One dollar clicks!

johnegood · 08-10-2007, 04:31 AM

A friend of mine, lawyer, told me last night that he was spending $1.25 per click and about $7K per month. That seems amazing to me. I pay about $.10/click.

I got excited and grabbed four domains last night in his area. I'll see if I can fill them up with content, send some links, collect me my share of $1.25 clicks.

Do one dollar clicks sound like alot to anyone else or am I the only one who has been living on a tight budget?

$1 clicks are very good actually. Lawyer, attorney, mortgage these niches are pretty much hot (also mesothelioma) and pay good. Just do some math, 100 clicks on those $1 clicks and you got the check for this month

BTW, my lawyer friend said he spent about $7K/month from which he was generating about $14K in revenue. He was a little vague when it came to breaking it down by amounts per client (and conversion rates and LTV of customers)

I know some that spend $10/click. $1 is not that high at all.

johnegood · 08-21-2007, 04:10 AM

Toddw, what sector or keywords or other hints can you give us to where the gold is hidden? (I mean, where people are paying $10 for a click). I'd like to go get me some.....

We are paying £9 ( $18 ) for top keywords for some of our clients and they are spending over £50k per month. It's not really a big deal. As long as the return is there from the advertising spend, it is well worth it. They bring in near £500k in business per month.

Yeah there are alot of keywords where people spend $5-$10 for click, but google and yahoo never share this revenue with us webmasters.. maximum i earned was $1.78/click

sem4u · 08-22-2007, 12:21 PM

I know someone who used to manage an account worth £250k / $500k a month. Think things like finance...

johnegood · 08-23-2007, 07:38 AM

WOW! Maybe I'll start building some websites for natural search aimed entirely at the high value crowd. Once I get some traction, I'll contact the people paying for clicks and see if they want to buy/advertise direct and cutout the middle man (Mr. google).

Has anybody tried this? Would it work?

zibblu · 08-23-2007, 08:43 PM

It's interesting the topics that bring in big money for me (adsense wise.. also affiliate in the first case)... I'll pass along a couple out of the goodness of.. whatever it is:

- printer ink
- frontline (flea medication)

nks · 08-23-2007, 09:02 PM

Looks like some are just willing to spend a lot more than usual....

johnegood · 08-24-2007, 05:53 AM

Well, as long as we're sharing..... But, remember that I'm the one who thought dollar clicks were a big deal..So a "big" click for me is when you get more than half a dollar per click....

Big Earners for me (per click)

University online education
link removed

Medium earners for me (per click)

Middle school & elementary education
music education
art education

Tiny earners per click (ie pennies per click)

Learning games
Anything related to link removed SEO & Online marketing

Go figure....

DennisBerc · 08-24-2007, 06:12 AM

There are exist terms people paying about $13 per click

If you look at their financial statements you will be able to see numbers that support that they still payout more than 50% to publishers. It may be that different topics pay better with different audiences. My best topic is a technology that many people know about and my traffic comes from India. Don't ask what technology, I won't tell.

Quite an interesting thread here, I guess I should be getting in on this and start deploying some sites in these sectors.

thewebmasterstool · 10-05-2007, 11:11 AM

Thats a very high payment. Personally I think its mad

Imagine someone with a high CTR. They can make loads if they have a very closely well optimized related site.

I would love to get an advertiser like that

johnegood · 10-05-2007, 01:11 PM

I have done a fair amount of google ppc as an advertiser (I earned a google refrigerator last year - google it to learn more). I've always made money by keeping my bids low. I tend to average something in the low teens per click.

But then, i have a conversion rate on visitors of half a percent and only bill them $19.95 (a month).

gcynet · 10-05-2007, 01:58 PM

When I was in the online retail business, paying $4-$5/click was not unusual for the product line we were in, especially for the most common phrase. I have a site for that product line right now and the most I've seen were a little over $1/click in adsense.

theawristocrat · 10-05-2007, 02:23 PM

sites about lawyers - very high paying niche

scottdizzle · 10-05-2007, 09:29 PM

I collect links for $1 a piece lol... www.linkvertise.org/purchase-link.php - more info www.linkvertise.org/faq.php <--- find out all the details

Thought it was ironic you guys were talkin about it.. I was schemin this idea for months. I'd pay $1.. but I already have traffic. I just want to help some people out and reinvest in more quality traffic!
