Topics and the value of your words.
net art : adwords happening: "Words already had some kind of exchange value, but we hardly realized it : if I insult somebody, I will get something in return, such as a punch in my face for instance. But now there is no doubt anymore. The word 'sex' is worth $3,837, the word 'art' $410, 'net art' is only $0.05 (prices on the 11 of April 2002). And the most expensive word is 'free'! Prices are determined according to the number of search requests and an average Cost-Per-Click." --www.iterature.com/adwords
Words that pay well, it seems can be easily chopped into groups. The first group is, unsupprisingly money itself. Momon, the love of which is said to be the root of all evil, it's also the root of really dull blog posts. Unless you happen to be a blogger who's topic is the finaces industry you will be hard pressed to make interesting content out of these well paying fellows: (I've tried not to make the list too long).
Structured settlements
Debt Consolidation / Reduce Debt / Bankruptcy / Credit Counseling
Borrow Money
Online Banking
Equity Loans
Low Interest Credit Cards
Equity Line Credit
Loans / Mortgages / Refinance
Pay Day Loans / Cash Advance
Consumer Credit / Credit Cards
Casinos Online
Taxes
Investing / Bonds
Rewards Cards
Online Trading
Refinance Quotes
Free / Free Credit Report
Credit Score
Need Money / Extra Money
Work at Home / Payperclick
Transfer Money
Internet Broker / Eloan
Life Insurance / Death Insurance / Car Insurance
Jet Charter
In point of fact even if you do manage a list of these babies you will likely have a page no-one will read and even if you manage to make it readable will your readers really click those kinds of adverts?
On the whole you'd be far better off choosing lower paying words with a higher rate of clicks which on ballence should give a better monthly payout.
Leading on from the topic of money is the topic of getting other peoples money. Sue, Sue, Sue.
Asbestos
Wrongful death
Legal Advice / Personal Injury Attorney / Malpractice Lawyer
These are again topic specific and unless your readers expect you to talk about this subject and want to read it I'd simply not go there. The pay out from the one click you get might be a magic $50 click but the chances are you will get a lot more from the $5 or less if you write content for your readers so that they stay around long enough to maybe click more than once.
Another money based industry is the sale of worthless degrees so phrases such as "University Degrees Online". Here vast ammounts are spent giving away technical degrees for which you do no work at all. These are not going to be much interest to most blog readers but some similar topics might be of interest to blogs of some topics: "Adult Education" and "Distance Learning" are good educational topics.
The IT industry pushes in next with the ammount of money they can take. So unsupprisingly this topic is able to pay well. This is the first topic that a blogger has a chance of talking about and still getting a good return on.
VOIP
Domain Name
Cheap Hosting / Web Host / Dedicated Hosting
Helpdesk Software
Spyware
Laptop Computer
Spam Filter / Anti Virus Protection
after that there is a supprising change to health issues... I say supprising but the cosmetics industry makes a lot of money each and every day (just whatch you telivision for a few adbreaks and you will see what I mean). The best paying words seem to be:
Depression
Mesothelioma / Cancer
Weight Loss
Acne
In a similar vien, there is a lot of money to be made for the rehab centers in the US so these three words should also pay well: "Alcohol Treatment", "Rehab" and "Drug Rehab".
That is about your lot for the top payers to write to. Your choices are always going to be limited to the high cashflow industries if you want to get the bigger sized payouts. However remember that if your blog is about horses and riding then a series of articles on the subject of diets, domain names and loans is only going to loose you visitors and may not give you any clicks at all.

Google Adsense Tips
If you hear about people achieving high payments per click with AdSense, remember that's only part of the story. You also need lots of page views and a high click-through rate.
Here are some ideas on how to achieve those three things:
Even More Tips
1. Have a look at the top 100 keywords on 7search. This will give you a quick idea of keywords that people are willing to pay big money for. You can also type phrases into the 7Search Keyword Suggestion Tool. This is just step one of your keyword research. You'll want to dig deeper.
2. At FindWhat pay-per-click search engine you can do a search for any phrase and quickly see how much advertisers are paying per click.
3. If you have a Google AdWords account, you can experiment. Pretend you are planning to advertise using different keywords, and see how much you'd have to pay. That will give you a good indication of the popularity of the keywords.
4. You can also experiment typing words into Overture's View Bids Tool. Let's say you type in "asbestos cancer . The top three advertisers often pay about $12 per click. So that would be an good choice for a topic – provided you're a specialist on mesothelioma.
