getting google to actually DISPLAY those ads on your site, and not the 50cent ones would be quite important.
It is rumored that AS pay out amounts also is influenced by the natural (organic) ranking of this page. In my own personal experience (last 30 days) I have been paying close attention to the relationship of SERP's and AS EPC. I am now convinced that SEO techiniques are a large part of CPM and EPC. By the conversations in this thread I believe this fact is confirmed. Bob says first 2 clicks .74/ea...that's a far cry from your share of $60-$100/ click. I would like to submit that those that find that these keywords indeed pay high...check your natural ranking under those KW and you will probably conclude what I have. That's my 2 cents
I believe the 'smart pricing' algo is what I am talking about. I am not sure exactly how this works but believe it is relative to your rankings? https://adwords.google.com/select/news/sa_mar04.html
That list strikes me as rubbish. I get loads of web hosting ads, and loads of clicks on them. I don't see 10% of the $ mentioned there.
Depends on many other factors. I have a 5 year old PR6 web hosting specifc site that really sells web hosting (not a spam site or landing page). There's no rubish in that list YMMV
Hey, what's the deal with the one Coop Ad quickly loading before your site on http://www.arkwrightshomebrew.com ?
No not exactly. At best you can find the range of payouts. The real issue is that you shouldn't be building pages for AdSense. You should be putting AdSense ads on pages with lots of good content. Build the pages for the reader, optimize them for the Search Engines, then you will get visitors who are interested in the content and will be interested in the AdSense ads. That is how you get a good CTR and that is how you make money with AdSense.
i know this is going to sound like a "noob" question..but how do you get adsense to display ads that relate to these keywords on your site? add them to the meta tag in the html? or do you have to have a full website about these keywords? thanks
As Compar says: Now the answer to your question is YOU don't Google does. G sends round its adsense spider that finds what it wants on your site and then uses that to determine the ads. So do what Compar says.....
From what I've seen, the keywords that are prescription drugs which have been pulled off the market (e.g. vioxx, etc and sometimes combined with the word 'lawyer') can fetch over $50 in some case. Or did at one time.
