What is the benefit if you’re targeting those keywords with very low CPC? There is no revenue benefit at all. It’s important to find high paying keywords (you can simply use the Google Adwords keyword tool to find excellent CPC keywords). I prefer to target keywords with CPC . 50 dollar to 2-3 dollars as there are a lot of such keywords in every niche. If you’re going after the high CPC keywords the number of keywords would be less & competition’d be high. So you should be practical and wise while selecting the keywords. Placing the keyword in your title, including a few times in content (3% keyword density), a heading tag, some font customization (bold, italic, underline), a link and an image with the keyword (alt) would do the basic on-site SEO stuff. Once it’s published do some quick promotion on social networks and bookmarking websites to improve the traffic. You know everything about SEO, so it’s not necessary to explain things.
Well the benefit could be the amount of traffic we can generate. 100 clicks at $0.1 CPC is better than 5 clicks at $1.. So perhaps low cpc keywords are less competitive in google search terms.
I personally feel you should go into the middle range. then the competition is not too bad, but it still pays decent.
Or you can go after the high dollar stuff like insurance, medical, credit, etc. and think outside the box to generate targeted traffic that the big sites aren't getting and you're making $3-$10 per click. I'll take that over 100 clicks at $.10 per click anyday.
are you saying you build your website for adsense? I thought you first build website in the area you can contribute, and then adsense. All this is just discussion, can someone show real working example.
For those high paying keyword content at our site, there will be very less visitors. Since big site already has good content for those keywords. I get good visitors for very low paying keywords only. Out of the 100 articles in my blog only 10 articles get any visitors. So even though I have high paying keyword article I may not get visitors for it.
