Can You Increase Adsense Revenue by Blogging About High Pay Per Click Items?

    When I first started building sites as more of a hobby than anything else I had no idea about Adsense. Then, I got an account and put a few ads up. Every now and then these ads made a few pennies. One day though, I got one click and it yielded $4.50 for the click. I was happy but confused. Why so much for one click? Then it dawned on me that someone was paying top dollar to get targeted customers to their business site. It makes sens, right? I dug and dug to find out what this click went back to. I discovered that it was a click that came from my main www.colewriting.com site and then I surmised that it was likely from a post I'd made about graduate writing programs, MFA programs in particular. I dug into PPC for keywords through Google's free tools, and discovered that MFA Instraction, etc... has some of the highest PPC because these schools all compete. Thus, blogging good keyword articles gets the ads on the page, and if clicked they pay well. Look at the keywords "lawyer" and "mesothelioma" sometime on Google's keyword research tools. The last time I looked, PPC was around $25. Holy cow! So, Blogging and setting up sites that will get high paying clicks does matter.

    Anyone else have thoughts in this area or experience to share?

    What you said is right, SEO matters, keywords and meta tags. I don't know a lot about SEO, but I do know that keywords in articles and posts and the title of the site matters to the Google ranking bots and for which ads get shown.

    It will yield some high profit for some time, but eventually you will get smart-priced and the targeted keyword will drop in value.

    I would recommend don't target high paying keywords otherwise Google will kill down your revenues by smart pricing

    I had no idea they would basically prevent too many high price keywords paying off for one client. So, you are saying do mid range priced keyword SEO, or maybe mix it up some?

    No. high paying keywords CPC $25~100, they are keywords that you won't get, those keywords worth highly are for internal companies. I mean the ads will only appear on the certain websites according to the advertiser.

    I was getting some clicks that paid 40-80 dollars each but Google banned me with a ctr of under 1%. I never clicked my own ads or had people click them either. They don't want to pay individuals that money.

    Actually its possible.But working with the High CPC keywords is like finding water in Hell. I have worked with Car Loan for couple of months but didn't get good output.

    Honestly I don't think you'll get always $4.5 with such high CPC keywords. The average CPC I've got is $1.5 from such type of keywords so, expect something from $1 to $2 most of the time.
