You can make more money in foreign markets, but Facebook keeps draining my ad budget.”

🔍 Explanation:
«Burzh» (short for «bourgeois») refers to foreign markets, where advertisers pay more. «Amorals» is slang for ad platform moderation systems, which strictly review and often reject ads, even if they follow the rules.

📌 How normal people would say it:
“You can earn more abroad, but local Facebook is like a strict mother-in-law – nothing gets past it.”

2. “Bought an anti-detect, but farming accounts is a pain”

👉 Translation: “I paid for a tool that’s supposed to hide my identity, but creating working ad accounts is still a nightmare.”

🔍 Explanation:
Ad platforms don’t like it when people run too many ads aggressively. To avoid detection, affiliate marketers use special browsers (“anti-detects”) that disguise their fingerprints. But even with these tools, setting up and warming up new accounts (accs) is time-consuming and frustrating.

📌 How normal people would say it:
“I bought an invisibility cloak, but turns out I need to chant magic spells to make it work.”

3. “The trick worked, but then I got banned”

👉 Translation: “I found a great ad strategy that was making money, but the platform shut it down.”

🔍 Explanation:
Sometimes affiliate marketers discover creative ways to make ads super effective. Everything looks good – until the advertising platform notices, decides it doesn’t like it, and bans the account.

📌 How normal people would say it:
“I found a cheat code in a game, but the developers patched it the next day.”

4. “Ran a test – lost 50%, but scaling now”

👉 Translation: “I spent a lot of money testing ads and lost half of it, but now I know how to make a profit.”

🔍 Explanation:
Affiliate marketers don’t just launch ads randomly – they test different versions first. Early tests often run at a loss, but once they find the right combination, they scale up and start making money.

📌 How normal people would say it:
“I ordered random dishes at a new restaurant, half were terrible, but now I know they have great sushi.”

5. “Traffic source is dead, moving to FB with auto-upload”

👉 Translation: “One of my ad platforms stopped working, so now I’m using Facebook and automation tools.”

🔍 Explanation:
An advertising source (“traffic source”) can stop being effective, forcing affiliate marketers to switch to a different method. “Auto-upload” refers to tools that automate ad account creation and ad launching.

📌 How normal people would say it:
“My favorite coffee shop closed, so now I just order delivery instead.”

Conclusion
