Choosing High Paying Keywords

[SF]

Hi Guys,

I am struggling to get decent amounts when people are clicking through my names I have been told to use https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal but you set the most relavnt and the highest amount but you still get below 5% of the actual click.

Is there any other way I can find out how to constantly keep high paying words?

Thanks for your help...

Maybe name drive can assist? it would be in there interest yeah?

Interesting idea. I had not considered using the AdWord tool. I too am interested in being able to determine better paying keywords.

However, on the other side of the fence... I exclude the Google Content and Search networks form my PPC campaigns on the advice that I'll get a poorer conversion rate (i.e. more expensive per conversion) so it may be that the keywords you pick from the AdWords tool are not so beneficial as those advertisers may exclude us parkers.

I am also interested to know if ND can assist, Ed?

Cheers Chris, understand what you are saying - I have had this out with ED before - he doesnt seem to understand that if he dedicated a team to look after the seo part of our parked names then not only would our revenue increase but so will theres.

They could charge 10% or something - anything would be better than nothing

Hi guys,

This is a topic which comes up for discussion on a monthly basis. How come the top bids in AdWords are so high and yet on parking / Adsense pages, the amount Google pay out is so much less?
Every month, I struggle to come up with a particularly satisfactory answer as it is something we ask ourselves. One of the points is something which I discussed with aqls last month that they will only take the top dollar for a click if the next-highest bid is also that high. Otherwise, they will cut down the bid amount so the advertiser is not paying top dollar for every click.
In addition to that, there is the fact that not everyone coming to your domains are clicking the exact ads you put on there, but many of them are searching for different terms which have different click prices.
Google have myriad 'factors' for what each click is worth. Parked pages and AdSense pages do see very large click amounts in some cases, but this does tend to be an exception to the rule rather than the norm. I can only recommend setting the highest-paying, most relevant ads as these will offer the best chance of a high PPC.
As to the SEO part, DB, I understand that fully! I also understand that it is part of our Google contract that we cannot SEO names, which makes it a bit tricky for us to do so

Surely one man's SEO is another man's good web design/coding???

How are you to know if what you're doing is SEOing or just decent coding/design? Where does the boundary lie?

The trouble with High Paying Keywords is that they often relate to a niche within a sector, resulting in lower click through rates.

I'd be interested to know the keywords that got matched and the revenue generated. All I can see in the control panel are the searches that were made but they don't appear to relate to the same time period as the views or clicks reported.

There is a limit to the number of keywords I can enter, at least I am assuming there is a limit... so it makes sense to kill non-performing keywords and try others. This only works if I can identify high paying keywords otherwise the amount of time I spend doing this negates the benefit.

p.s. don't misconstrude my comments for dissatisfaction with ND, I am making more in revenue than the registration costs
