Wow I'm sure those insurance companies are getting some nice xmas gifts from Google :thumbsup

plutonium is not in the list

"transfer" ? interesting lol

nice list, should be few pages for adse about this

I really don't see how some of those keywords can have such a high CPC. I know it's top, but if the average was even 20% of that, it'd still be really high.

So if you have bad day and feel like you need to hurt somebody, search for that keywords and make some clicks :1orglaugh

great info, thanks!

thought web design might be up there

I could use more blood!
lol

"Donate" is an interesting one at #7

who would have ever thought 'cord blood'?

i can guarantee this is not 100% accurate.

most of those high CPCs are what advertisers are willing to pay for a specific spot, not what the average CPC will be. so if you wanted to be #1 for insurance, then you would have to bid $.01 more than $54.91... assuming your quality score was equal to or great than the competition :winkwink:

i just clicked insurance adwords like 5 times. Feels nice sticking it back to them for once.

:1orglaugh

I remember back in the day before Google hooked up click fraud prevention, shady software would click ads over and over again.

wonder what that's all about ?

Wow $ 54,91 cpc

I think the donation column has to be my absolute favorite, LOL. That's just funny.

that's probably to do with stem cells, we considered it when we had our baby, the blood from the baby's imbilecal cord contains stem cells that they think in the future will be able to cure a huge amount of illness. you can pay companies to obtain and store it for you.

It's about finding a service that freezes your newborn's umbilical cord in case you may need the stem cells in the future.

I thought that was interesting too. Shows how much money charities waste.

lol That went thru me head too. :)

Insurance is prob paying $10 a hit tho in many cases I'll bet.

Might want to check your next statement i think your insurance co. just upped your premium

yep, discounts pulled.

Thank you and Roly for clearing that up for me. Now it makes sense:thumbsup

If 1 out of 7 buy that is expensive customer acquisition... (Maybe, depends on the profit margin). Google AdWords sure makes out ...

no it make's dollars...

i have several cord blood sites and they do very well with adsense... :thumbsup

Funny enough we are expecting a baby and my wife was googling that the other day!

:321GFY ICM Registry / .XXX

Everyone in the adult industry should protest ICM Registry by searching for .XXX keywords. :thumbsup

[Exact phrase] Estimated AdWords CPC
--------------------------------------------
[register .xxx domain names] $12.06
[.xxx domain names] $11.23
[register .xxx domain] $9.87
[.xxx domain name] $9.21
[register .xxx domains] $9.04
[register .xxx domain name] $8.61
[.xxx domains] $8.21
[.xxx registrar] $4.93
[register .xxx] $2.34
[.xxx domain] $1.13
It's not advisable to search and click on other terms, as businesses will only pass on the costs to their customers (i.e. you).

Here are the same keywords for Yahoo! and Bing.

Search on Yahoo!
[register .xxx domain names]
[.xxx domain names]
[register .xxx domain]
[.xxx domain name]
[register .xxx domains]
[register .xxx domain name]
[.xxx domains]
[.xxx registrar]
[register .xxx]
[.xxx domain]

Search on Bing
[register .xxx domain names]
[.xxx domain names]
[register .xxx domain]
[.xxx domain name]
[register .xxx domains]
[register .xxx domain name]
[.xxx domains]
[.xxx registrar]
[register .xxx]
[.xxx domain]

I wonder how many insurance companies just blew their yearly budget in one day as a result of this list coming out.

Competition = highest cpc earnings per click will allow.

Bump! Good idea! :thumbsup

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Paying for life.

Random clicks on these search terms will probably be more effective, as Google, Yahoo or Bing may not count clicks that form a pattern. Different IPs will also be better (home / work / mobile / library / WiFi at Starbucks, hotel, airport / friend's house / etc).

While this doesn't impact ICM Registry directly, it should force advertisers to drop or lower bids on non-performing keywords. If they're supporting/promoting ICM Registry / .XXX, fuck 'em.

Something to beware of..

All the clicks have something else in common: GFY.com as their reffering url !

To avoid that all the clicks are grouped together it would be best to search for the terms directly - instead of the lazy approach of just clicking the provided links :)
