I don't recommend the process of chasing the keywords with Adsense and thinking that creating a site around these high paying keywords will result in high Adsense earnings.

Often, they only end up disappointed -- just like hundreds of publishers who went and created a site around the famous "M" word or "mesothelioma" -- when it was reported that Adwords advertisers were paying $110+ per click for this keyword. So websites focusing on the M keyword popped out of the Web.

And what was the comment of these Adsense publishers hoping to cash in with this high paying keyword? That they can't even get more than $1 per click for the keyword -- definitely not the $110 or even $50 per click keyword that they were hoping for.

Why? Because Google is smart and can sniff those trying to cash in on these so called high paying keywords a mile away. For one, there's smartpricing -- the big unknown in Adsense. No one knows how this actually works. But it can affect the pricing of the ads on your site. If the advertiser paid for $0.50/click - but your site is smartpriced - then the cost may be discounted lower (e.g. $0.25). So you may try to develop a site based on high paying keywords but if smartpricing gets to you, then you may not get as much per click as what you are expecting from your keywords.

To succeed with Adsense, you need to have a website with the right topic, the right audience, the right traffic. It needs to offer value to visitors, otherwise you can't get decent traffic to the site.

So what's the right topic:

- topic that attracts a lot of advertisers
- advertisers are competing hard to reach this audience
- audience are responsive to ads
- audiences are looking for ways to spend money
- your knowledge and interest to create compelling content for this topic

Ghosts/horror writers are not going to earn well in Adsense because advertisers are not competing to tap this audience --> few advertisers mean cheap keywords. The audience is also not looking for ways to spend money, just to be entertained.

Compare that to a camera review site. The audience this site attracts are those who are looking to buy a camera. They read the reviews from the site, and they see the ads where the camera can be purchased.

The rule is: whenever there is money to be spent, then that's the best keyword for Adsense

Of course, having a good topic is worthless if you can't even write any thing decent about the topic.

Hi,


I'll answer this question for you, but you must first understand the relationship between adwords and adsense. The ads that pay the most for adsense are typically the keywords that cost the most on adwords.


What is Google Adwords?

Google AdWords is a quick and simple way to purchase highly targeted cost-per-click (CPC) advertising, regardless of your budget. AdWords ads are displayed along with search results on Google, as well as on search and content sites in our growing ad network, including AOL, EarthLink, HowStuffWorks, & Blogger. With more than 200 million searches on Google each day and even more searches and page views on our ad network, your Google AdWords ads reach a vast audience.

When you create a Google AdWords ad, you choose keywords for which your ad will appear and specify the maximum amount you're willing to pay for each click. You only pay when someone clicks on your ad. To save you even more money, the AdWords Discounter automatically reduces the actual CPC you pay to the lowest cost needed to maintain your ad's position on the results page.

What is Google Adsense?

Google AdSense is a fast and easy way for website publishers of all sizes to display relevant, text-based, un-obtrusive Google AdWordsâ„¢ ads on their website's content pages and earn money. Because the ads are related to what your users are looking for on your site, you'll finally have a way to both monetize and enhance your content pages.

How does Google target ads to my website?

Simply put, Google provides you with AdSense HTML ad code to place on the web pages on which you want to display AdWords ads. Then, they take care of the rest by leveraging award-winning and proprietary Google search and page-ranking technologies to deliver relevant AdWords ads to those content pages.

Google goes beyond simple keyword matching to understand the context and content of web pages. Based on a sophisticated algorithm that includes such factors as keyword analysis, word frequency, font size, and the overall link structure of the web, they know what a page is about, and can precisely match Google ads to each page.

What you need to know is what keywords cost the most for the adwords program. If you know these keywords, then you can design you websites around them you maximum payouts.

With that being said, i have no idea if your website has high paying ads.

These sites listed below map out the top paying keywords.
