Top 25 List of the Highly Paid Google AdSense Keywords
These top 25 Highest paying keywords mentioned in this list of 25 top paying Google AdSense or AdWords keywords are based on the highest paying Google Ads.for the year of 2011. If you own/run a website, write a blog, article or Lens, then definitely you must have, at some point of time. thought about to use those topics which are related to the the highest paid keywords. But, honestly speaking, i don’t recommend you to write your blogs according to to the keywords. The reason is that ‘keyword-consciousness’ will spoil your originality and you will lose the natural flow in your blog writings. If you base your writings not on keywords then you will automatically gain the value of your writings through other sources other than ‘keyword finding sources’, and this added value will be much more long lasting. Though, there are other means of SEO to improve your blog rankings in the eyes of search engines. And still you need to know the highest paying AdSense keywords then you can also check it from the keyword tool with your own Google AdSense account. Some bloggers or webmasters simply can’t afford to ignore the use of ‘oh so hot’ keywords in their website or blog post. You can further search for ‘day to day’ updated keywords list by using the “best keywords, top keywords for Google Adsense & Adwords, hot keywords, top 10 highly paid keywords, and
god knows what more ! “ This list of the highest paid keywords keep changing as their value in Google AdWords changes according to the bids on daily basis.

Though, most writers, bloggers don’t care about how low or high rated their ‘niche keywords’ are in Google AdWords or AdSense. They are driven by their own interest, passion and expertise. BUT,still, there is a large part of the blogger breed who are almost completely driven/motivated by money and keyword cost. So, the larger part of the readers of this list of top 25 most expensive keywords belongs to the latter type of bloggers.
