Is it good idea to go for keywords, which are high paying and have tough competition or go for keywords with less competition. At least you are guarnted for some success in low paying keywords. Thx
That depends if you rely on search engine traffic. For example, if you have tonnes of repeat visitors writing about high paying and competitive topics would be best but if you want search engine traffic writing about less competitive topics can be more effective. Or to achieve the perfect outcome you would use both high paying and low competition keywords.
It doesn't show any thing for "internet marketing" however it show some results for other keywords. At least it gives some idea about the pricing....thanks for this link
Yeah, the database is somewhat limited with only 100,000 keywords. I am considering re-writing it to use the Adwords API, hopefully that would be more effective.
How often do these get updated? I'm quite impressed and Its what I'm looking for. PS: Are those per click rate?
It's the absolute maximum CPC, most people won't receive a click at the price listed but the values are still good figures to work with. If the CPC listed by the tool for 'email marketing' is $20 and the CPC listed for 'sales marketing' is $10, the CPC you receive for 'email marketing' will be double that of 'sales marketing', even if it's only $1 compared to $0.50. There are variables which effect your CPC like Google's commission, smart pricing or bad ads, the figures listed are what the highest paying advertiser for each keyword is paying. It is not updated often at this very moment, but if I can re-write it to use the Adwords API it could be dynamic (+database) rather than database driven.
Wait so if one of the keywords say $50 we wont get $50 obviously. THe $50 is just the highest bid for that word? I mean if we were to get lucky and have the $50 ad shown on our site and someone clicked on it, how do you think it would do? Great tool!
How did you come up with the list of these keywords and the rates? Can you confirm that this is an accurate list?
It is quite accurate but the figures are absolute maximum CPC, certainly not average CPC. The figures come from Google Adwords, but the values are stored in a database at the moment rather than being pulled dynamically from their API.
