There's a number of reasons that you would want to find the highest paying keywords, particularly if you are signed up with Adsense as a publisher. This also applies if you are an affiliate promoting products as you don't want to really target keywords where there is no or little advertiser interest. This is because people advertising with programs like Google Adwords are spending their cold, hard earned cash bidding on these terms. Now do you think these people would be bidding several dollars a click if they weren't making money out of it? The ones that do go broke fast, so it stands to reason that high advertiser competition and high bid prices means that keyword phrase is profitable.

Making Money With Adsense

Becoming a publisher with Google Adsense is relatively straight forward. You need to decide on what niche you are going to build a website about and what keywords you are going to use on your pages. At this point it would be a very good idea to find out what the highest paying keywords are in your chosen niche. Actually take a step back a moment and first of all find out if the niche you are interested in actually has demand and is a good choice. Once you have done that, you need to decide what keywords you want that are relevant to your chosen niche topic.

Build A Keyword List

Or buy one. Keyword research is a vital step in this process. In essence what you need to do is build up a large list of possible keywords to use on your site, then narrow down your selections so that you have high paying keywords that aren't going to be so competitive you stand no chance of ever ranking for them in the search engines. As I say, you can do this manually or you can save time by buying a well researched limited distribution keyword list that has already been compiled.

Once you have decided upon your 'in demand' niche and those profitable keywords all you need to do then is build a website with good quality content based around these terms and get it indexed in the search engines. Once you are getting quality visitors to your site, you'll have some of the highest paying keywords on your pages and as a result the ads displayed will have a higher than average cost per click. This translates to more income per website visitor for you, the publisher. If you are an affiliate, targeting these keywords will give you a better return on your bottom line because those keywords will convert better for you.
