You probably would have searched a list of high paying keywords and used them on your site to achieve maximum relevant ads displayed so that you get maximum payout rate. What may seem to be the highest paid keyword is not really the deal.

The fact that many people are having the wrong idea of placing high paid keywords into their blog which don't seem relevant at all. If you blog about Pets and if you suddenly talk about Personal injuries because they pay you a higher keyword rate then, you might have lost enough traffic and click as the days go by.

I was very curious about these highest paid keywords, and i personally had fell into this trap, in 2005 before i started to blog on making money online, i started a blog named 'EngineBlock.blogspot.com' and i used the highest paying keywords i can find to fit on both my meta keywords and also my contents such as online car insurances,car accident attorney,free online auto insurance quote,free car insurance quotes, loans and etc.

All these keywords are more than $30 per click but my blog lasted for 4 months before everything ended, why is that so,I will tell you why it's not going to work out for you even if i give you tons of great paid keywords.

This list was updated recently on July 9 2007 using Google Adwords Tool.

Highest paying 5 keywords
$69.10 mesothelioma treatment options
$66.46 mesothelioma risk
$65.85 personal injury lawyer michigan
$65.74 michigan personal injury attorney
$62.59 student loans consolidation

Rank Keywords
1 mesothelioma
2 cheap auto insurance
3 consolidate student loan
4 life insurance quote
5 cheap car insurance

Mesothelioma ranks number one as the most expensive keyword for the past few years and it always hits the top 10 list twice with "mesothelioma" as a keyword, so why are they priced with such a heavy tag. "Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos."
This can means a law suit case which eventually involve tens of thousands so people are willing to advertise at a high price. It could be another reason but no one seems to have got the correct answer to why they are the most expensive keyword.

Why placing high paid keywords will not work for an average joe
If you want to make this high paid keyword work on your blog, then make sure you have a vast knowledge on what you are writing and make sure you offer professional consulting help online. Don't make a fool of yourself and start blogging what mesothelioma is all about by copying articles from other sites who are actual professionals offering help to the needy people and not know what it actually means.

Why people who blog about mesothelioma will not put ads
Come on these guys are professional lawyer who make millions a year, would a lawyer want such revenues or would they want to attract more customers so that they can charge on consultation fees, which is more relevant and if you search on "mesothelioma blog" on google, you will notice that most of the links don't show ads on their site.

Pursuing your passion rather than trying your luck
Be who you are and live your passion to write on things you are good at. Trust me eventually what you love to write on with continue and it by the time you track back when you started blogging, you will be amazed you have done it for 5 years already! Never start a blog without knowing what you are writing about, because it will end there like how i closed "Engineblock.blogspot.com" in 4 months time because i don't have anymore topics to write on, slowly the traffic will decline and automatically your blog is pronounced dead!

Leverage your adsense placement for higher revenue
There are tons of ways to leverage Adsense and also every new users would want to know where they can optimize the best placement for their ads. There is no right on wrong, but placing ads within the contents seems to be the most efficient so you may want to try having them on your contents and after a month notice the difference and try other ads size if you wish to and experiment.
You may want to audit your site using heatmaps for better and optimized ads placement. If you have any questions you can always contact me or drop me a comment.
