    I would like to know if anyone still gets 5 cent clicks for their ads or are those days long gone.

    I get tens of thousands of 1 cent clicks. There is an abundance of 5 cent inventory out there.

    Wow, that's good to hear. I guess profitable one cent clicks do take an enormous amount of research.

    My question is, once you find the once cent clicks, don't they have to be related to the product you're selling? I guess they don't get any cheaper than one cent...

    Did you get them from content or search network?
    If from content, do you get them from site-targeted or keywords?

    I also see that you're running some tests on site-targeted PPC. Are you able to get 1 cent clicks from that as well?

    i got 5 cent clicks for one of my campaigns, though google seems to jump it from 5 to 10 cents depending on its mood.

    You will get 1 cent clicks galore from myspace related sites and gaming sites. sometimes you even get clicks that don't pay anything lol.

    5 cent clicks are never good to hear for a publisher >=|

    More content than search, but there are still some opportunities in search.


    Both.

    A very, very, very small amount...like less than 0.50% of the clicks I've received. They were on sites that I ended up dropping anyway.

    Is there a way to find out what each keyword cost per click, without going through setting up a campaign first... etc?

    Yes, select the tools->keyword tool and enter your search term. click the drop down menu and choose "cost and ad position estimate".

    A number of my campaigns have £0.01 minimum bids, and most have minimum bids of £0.03 or less (even if I don't usually bid that little) - it depends entirely on your minimum bid quality score.

    So if you have a very good ctr, a great landing page and relevant advert text, then you've got a good chance of getting a low minimum bid.

    If you are in a competitive niche low minimum bids don't matter. If there are 40 advertisers all with perfect quality scores and all with the same minimum bids, the only way to get a decent position is by bidding higher.

    I haven't gotten one cent clicks but I have gotten five cent clicks. They tend to be for longer keywords, like 3+ words in length.

    But now that I heard about the one cent clicks I might try to see what I can get..

    I do MASSIVE keyword research using my various keyword research tools (all of which I have in my Wiki under keyword list building) and I have yet to find highly profitable AdWord keywords that are less than $.20 a click...

    Don't dispair for not finding five cent keywords. You could always bring the costs of costly keywords down with a bit of optimisation.
