Series Recap: High-Paying Keyword Lists
Since my move to WordPress, I’m hoping more people will find this blog and the over two years of AdSense-related content I’ve created. To this end I will on occasion to a recap of some of my better articles from yesteryears gone by. This first recap is all about high-paying keywords and those keyword lists you see people flogging all the time.
The High-Paying Keywords Series
If you haven’t read this before, I’m sure you’ll find it useful now. Here are the five parts of the series:
- The kinds of high-paying keyword lists
- How high-paying keyword lists are created
- The problems with high-paying keyword lists
- Understanding keyword popularity
- Why keyword lists are useful
Note that there currently aren’t any forward references in these articles, I haven’t had time to fix them up. (There are only backwards references to the previous parts.) You’ll want to go back to this page after reading one part to get to the next one.
Has Anything Changed?
Now you might be wondering if anything’s changed since I first wrote those articles. Not substantially, no. Keyword lists of both kinds abound, as do various keyword tools. (If you’re in the market for one, the two I recommend are Keyword Elite and AdSenseAccelerator — I use both.) Google still doesn’t release the same kind of data that Yahoo does via its Overture tools, although there’s some worry that the latter will eventually disappear. The bum marketing trend has shifted some of the focus to low-competition, moderately popular long-tail keywords, but people still want to know which keywords are being searched for the most and which ones pay big bucks. I don’t expect this to change much ever…

I’m not much into keyword lists, per se…as it runs against my personal philosophy to tackle a market just because there’s money to be made, or because I can slap together (or scrape) some content and throw up a site for it.
However, what I’ve always been lousy at is general keyword reseach for my existing sites…or ones that I am developing because I have something unique to offer in the market.
I was looking at some keyword services this morning. Wordtracker has always been pricey, and Keyword Discovery is very expensive unless that’s how you make your living (keyword research, etc). Have you had any experience with NicheBot? I’ve been watching them grow over the past 2-3 years, and it seems like they’ve got a pretty good thing going. Either 10 or 20 bucks a months…depending on usage. And I always give some credibility to the fact that, in a crowded market like “keyword research”, someone locks down top position on Google.
I am considering taking the plunge, and was just curious if you’ve used them.
I’m familiar with NicheBOT, yes, but I haven’t actually used it. I have used its predecessor, NicheBOT Classic, which is still up and running and is free. I’d give it a try first. It’s one of the resources I mention in my Profitable Niche Discovery course, BTW. Generally, though, I find that between Keyword Elite and AdSenseAccelerator I have more than enough keyword data available.
Your link to Adsense Accelerator…the one in the article, not the comments…returns an error.
Oops, had a typo in the link. Thanks, fixed it!
