I feel sorry for the poor guy paying $82 bucks for one fresh pair of eyeballs. Then again, I guess the guy isn't poor if he can afford that much for one click. That, or he forgot to put a decimal in front of the "82" when he was setting his bids. Now that's a nightmare if I've ever heard one. EDIT: I'm being facetious. If I EVER see proof that is backed up by more proof (like a tangible check) that someone received $82 for one click on the content network, I'll drop out of college.
You won't get the $82 click. As others have said, Google only pays you a percentage of what they charge the advertiser. Plus, you'll have to have a super optimized site that ranks high to get the maximum amount. The user will have to search Google for "DWI Austin" and end up on your optimized page. Then they must click on the highest paying ad. Since they have several choices to pick from, the chance of them clicking the highest paying ad is slim. Also, if they come to your site by Searching "DWI Austin Texas", then that keyword will pay less than "DWI Austin". As for why advertisers pay that much per click, think about it. Do you know how much they will make off someone wanting to get out of a DWI charge? Thousands upon thousands. Same for the loan industry. They can afford to pay for high dollar clicks because they will make a small fortune off each loan they sign. TxDon
Haha this list is one of my old lists that I compiled years ago. I made it freely available on several marketing websites. Here is the deal with the keywords on that list. When the list was originally compiled those were some of the highest-paying keywords around. I am sure that some of them still are, however there is a quirk to consider. If you are designing websites to target a particular keyword or group of keywords - MFA - your site and possibly your entire account risks being "smart priced". That means your share of click revenue is severly reduced since it is essentially spam traffic that does not convert for the advertiser. Smart pricing is a reason why many forums and other sites with user-generated content do not earn as much with AdSense as they did before. That said, if you create a genuine website that focuses on a group of high-paying keywords, and the traffic from that site results in conversions for the advertiser, your eCPM will go thru the roof.
Does Google auto-flag this sort of traffic, or does the advertiser complain? Does anyone know what triggers smart-pricing?
Yes, it is primarily based on the AdWords conversion counter that most smart advertisers are using. It's a piece of code that is inserted on the advertisers' sites to allow them to track the effectiveness of a given campaign. AdSense publishers, as well as Google's own adwords, do auto-adjust the amount charged to the advertiser based on this performance. Advertisers are also able to dispute clicks as fraudulent or "junk", which would then be left to Google to decide whether or not to credit the advertiser for the clicks.
In my experience (I have sites and some click traffic on keywords in the same domain as some on this list) is that it's at least a factor of 20 out. I have seen $2-$3 a click on occasion however $82 is extremely unlikely. As a couple of other have said you won't get the maximum bids possible because Google smart bids to give advertisers the best rate depdning on competition for the keywords in question. In addition, content network winning bids are signficantly lower than the search network. Sorry dude, you're misreading the tool output.
really keywords have agood effect on our earning with adsense but in condition that you should put these key words in important topics and good content
I dont understand why people chase down high paying keywords? your better of blogging about something you know lots about, or something your passionate about.
i think this will help advertiser to use google adwords with minimum amount....may be with $50 and can generate unlimited traffic
