Terbaru What Is High Paying Keyword? Highest Paid Adsense Keywords In 2020

What is High Paying Keyword? Highest Paid Adsense Keywords for 2020 - If you are a publisher, chances are that you have used or are still using AdSense to display ads on your site. At one point or another you have thought of how to increase your earnings through more clicks. This happens if you have a good CTR, the ratio of users who click on a specific link to the number of total users who view an ad. You might have noticed that AdSense shows ads according to keywords in a post. CPC (Cost Per Click) is related to these keywords.

The reason that some clicks pay more than others, is the value of the keyword(s) used in a post. If you have high paying keywords in your post you will get high PPC (Pay Per Click). It’s important to note that having lots of traffic does not necessarily translate to more money, what you need more is traffic that engages with the ads displayed on your site. And above all, write content with high paying keywords, because ultimately Google AdSense pays according to topics.

What is Cost Per Click (CPC)?

Also known as pay-per-click (PPC), CPC is used by advertisers to bid for the amount to pay for a click on an advert. It’s used by advertisers to set daily and lifetime budgets, when the budget is hit, the ad is removed from the rotation for the remainder of the billing period. CPC, thus implies to the amount the website publisher will receive when a paid ad on the site is clicked.

Advertisers bid how much they are willing to pay for each click on Google Ads (AdWords), Google then uses complex algorithms to match publishers and advertisers. The websites with the largest number of unique visitors and that incorporate the most valuable keywords receive the highest CPC. The bidding and auction of ads is a continuous dynamic process, so CPC changes constantly.

What is High Paying Keyword?

A high paying keyword is that keyword that has high CPC that advertisers are bidding for. The companies behind these ads are big companies that have high customer value and can spend thousands of dollars just to acquire a customer. Having these high valued keywords will translate to more PPC income for you.

Here are the top 10 highest paid Adsense keywords for 2020 (by industry/niche):

1. Insurance $59 CPC
2. Gas/Electricity $57 CPC
3. Loans $50 CPC
4. Mortgage $44 CPC
5. Attorney $48 CPC
6. Lawyer $43 CPC
7. Donate $42 CPC
8. Conference Call $42 CPC
9. Degree $40 CPC
10. Credit $38 CPC

Which Adsense ads pay the most?

In addition to picking the best niche for adsense, you also have options as to which ad type to show. The options are: 1) text & display 2) matched content 3) in-feed and 4) in-article.

In my own experiments, I’ve found higher click through rates with native in-article ads. Those ads perform the best on any of my sites.


The in-article ads will naturally blend with your content and display midway through your blog post. I like these types of ads because they are contextual and usually receive a good amount of clicks.

Sidebar ads are not as good since we are already trained to tune them out.

You can also try Matched Content if you have another content you’d like to promote.

Pro tip: Use Auto Ads by Google

Adsense Auto Ads take advantage of machine learning and place themselves automatically on your site where Google thinks they will perform well.

Google has been testing the Auto Ads feature as a beta since September of 2018 and recently (early March) released this feature to everyone.

Since Google has millions (if not billions) of sites to test, they will most likely be better than you or me when figuring out the right type and placement of the ads.

The only downside of this is that you won’t have much control of how many ads are shown or where they are placed, which if you are picky, might annoy you.

To set up Auto ads on your site, follow these steps:

• Sign in to your AdSense account.
• In the left navigation panel, click My ads.
• Click Auto ads.
• On the “Choose your global settings” page, use the controls to select the ad formats that you’d like to show.
• Leave Automatically get new formats selected if you want AdSense to automatically add new ad formats to your global settings as they become available.
• Click Save.
• On the “Place code on your page” page, click Copy code.

1. Paste the ad code between the <head> and </head> tags of each page where you want to show Auto ads. If you’re not sure how to do this, see Google’s Code implementation guide.

Which exact keywords pay the most CPC on Adsense?

SEMrush did a nice study on some of the best keywords by country here.

