  1. Excellent work Mark. What have you done in terms of checking out the competition on those keywords?

    • Thanks, buddy. I checked the competition using the method that Josh explains in his report. I’m not trying to be coy, but out of courtesy to Josh, I won’t go into much detail. However, I will say this much: the amount of work you do to check the competition is not very time-consuming at all. :)

      Btw, I’m in the middle of reading your latest entry about high-paying keywords. Very interesting.

      • Fair enough. I have read Josh’s report a few months ago but maybe I should re-read it. My only “problem” with it is that they’re talking about VERY high CTR and it also assumes that you’re able to get the full value out of every click. That is not the experience I have when making money with Adsense so I feel that the “promise” is a little too glorious ;)

        • I don’t recall exactly when, but he updated it earlier this year, so maybe it has more clarification.

          About the CTR, well, that would be optimal, yes, but I can’t speak much to that. It can be hit or miss with any keyword you target, of course. So my plan is to drop the sites that don’t perform, keep the ones that do, and keep researching for more new niches.

          • I believe that it was the updated version I read but I’ll go check.

            There is no question that Josh’s idea works brilliantly but I still believe that people will need to be a little more realistic and especially if they are beginners. Everything that is explained can be done but as you say it won’t work on every site and probably not even on every 3 or 4 sites.

            Getting a CTR of 20% while still maintaining a average of $1.00 per click will require more skill and practice than you’ll get from the ebook (IMO) but it’ll definitely get you going and for that it is perfect. ;)

    Isn’t that CPC a bit high or am I backwards?

    • I’m not clear on what you have backwards, but I’ll explain that CPC is cost per click (second column from the left). That’s what advertisers are willing to bid on for the keywords. The higher that number is, the better for you and me. Or are you referring to the search numbers?

    Dennis, CPC is the cost of the click regardless of who is paying it. Simple rule: if you’re using Adwords (you are paying for your ads to be on Google or some other site) you want the CPC to be as low as possible. If you’re using Adsense (someone else is paying to have their ads on your site) you want it to be as high as possible.
