Hi, I want to target with a new website Long Tail keyword phrases and put Adsense ads on it. I am doing this because the basic 2 keyword phrase of my niche is very competitive and trying to rank high would take a long time. So i decided to target low competition Long Tail Keyword phrases. But i have noticed something from within the Adwords keyword tool that i want to ask if someone knows something. 1.) When i examine the CPC of my Long Tail Keyword phrase... lets take an example "loss weight fast and healthy"... as you can see its a Long Tail with 5 keywords. It has an average CPC of 0.05 EURO and it has 480 monthly search requests. 2.) When you examine now the basic 2 keyword phrase of this niche which is "loss weight" it has an average CPC of 2.24 EURO and it has over 20 million search requests per month. But it is extreamly difficult to rank a new site high very fast by targeting "loss weight". Thats the reason i target with my site.. with each article different Long Tail phrases to rank more easy high... Question 1) The question now is by writting an article for "loss weight fast and easy" will the Adsense Ads be cheap ads and give me a low return? Because "loss weight fast and easy" has a CPC of only 0.05 EURO? Or will i have Ads with an CPC of 2.24 EURO because "loss weight fast and easy" has also the competitive phrase "loss weight" in it which has a higher CPC??? Question 2) Can i block somehow low paying ads with a low CPC from my Long Tail articles and get ads with a high CPC? What i mean is.. can i have on an article about "loss weight fast and easy" also Adsense ads that are targeting "loss weight" which a have a higher CPC what also means for me more money????? Question 3) How many visitors can i have for every Long Tail Keyword article per month? For example "loss weight fast and easy" has 480 search requests aper month and it is easy to rank for it if you optimize well your titles, headings etc... So are 5 visitors per month for such an article doable? You will now say wa do you wanna do with only 5 visitors??? If your website has lets say 5000 articles and each one gets 5 visitors per month it makes sense.. the question is... what number is doable? has someone experience in Long Tail article writing and how many visits does this article get per month? Thanks George
The key phrase "Lose weight" will automatically bring the highest paying ads possible... Try to stuff your article with them and see what happens. Ofcourse there are ways to block low paying ads using competitive ad filter.
Thanks for your post. I was always afriad that by targeting Long Tail Keywords the Ads will be cheaper ads. Do you have a clue how many visits a long tail article with 5 keywords can have per month? on average? Is 10 visitors per month doable or am i too conservative? Thanks George
Even if you use a long tail keyword phrase like "loss weight fast and healthy", you will get good ads because it consists of short keyword that is very competitive.
You will get well paying ads if you focus on the long tail keywords 'loss weight fast and healthy' but you wont get the traffic. The numbers will fluctuate from month to month but you will only get noticeable amounts of traffic if you get a first page position for long tail keywords (except if it is an extremely popular longtail phrase). And getting the all important search engine position for the long tail keywords isn't as easy as it use to be. How are you going to generate 5000 articles? How are you going to optimize each one for the SE? You will be creating an adsense revenue site, which use to be a popular strategy a few years back. But Google have made it extremely difficult for poor quality articles to rank well within its search engine... and it takes time to put together a half decent article. Anyway, good luck with everything. Hope your final strategy works well.
