...und Research - Worth Its Weight in Gold: Absolutelycritical in developing an Adsense campaign is to research somekeywords for your niche that have a high CPC (Cost Per Click)value. A handy tool available for free to accomplish this is touse Google Adwords keyword tool or another tool that will giveyou a multitude of keyword lists designed specifically for yourniche market. To simplify keeping up with these later, youshould consider saving the keywords into a program orapplication (I find Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to be excellentfor this purpose. However; a basic word processing document willfunctionally work also). This makes it easy to copy and pastethe keywords into Google's Traffic Estimator in your Adwordsaccount. The estimator will give you the approximate clicks perday and the average cost per click (CPC) for each keyword. Withthis information, it is then easy enough to copy/paste thisinformation back to your spreadsheet file for later reference.Determine your Maximum Earning Per Click: To determine yourmaximum EPC, multiply the average CPC by 30% to get an estimateof your maximum earnings per click. The higher the average CPC,the more likely the CPC for the 2nd - 8th positions are high aswell. You want this higher average CPC to start because if theCPC starts to drop off significantly after the 3rd position,your chance of getting high click earnings as an Adsensepublisher will be diminished.Determine Desired CPC - Based on Individual Strategy (andbudget) Use any one of many tools available on the internet forhelping to estimate the 1st - 8th position CPC values. Thesetools will estimate the CPCs for each position and allow you tosee how much the CPCs drop off after the first position. Thisdramatically helps your analysis for picking the most profitablekeywords. If the CPC values stay close to the each other and tothe value of the first position, then you will more than likelyhave a profitable keyword.Test Google for Position Location Now that the ads have beenestablished it is time to check your exact position in thesearch engines. To determine which Adsense ads occupy whichpositions. You can do this by searching on Google for yourkeyword and looking to see which Adsense ads are generated inthe search results and in which order they are. A second methodfor this determination is to use the Adwords Accelerator toolitself. It has a feature whereby Adwords ads are dynamicallydisplayed for a given keyword you input into the tool to check.If the Adwords advertiser has used "Adwords for Content" in hisadvertising, these ads will be the Adsense ads someone else isdisplaying on their website.Compare Initial Results Compare the ads you found in theprevious step to the results of using a keyword check functiontool (available on the internet). If the advertisers you find bydoing this closely match those you found above, you will morethan likely have a profitable keyword.If the advertisers are not he same, then the advertiser ispossibly not using the "Adwords for Content" mode of advertisingin his campaigns. This means that the keyword may not be thebasis for the Adsense ads and may not be profitable.Determine Your Profits and Determine Cost Per Click Data forEnhancements If you decide to get traffic using the Adwordsapproach, then just use the keywords in your Adsense ads thatscored well from the prior evaluation. Then, use lower cost perclick keywords in your Adwords ads. The difference between theearnings from the click you get on your Adsense word from thecost of the click you pay on your Adwords word will be yourprofit.Combining these techniques with your search engine optimizationtechniques will go a long way towards ensuring you get trafficto the website. Once there, make sure the keywords you choosehave the highest KEI possible. KEI is the ratio of the number ofsearches for a keyword to the number of competing sites havingthe keyword. The combination of a high KEI and a high score fromthe above evaluation will yield the best profit results,greatest amount of traffic, increased revenues and minimalexpense.
