Is $3 per click Possible?

[amstrad]

I read on some site a list of keywords example some keywords was 3$per click. My question is - that is impossible?

Sure, I have heard of clicks earning up in the double digits. What you should be asking is, should you be chasing keywords or concentrating on just building your content.

You will find more in here will suggest the latter.

yeah ....

you can have those

but usualy its between 0.01 and 1.5

you can go up to 20$ and i heard long time ago that some click used to be 500$ ~something related to yahoo

but i dont know if this is true ...

mesothelioma

But why are you even asking, when you've been warned not to chase keywords?

As a rule of thumb, the higher-paying the keyword, the greater the number of pages there are on the web chasing it!

So there's more competition, which reduces your chances of actually making that money.

I have regular high paying clicks, but the high paying clicks are only a small part of the revenues.

High paying clicks occured in many different ad channels.

I have really no idea what the keywords behind had been.

yes i read about mesothelioma . But my clicks are 5% pf 3$.

There is no need to bid so high on publisher sites for mesothelioma. You will have to be far more creative than that.

You've confirmed my point. You're making 15 cents from a "high-paying" keyword.

Would you rather make 15 cents from a supposedly high-paying keyword or 30 cents from an average keyword?

You are going about this in the wrong way. Final advice from me: Write about something that interests you. Make yourself into an expert. The rest will follow.

Lots of advertisers are bidding $3 or more for keywords on AdWords. But that doesn't mean you'll get $3 per click.

Mostly these numbers are the maximum bid and that means nothing. In Overture for instance I've seen a couple of advertisers bidding $10 a click while the next advertiser bids only $0.30. In this case the first advertiser only needs to pay one cent more than the second advertiser, so the real max bid is only $0.31 and not $10.

Most advertisers also tend to bid lower on the content network and there are also other factors like Google's share (30-40 percent?), smartpricing, which ads your visitors click on, seasonality, supply and demand, ...

Let me ask you a question amstrad:

What is it about your website and the traffic that your website aggregates that might make a click coming from your website worth $3.00?

Related question: What makes some clicks worth $.15 and other clicks worth $3.00?

Work on answering those questions for yourself and, if a lightbulb goes off, build accordingly.

While you are answering those questions, for yourself, try this:

Write about what you know, what you are passionate about, and you just might speak authoritatively.
