What are some of the highest paying keywords for adsense?

Anyone have a list?

Dustin07 · 03-07-2006, 11:57 PM

I think I read somewhere that something along the lines of:

"houston criminal attorneys"

was a VERY high one.

I saw a 1.52 click on my SEO blog. It was either SEO or WiFi / wireless security related. I understand that insurance (health, auto, etc) is a big one.

Nick do you know about the Overture Bid tool or do you have an adwords account ? Both are ways for checking out how in demand keywords are.

I have a tool that lets you check up to 15 keyword phrases against the Overture Bid tool here.

exciting = $0.74
nick = $0.30
Dustin = $0.26 (I'll catch you)
bob = $1.10
dog = $2.25
car = $1.92
velcro = $3.40
computer = $2.13
cat = $2.25
criminal attorny = $3.51

seo = $2.70
sem = $5.01
website = $3.01

*Houston Criminal Attorny = $39.23*

Come on... when you compare that. Each click is what makes it exciting.

What I would love to see is what the highest paying keywords actually pay out in Adsense/YPN. The problem is, that regardless of what the top bids are, you're only going to earn a portion of whatever the top bidder of those who opt in for their ads to be displayed in content. So if the top bidder is paying $34/click, but the top bidder who shows ad in content only pays $1.80/click, you're going to get a portion of that.

Any suggestions on how to find this?

Testing is about all you can do. Since gathering keyword data in this context is a planning activity prior to deploying content it shouldn't make much of a difference as long as you publish sets of content.

If you looking to cherry pick only one or two terms and not test anything on your own sites then I think you have unreasonable expectations.

edit, this one costs even more:

houston criminal defense attorney = $49.93

Oh, I definitely agree with you about testing. I've found a few really great paying words through extensive testing and have been able to capitalize using such methods, however I'm always looking for ways where I don't need to so-called "reinvent the wheel".