If you are looking for exact top paying keywords such as mesothelioma which pays $1000+ per click, you can check out the list compiled of 1M+ adsense keywords by GrepWords. For instance, they reported the ultimate top paying keyword “mesothelioma survival rates” at $1006.56 per click.

Here are a few of my favorite top paid keywords per industry found through SEMRush(data for 2020, 2020 and 2020, 2020):

Mesothelioma Keywords sorted by CPC

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that lines the lungs, stomach, heart, and other organs, and unfortunately can’t be cured. Nevertheless, treatment can help reduce the pain. People that contracted mesothelioma did so at their jobs so that is why you see searches like “mesothelioma attorneys”, “mesothelioma law firms” and “mesothelioma compensation”.

This is a very competitive keyword set so unless you can outrank WebMD and MayoClinic, I suggest you look for other industries.

Top Paying Keywords for the Lawyer Niche

Aw man, you still forgot my industry…

No worries, you can find all these keywords (and more!) by going into SEMRush and clicking on Keyword Analytics > Phrase Match (or Related Keywords), typing the keyword(s) that you want and then sorting by cost-per-click. 

Here are other ideas to do keyword hunting.

Now, onto my favorite part. The bonuses.

Bonus #1: Target these countries if you want to earn 10x more

Aiming for the right countries can really skyrocket your adsense earnings. Here are the top 10 countries to target:

No.	Country	Avg. CPC ($)	Max. CPC ($)	Avg. CTR %	Average RPM ($)
1	United States (US)	0.40 – 2.3	>50	2-3	2.04
2	Canada	0.50 – 2	>30	2	1.83
3	United Kingdom (UK)	0.10 – 1.6	>19	1-2	1.37
4	Germany	0.40 – 1	>11	1-3	2.62
5	Thailand	0.30 – 1	6	2	1.6
6	United Arab Emirates (UAE)	0.15 – 3.1	11	4	2.07
7	Japan	0.20 – 0.85	4	3	2.44
8	Switzerland	0.20 – 1	6	3	2.35
9	Italy	0.10 – 0.50	3	1-3	0.73
10	China	0.10-0.30	4	1-2	0.9

If you take a look at this chart, you will notice that most of the countries in this list are first-world countries.

How do you sasaran a particular country in your blog?

The easiest way is to blog in their native language. To get visitors from Canada, US, UK or australia, your blog must be in English. Similarly, write in German if you are looking for people from Deutschland.

You may also change your targeting settings under Search Console.

Bonus #2: Unlock even more revenue by blocking low CPC ads

As a publisher, you have a good amount of control as to which Ad Categories you want to show on your site.

If you are trying to raise the CPC, RPM or CPM of your Adsense ads, then I suggest you take a look at your ad performance and start blocking categories that are not paying well.

Here’s how you can do that.

1. Go to Adsense and on the left hand column click on “Blocking Controls > Content> All Sites”
2. Click on “General Categories”
3. Sort by % Earnings (Ascending).
4. In there you can take a look at which ads are taking a good amount of impressions but generating relatively low earnings.
   • For instance, let’s say the “Hobbies Games & Leisure” category is taking 4% of impressions yet just making 0.7% of your revenue, you can try and block it, and see if your performance improves.

You may also experiment by blocking certain ad networks. I haven’t personally tried this, but some people claim it works.

A word of caution: Don’t block too many categories (or ad networks) or else you will significantly reduce the bid competition and will start driving your revenue down.

Pro tip: Run Optimization Experiments

You can always run an Experiment (found under Optimization > Experiments) and see if blocking your ads yields more revenue or not.

You can also test if showing 50% of your total ads vs. 100% of ads yields more revenue.

Google Adsense experiments typically last for 10-30 days, up to 100 days (depending on your experiment and traffic).

For instance, I am running the experiment of blocking certain categories, and as you can see below I already started to see some good results (unfortunately Adsense policies prevent me from sharing the exact numbers).

