    Ok Anthony I have modified the "phenomenon" section. I have taken out the specific reference to the price they are paying and expanded the Personal Injury lawyers, good or bad theme.

    See if you are any happier now?

    although I admit I tend to be on the more conservative side as far as pushing what's acceptable for adsense.. :)

    while I understand that compar wasn't directly solicitng clicks, it just seems like the sort of thing google probably wouldn't be ecsatic about- especially if an advertiser saw it and complained.

    Bob, I am still not happy with it, why don't you let Disgust rewrite the article for you, she can alter it in a way that she sees as correct for ADSENSE.

    She seems to know what she is doing, give her a chance to go over the article and take out anything that she deems as potential problems and ACCEPT her final version of the dammed thing. :D

    If you two don't mind someone asking, has anyone clicked on any of those ads yet, and if so was the payout anywhere near what you expected? I'm sure all of us are very curious :)

    So if you are that curious why don't you click on the ad once and we will find out?

    I'm not currently tracking that single page, but I haven't seen a surge in my income that would suggest that anyone had clicked and/or that it was a $60 click.

    If I see any surge in my general income I'll start tracking that page all by itself.

    BTW Google doesn't seem to have cached it yet which is really unusual because normally all my pages are cached and indexed within 48 hours. It has been closer to 72 hours since I posted that site??????

    I don't track this page as a separate page but as part of my over all site. So the answer is I don't know.

    However for some reason Google hasn't gotten around to caching it yet -- very unusual, they normally cache my new pages in 48 to 72 hours -- so I doubt there has been much direct traffic to it yet.

    I a run a couple Adwords campaigns for the legal profession. To put the mystery to bed I can confirm that some of my clients pay $20 - $45 per click depending on the keyword/phrase. If a high % of that revenue goes to the webmaster hosting the ad (which it does) you can get an idea of what some of the payouts are.

    Just for your info. My friend is running a website about asbestos cancer information and resources. Ofcoz there is adsense there. I ask him how much he receive for each click on those adsense ads, he said "Very Little" And I was suprise the web hosting keywords of my site earn a lot more than his.

    That is what I told these guy's, ain't no one in their right mind going to pay $60.00 to $100.00 for a click, that is sick.

    Wow, you can get an entire penny for some click throughs :D

    I think $60-$100 is rate for the advertisers only, this is because there are too many advertisers (due to the fact it is one of the most search keyword) but lesser publishers.

    Sure they will, all depends on the ROI. If they stand to make millions from one legit click it's worth it.

    From the clicks I have received so far Google must retain majority of the cost to your clients.

    Based on the lower end of your scale, the publisher's cut (i.e. mine) is very low.

    If I worked on the upper end, the publisher's cut is very, very, very low.

    Adsense ads for web hosting can pay 4 to 5 times more than this.

    Several points to make.

    1. I have always calculated my share of the price of the keyword for an AdSense click through as 50%. Shawn thinks he receives closer to 80%. maybe high volume AdSense publishers get a higher percentage of the take???

    2. It's hard to believe that Google would vary the percentage by the keywords, so maybe someone is paying $56 for a mesothelioma keyword, but maybe the rest are not.

    3. I feel that I have gotten some click throughs on this page, but that being the case I'm only get around a $1 per.

    4. Item #3 is really speculation at this time because I wasn't tracking that page as a channel. I have now corrected that situation, but it will take three days before I see the channel results for that page.

    I'll keep you posted.

    I would say double item 3 is a fair assumption.

    I'm sure a lot of mesothelioma advertisers turn off the content matching for just that reason.. I'd think I'd be more than 1$ per click, though.
