How to Find High Paying Adsense Keywords Easily

As I came across more than one thread in forums, asking about ‘how to find high paying Adsense keywords’, I decided to create an informative post on the subject.

Before starting my post, let me tell you that you can find lots of high paying keyword lists around the internet if you search a bit. Lists of keywords with a CPC more than $50. Note that, targeting those keywords might not be a good plan to follow.

First of all, you should know that going after high paying keywords is not the best strategy most of the times, especially if you are a beginner to making money with Adsense. Those niches with high paying keywords are constantly being targeted by a great number of internet marketers, rendering the competition much tougher. Monetizing such a niche would require great effort on your side if you are not comfortable on what you are doing. Even sometimes, you may not see any return for some of the niches.

My suggestion in this case is to find your own high paying keywords for your Adsense sites. Using Google’s keyword tool, you can find high paying Adsense keywords easily. Below I will explain how I do this.

Go to Google’s Keyword Tool

Think about a niche that you want to target or just use some seed keywords like “software”. Make a search within the keyword tool using the term “software”. And sort the results according to the “Estimated Avg. CPC” values. Check the most paying 10 or so keywords and see which ones have higher search volumes.

Choose the one with a high number of searches and that you want to target. In this case, I chose “marketing software”. Run another search using the term “marketing software”. Again, sort the result by Avg. CPC.

Did you notice the dramatic increase in the Avg. CPCs? Also, a decrease in the search volumes is observed. This is because as you go deeper, the more the search term is related to the product that is being advertised and the higher chance of monetizing the keyword for the advertiser. Same for you, as an Adsense publisher. You can now choose a keyword with high CPC value or continue digging to find better keywords. Don’t forget to check the competition before targeting any niches. Checking competition is a must after deciding about the niche. I am not going to explain how to check the competition here, maybe on another post.

You can apply this same concept to other niches as well. Now you know how to find high paying Adsense keywords easily, you can start putting up some Adsense niche sites. Good luck on that.

Small but Promising Progress in My Efforts

I see that it has been more than two weeks that I last updated my blog. I was busy with lots of things and I started to see some really promising progress in some of my projects. I will talk about each item in detail in the following days, but for now I just want to talk about the titles I am working on at the moment.

Firstly, I made my first Adsense money in the previous week. That was a $0.56 click and it came from a website I started after reading about XFactor Adsense method in Warrior Forum. The thread is closed now, though you can read and find a great deal of valuable information on how to make money with Adsense niche sites. After the first click, I started to put more content and create more backlinks to the site and the number of clicks are increasing slowly but now I know that I am on the right track.

Secondly, I continued to work on promoting CPA offers after seeing some success as I talked about on the post My First CPA Money Ever. And I was able to increase my earnings to just above $100 in January. In the post that I mentioned, I had said that what I was doing was scalable and although I am at the $5/day range now, I will work more on this and try to increase the earnings.

Another thing I had success is selling PLR and MRR products. Selling Master Resale Rights product is something I knew for a long time but hadn’t done anything about. About two months ago, I decided to give it a try and collected some MRR ebooks from the net. I uploaded about 5 products to Tradebit and waited a few days, after seeing no sales I simply gave up. Then one day in December, I got a message telling that I had a sale. That made me really happy and decided to work more on this. After the first sale, I searched the internet and found lots of PLR membership sites and downloaded lots of ebooks. I am now uploading them from time to time. I already got 3 sales in January, and I know I can increase this if I work more on this.

Lastly, I did some more freelance jobs that I like to do about wordpress and excel, and I earned enough money to pay my next three years of hosting. Doing freelance jobs is not my main interest and also not the subject of this blog however, when you need some urgent money, it can be really helpful.

As I said, I will talk about each subject in detail in the following days so stay tuned.

Why You Should Diversify in Monetizing Your Traffic

If you have a website which drives a consistent amount of traffic, either organic or paid and if you are monetizing this traffic with only one way, you should definitely try some other means of monetization. For example, let’s say your website is based on a niche and you serve adsense ads on your website. Let’s assume that you get a number of clicks and earn some money.

At this point, we can conclude that you have an active and interested crowd that click on ads on your site and it will be wise to test some other means of monetization which can bring an additional income each month to you.

One of the monetization methods is promoting affiliate products. You can try this by inserting affiliate links or banners on your site such as Amazon Associates or Clickbank. There are lots of other affiliate programs and networks to try but these two are the ones that convert really well if done properly.

Amazon affiliate program works really well on niche specific sites and blogs. Clickbank does also convert if the topics covered in your site are closely related to the product you promote.

Another thing you could try is to insert in text ads like Infolinks, Echo Topic or Clicksor. You can add to the list many more. On some topics in text advertising really works well and people click on those types of ads.

CPA offers are another thing to be tested with your traffic. Sometimes, you can’t imagine how well it can work. Finally, if you have a good amount of traffic, you could sell backlinks for a monthly price to those with related web sites. It could be really profitable.

As you see, there are lots of ways to monetize your blog, you can find much more if you do a little research on the subject. Of course, I am not telling you to fill your website with ads and banners and annoy your visitors. You should test each method slowly and make small changes on your site in order not to piss your visitors of. I mean do not put ten ad blocks on a single page or have both adsense, Amazon, Clickbank, CPA and in text links on your homepage. This will not work and you will start losing visitors even if they are paid ones.

Just test two methods at a time and see if it works. If it works well, try adding a third method. If it doesn’t, step to the next method and continue testing.

By diversifying your monetization, you will be not relying on a single source of income and this is what we prefer, since a wise marketer never puts all his eggs into one basket.

Farewell.
