I have knowledge of a keyword that some firm is prepared to pay USD 100,- per click. Always thought 100 dollar keywords were a myth, but apparently they exist.
Of course this firm might change their mind and bid 'only' a dollar or so tomorrow. And other firms might pay only a few cents for this keyword. So its not really useful info I guess.
But anyways, have you people ever had knowledge of a 100 dollar keyword (no specifics please, I am not asking for high paying keywords) or is this something unusual? Of course I couldn't resist this so I have spend the past few days making a page with content regarding this keyword. No results up to now...
That doesn't mean they will pay that to a publisher.
I know a keyword that showed a $50.00 high bid the big "O".
The next highest bid was $2.46.
On top of that, advertizers who will spend big bucks for clicks from a G search page might only be willing to spend pennies for a click from a content page.
Why is this an "idiotic thread"?
I just asked a question, I am curious about something.
I didn't use faul language, I didn't ask for fast money, I didn't violate the TOS.
Did I insult you somehow with my question?
If that is the case I apologize...
100 Dollar Keyword! They exist...
They DON'T exist, and every newbie who gets into the program has the same idea: find expensive keywords and build pages around them. This get-rich-quick behaviour has discredited AdSense and caused a lot of advertisers to drop it, which costs the rest of us a lot of money.
The fact is that every one of us would be better off if webmasters would simply build their sites naturally instead of becoming obsessed by the delusion of "easy money".
im gonna make a big site all about suing drug companies it will be awesome
Is there a way to find not the top paying keywords but some decent one's?
Also I usually make $2/day with only 200 page impressions. Is there a way to find out what keywords got clicked when I had the same page impressions but made $8 that day with roughly the same clicks.
Thanks for explaining, but you might have jumped to conclusions to fast.
'every newbie who gets into the program has the same idea: find expensive keywords and build pages around them.'
I guess I am a 'newbie' and I certainly don't think my ideas about the Adsense program fit your description. My website was established 7 years ago and I never put ads on it until a few months ago. It took me thousands of hours to build it and thousands of dollars to host it. Since this is getting too much of an expensive hobby I joined Adsense to pay the hosting bills. My main source of income comes from going to the office and being pushed around by the boss. Since my Adsense earnings are relatively low I just wondered if my topic is related only to keywords that are potentially low paying. So I used the Overture bid tool and discovered that some of the keywords related to my topic actually have some very high bids. And that made me curious. As you can conclude from my original post I know that knowledge of 'high paying' keywords might be meaningful in some situations but it is useless most of the time. The knowledge I received made me spend several days to make 1 single page full of content that is better focused on some keywords with high bids. The content itself is totally in tune with the rest of my topic.
As I understand Google advises publishers to experiment with content to see what it does to earnings, as long as you don't make non-content especially made for Adsense pages.
I didn't invent 'high paying' keywords, Google did by introducing a bidding system. It is part of the Adsense program and it is completely on topic in this forum. If people start a thread about this subject, it doesn't mean they are obsessed with it.
I know the issue has been discussed a thousand times, but hey, all of us were 'newbies' one day...
Don't forget that CPM ads could be factoring in that "single click" worth $21.
That is very true in my experience with CPM. I went for a set of keywords using CPM through AdWords. These keywords normally cost me about $0.20 a click through the search with CTR of 5%. I set a daily budget of $50 and CPM of $5 as a test. I estimated this would cost me $0.1 per click. I was wrong. In five hours, I got about 9,804 impressions and 2 clicks or $24.51 a click. This was the end of my CPM experiment.
