    Hi Dethfire,

    Maybe you should use the feature where Google Adwords actually suggests certain keywords for you (based around the word physics).

    I do believe those search strings will be low values though.... which is a good thing for you, because you won't have to spend money on google adwords each month, and you will more than likely be able to achieve #1 in the rankings for these keywords.

    I like how when I search for "physics" on google half the ads are for Free Psychic Readings. How in the world does google accept that but not an actual site that deals with physics.

    You got to understand how the whole thing works.

    First of all, bidding on a single-word keyword is not a good idea. Neither is searching using one word. You have to be more specific and "physics" is not very specific.

    Next, most advertisers don't use PPC very effectively and bidding too generically and worse, using only broad match. That is what's happening when you search for "physics". The system figures you might mean "psychic" (it's the same letters in a different order) and so displays all those psychic readers bidding on the one-word "psychic" as a broad match.

    If you try to buy the term clearing Google Adwords repeatedly shows the term cleaning.