For "debt consolidation", the top two advertisers often pay more than $9 per click.
5. The Overture Keyword Bid Amounts Lookup Tool speeds up your research at Overture. Type in a keyword and learn how much advertisers are paying per click at Overture and also find out how many searches were done on that keyword last month.
For "debt consolidation", the top two advertisers often pay more than $9 per click.
6. KeywordSleuth is a wonderful tool for very fast keyword research. You can find hundreds or even thousands of keywords – or key phrases – with just one click. It's fabulous to use if all you want is to find an enormous number of related key phrases with one click – much better than messing around with Overture. Try the free trial.
7. You can use Wordtracker to look for the 1,000 most popular keywords. You can also use it to compile a useful list of keywords relating to one topic. If you buy it for a day or a week, you can do a lot of research in that time. There's a free trial, too.
8. The brainstorming and research tools in Site Build It! are my favorite way to do research for keywords that are in high demand and low supply.. SBI is a superb tool – actually, a suite of tools. It's an all-in-one web hosting, site-building and web marketing tool. Type in a keyword and SBI Manager will present you with dozens of profitable keywords – ones with high demand and low supply. It can present them in order of profitability. Drill down, and you'll get dozens more profitable keywords.
It also has an "Analyze it" tool that helps you build keyword-rich pages that rank highly in search engines. It's simply superb. I use it and love it. Site Build It! is an excellent choice for quickly building large, simple sites designed to rank highly in search engines – which makes it perfect for generating lots of AdSense revenue. Check it out.
My Site is Rejected From Adsense
Of course, if your site is rejected, it doesn't mean it is poorly developed. There may be other reasons. See below:
1. Is your site an "About Me" page? Google does not accept these kinds of personal sites because most of them do not have a specific topic. They are usually just random facts about the web site owner. It would be difficult for Google's technology to display targeted ads on these kinds of pages.
They are looking for sites that contain a generous amount of information on a certain topic. It could be anything from golfing tips to hair care techniques. Just make sure there is an obvious theme with original content.
2. Is your site organized? Be sure your site has a neat and clean navigation that's easy to follow. Also ensure all the links work and that there are no typos. Keep the colors to a minimum and make sure each page has a consistent layout.
3. How many pages are on your site? Even though Google doesn't specify a page number requirement, they are obviously looking for web sites with a decent amount of content. Again, it's not likely a two-page site will get accepted. Try to strive for at least 20 pages.
4. Is your content solid? Don't just submit a web site with a bunch of links to other sites. Be sure you have enough original content of your own to make your site unique.
5. Be sure to read the program policy and procedures carefully and make sure your site hasn't violated any of the terms.

Here are some ideas on how to achieve those three things:
- If you're starting afresh designing a site specifically for AdSense revenue, you'll want a simple design that makes it easy to paste Google's code into a horizontal or vertical space on the site. For experienced webmasters, that's easy.
- To increase your click-throughs, design a simple, uncluttered page with the AdSense ads displayed prominently.
- Use white space, so that the AdSense panel catches the eye.
- Stick to only one topic per page – that should make it easier for Google to serve up highly relevant ads on your pages.
- Plain, bland pages with few competing hyperlinks should result in higher click-through rates on the AdSense ads.
- If you want to target certain high-priced keywords, use them in the file name, in the heading on the page, and in the first paragraph – in other words, use search engine optimization techniques.
- If you change those keywords, Google will change the ads that appear on your page.
- Watch out for cases where Google has guessed wrong, and is displaying ads that won't interest your visitors. Figure out which words are involved, and rewrite those words. Help Google by sticking closely to the topic.
- Don't worry about losing traffic via those clicks. If you can earn maybe 30 or 50 cents or more per click, you WANT to lose visitors!
- You'll also want keyword-rich pages, optimized to rank highly in search engines, so you can serve lots of pages.
- Where possible, use skyscraper ads, high on the page. They catch visitors' attention more than horizontal banner ads.
- One of the beautiful things about AdSense is that you can now generate revenue from informational sites even if there are no obvious related affiliate programs. With 100,000 advertisers, there's a good chance that Google will find ads that match your pages, better than the big ad networks can.
- Don't be tempted into trying to create thousands of spammy computer-generated articles. Human beings review sites for AdSense. Build useful, interesting sites. Google likes them.