Bonus #3: Steal your competitor’s lunch (aka. find which keywords are driving the most revenue to them)

What if you could view which keywords gets your competition the most clicks and revenue?

I’ll show you how I do it.

The process is very simple and uses SEMRush. (7 day free trial)

All you have to do is:

1. Find any authority site in your niche. (For the sake of example in online marketing, I will use my own site)
2. Type that site on the search kafe in SEMRush
3. Scroll to “Top Organic Keywords” and click on “See Full Report”
4. On that report, sort by CPC.
5. Voilá, you have a list of potential keywords that you can now use.
6. Rinse and repeat with other sites that you admire.

Once you do this process with 3-5 sites, you will have a good set of keywords that you can target. (By the way, you can hire someone on Fiverr or Freeeup [my favorite] to write quality articles for you so you don’t have to actually spend time doing it.) 

Bonus #4: Find more high paying keywords using Search Console

Did you know that Google already provides you with the keywords that you rank for?

What if you could optimize your existing blog posts to sasaran even better keywords?

Instead of spending tons of hours writing a thorough post, you could use update an old one and pick juicier keywords.

Here’s how.

1. Install the Keywords Everywhere Chrome Extension
2. Head to the Search Analytics under the Google Webmasters Tools
3. Choose your website
4. Be sure to check the Clicks, Impressions, CTR and Position boxes at the top

   

5. Filter by any specific page that you want keywords to show for: i.e. https://alejandrorioja.com/blog/high-cpc-adsense-keywords/
6. Since you installed the Keywords Everywhere tool you will see an additional 3 columns on your list, namely: Monthly Volume, CPC and Competition

   

7. Unfortunately you can’t sort by CPC so you will have to copy all the data into a spreadsheet and sort it there. I suggest you hit the Show 500 rows at the bottom of Webmaster tools.
8. I made a Google sheet for you that you can copy (File > Make a Copy..) to sort all your keywords.
9. Copy and paste all your keywords, and then hit the arrow on the column of CPC and sort from Z->A

   

10. Voila, you will see all the keywords that your blog post ranks for, all ranked from highest CPC to lowest CPC.

    

As you can see this last trick will yield keywords that might not be applicable to your blog post. In my case, “mesothelioma lawyer directory” does not apply to this specific post so I will just ignore it.

However, it will also find keywords that I am already getting impressions like “top paying keywords” but for which I am still ranked on page #2. The secret here is now to extend my existing blog post to include that new keyword so that my page gets bumped to page #1.

Pro tip: You can also sort by Volume or competition to find other hidden gems.

(Remember that now with the new RankBrain algorithm you shouldn’t sasaran each specific long tail keyword but rather target medium-tail keywords that cover a broader topic.)

Related: Remember you can also show ads on Youtube (here’s a fun guide to Youtube SEO). 

so, how can you make $100 a day with Adsense?

I don’t know about you, but 100 bucks a day on ads sounds like a good passive income to me ($3k/mo).

Let’s run some calculations to see what it would take to make $100/day on Adsense.

First, some assumptions.

• You are targeting US readers (as we saw earlier, US ads pay the most on average)
• Your CTR (click-through rate) is 1% (i.e. 1% of visitors click on ads)
• Your CPC is $0.50 (your niche is strong but your site is just getting started)
• Your RPM (revenue per 1000 impressions) is $2

 Btw, you can increase your earnings using Ezoic. (an ad tester platform)

With these numbers we can now calculate how many visitors we need to earn our sasaran amount.

The formula is = Visitors * CTR * CPC + Visitors/1000 * RPM 

So with 15,000 visitors per day we obtain around $100/day on Adsense.

(15,000 * 1% * $0.5 + 15,000/1000*$2 = $105/day)

But how do you obtain 15,000 page views per day? Is that reasonable?

Yes, it is reasonable. To do that, you can either

• produce 15 articles that get 1000 page views (hard)
• produce 150 articles that get 100 page views (much easier)
