Making Use of the Highest Paying Keywords List
You may have read this list on my site, in Red Herring or in Forbes and thought that it is interesting to know that some keywords actually pay $70+ per click! But can you actually see any of this money yourself? I have, and you can too.
First of all, let me tell you that you will never see a profit of $70/click credited to your AdSense account. These figures are what Google charges their advertisers. You as a publisher will only see a small percentage of this — I have seen upwards of $2-3 / click though, which is very good if you multiply that by 10 or 20 clicks a day. Traffic is the key.
AdSense tries to find the highest paying keyword which is most relevant to your content. The key word here is relevant. If you run a blog about cars for example, there is no sense in including the high-paying words mesothelioma or lasik anywhere; however, writing a blog entry about finding cheap car insurance might bring in higher paying ads. Working in the term “new york car insurance” priced at $56.75/click would also not be a bad idea. Other blog entries on the site about “personal injury” relating to a car accident, may also deliver high paying ads. Be creative, but always remember to stick to the theme of your site; Without an audience to read your blog, there is no one to click your ads.
If you think that one particular blog entry contains higher paying ads than others, use section targeting to divide the different topics on your page. This will force AdSense to deliver ads relevant only to the text within the section tags, focusing on the high paying keywords within.
The next time that you are searching for a topic for your latest blog entry, scan through the highest paying search terms, top down and pick out the first few keywords that relate to the theme of your site. Remember that we are blogging for profit, not for fun!

Thanks for the information. That list is great.
Yeah, that list is awesome. I am doing the same as the author behind this page, trying to make a living online. My AdSense earnings more than doubled after I optimized my site with the right keywords.
Thanks man
Great list. I find it a great tool for increasing the dollar value of my clicks. One of my sites averages at least $1 per click for credit card related content.
Nice work! I really appreciated the tip about segmenting content via sections and allowing AdSense to deliver content-specific ads within my sections. I’ve been looking for an intelligent way to use that functionality. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the tip on section targeting; I must have completely overlooked that info and I will give it a shot to help improve the quality of my ads.
Much appreciated
Thanks for the advice especially that blog needs to have a theme to attract readers. And also pointers to section targeting.
You have found a lot more words than me, but I found a few in the health field and stock market. I admit that legal has the highest paying keys. It seems that if a man is accused of committing stock fraud he will spend what is needed to avoid the slammer.
I wonder if you could sell text links to lawyers?
Good news for me .thank you
Thanks for this great plugin! Works fine – only my old PDA doesn’t understand UTF-8 – most blogs are coded like this – so special characters aren’t displayed correctly.
