If you build your site around a certain phrase that has a high CPC according to google tools how good an indication in that of potential adsense income?
yes for estimate, its good, but exactly you get from experience or your earning, google keyword tool is good to give you idea about niche
My opinion is its way off, Just like PPC, suggested bid doesn't mean that that's the price you are paying for. But at least it gives you an idea how much advertiser is targeting at the keyword. It's also an indication of the demand of the niche.
yuo can get some idea but dont count in it. adwords will charge different advertiser differently based on various factors. for the same keyword, one advertiser might pay $1 per click while other with good QS (quality score), history, CTR will get charged only 30 cents or so. what you are looking at the tool can be way off
It's just an estimate but it gives you an idea of the adsense niches that pays well. You can't us it to get exact CPCs (no tool is going to give you exact figures) but if you're doing keyword research it can give you a good approximation of the best keywords to target. I often use it to fine-tune my keywords for an adsense campaign and it has always worked for me. Use it but remember that it isn't going to be precise. Good luck.
I am also worried for this Question but i got answer from here and i will apply to solve my problem also.
