A niche keyword list for pharmaceuticals: Top-Paying Google AdSense and AdWords Keywords for Pharmaceuticals

I've had some good feedback on my recent mini-series on keyword lists. Those are the lists you use to find a potentially profitable (with the emphasis on potentially) niche for your content. One of the readers who contacted me, Frederick Zimmerman, has gone further and applied the niche approach to the keyword list itself, which I thought was interesting enough to mention here. What he's done is quite clever. He created a list of pharmaceutical product names from the US Food and Drug Administration's official guide, the “Orange Book”. After some cleanup, he submitted it to AdWords to get cost and traffic estimates. And now he's selling it as an e-book on Amazon:

Top-Paying Google AdSense and AdWords Keywords for Pharmaceuticals

Not many publishers go the Amazon route, most prefer to use a service like ClickBank that offers affiliate programs and the like. Zimmerman thinks the Amazon route is more reputable, and I can see some validity in that view.

What's even cleverer is that he's also included the keyword information in spreadsheet format embedded within the book itself — just click on the link and it loads into Excel, ready for manipulation.

Disclaimer: Zimmerman sent me the list, unsolicited, for my opinion. If you're looking to write pharmaceutical-targeted content, it seems like a reasonable source of information on what's hot and what's not among advertisers. All the usual caveats about taking keyword lists too seriously apply, of course. (If you've got a keyword list you want me to review, go ahead and sent it to me, I'm compiling a list of them for reference.)

I would be curious to know if any readers would like to see me release Uncommon AdSense via Amazon in addition to or instead of using ClickBank. I already have an ISBN For it, so it probably wouldn't be that hard to get it done.
