There's a Google AdSense iPhone App but no Adwords App?


I just downloaded the Google AdSense app for my iPhone. It's actually pretty nice! But that wasn't what I was looking for. I was searching for the AdWords app and it doesn't exist. That would be great if Google decided to develop that. In the mean time though I will actually enjoy reviewing my AdSense stats using that app.

Jets Pizza Coupons VS Pizza Hut Coupons

So I just ordered pizza from Jets and supposedly used a coupon but in all honesty the discount really didn't seem too much. I love their pizza a lot and it sure beats Pizza Hut, Papa Johns and Dominos. However, it is expensive. I ordered two large pizzas, each with one topping and my total came to almost $30 dollars.

Jets Pizza Coupons VS Pizza Hut Coupons


Strange, because you'd think a smaller pizza chain would want to capture more of the market. Their total marketshare in a way can be revealed simply by using Google AdWords Keyword Planner. As you can see, Jets pizza coupons gets around 22,200 monthly searches. Compare that to Pizza Hut coupons with 368,000. That's quite a big difference. I never realized how much of the market Pizza Hut had. That's kind of an amazing discovery actually.

HIPAA Compliant Linux Web Servers

Here's an interesting keyword phrase: HIPAA compliant linux web servers. Based on my research it doesn't appear to get any monthly searches. But the hidden jewels with this phrase are deep within.

HIPPA compliant linux web servers


First off blogs are free. I mean you can pay for a domain name if you want and even pay for web hosting. But that's totally optional. And that's one of the things I like most about Blogger. Blogger can be free or if I really want to step things up I can make a full-fledged domain name website on it and still have it hosted free.

Second thing is that blog sites and blog posts last forever. I have written posts almost 10 years ago and the content is still online earning money through ad clicks.

My point is this. Sometimes it doesn't matter if a keyword phrase I research reports no monthly traffic. For starters, I think eventually someone will search for it. The second point is that when someone does find my page through search, there's a good chance one of my ads will get clicked on.

Third element is what I call the hidden jewels. In this example, the phrase HIPAA compliant linux web servers triggers other ads that AdWords advertisers are bidding high amounts on.

Forth thing is that if I decide to make an entire website based on this phrase, I'll be in a better position to eventually target some of the higher competitive keyword phrases.

It took me about 10 minutes to research the keyword phrase and write and publish this page. And over the next ten years I'll probably get around 100 ads clicks on it. Assuming I get an average of $0.50 per click, that equates to $50 dollars. That's not too bad for 10 minutes of work.

Depending on how things play out, I may decide to invest more time by writing about how HIPAA compliant linux web servers work or how much they cost or what this type of service actually means.

Early Childhood Development Classes Chicago IL

I have two special needs children. Early childhood development was of utmost importance. Ironically, doing a little keyword research I discovered that the keyword phrase, "Early Childhood Development Classes" was a hot commodity item. Take a look at the screenshot below:


It's reported that the phrase, "Early Childhood Development Classes" has a suggested bid price of $15.85. In the keyword by relevance report, it's shown that the phrase: "online courses early childhood eduction" has a suggested AdWords bid amount of $96.95. This is PER CLICK! Insane; absolutely insane.

That said, and once again, as you'll start to notice: this is a viable phrase to target as long as you tack on a city to it -- such as what I did on this page (i.e. Early Childhood Development Classes Chicago IL).

Search Results For Early Childhood Development Classes Chicago IL


Search Results for Early Childhood Development Classes Chicago IL

The search results for the phrase Early Childhood Development Classes Chicago IL has interesting results. There just under 5 million results for the query; which is good! Phrases that return results in the billions are ones you have to watch out for. Second thing to look at are the sponsored listings. Pretty much all slots are filled. Seeing this along with looking at the bid prices tells me that clicks would likely pay pretty decently. The third thing to look at is the top two results. They're both from the same domain. And the forth thing to look at; I'll show you on the screenshot below:

Early Childhood Development Classes Chicago IL Search Results
At the time of posting this, this page is the only result returned with the search term wrapped in quotes. There's many other elements I look at when I choose keyword phrases to target; however based on what I have explained already this seems to be an excellent keyword phrase to build content on. It would probably take a small blog with about five to ten really good articles in order to pull rank. I think the time invested would pay off pretty well. 





Charter Business Phone Service Chicago IL

Are you looking for Charter business phone services based out of Chicago IL. I'm not! Instead, I'm just here to make a post about how I discovered how much people are bidding on the keyword phrase, "Charter Business Phone Service".

Granted the competition is high for this keyword phrase so I advise that if you're going to try to target this keyword phrase that you tack on cities such as what I just did in this example: "Charter Business Phone Service Chicago IL."


As you can see shown on the screenshot above, there's not a high search count for this keyword phrase, plus competition is high. To make matter worse, you're diluting monthly searches down to fractions when you tack on a city to the query.

However, for a keyword phrase where bidders are paying $159.86, even if you get one click in six months it's worth it. That said, I don't think this keyword phrase is worthy of having an entire website built upon it. Instead a simple page, based on other prior content relevancy should do.


Let's look at the screenshot above. Here's how I see the situation: First off, the heavy sponsored listings validate my back-end research. But secondly, despite the high rated level of competition, I see this as a keyword phrase that I could easily rank for based on city. The above screenshot shows the search results for: charter business phone service chicago il. Look at the top organic results. First result is YellowPages, second is the home page of Charter Communications and third is the better business bureau.

That says algorithm all over it. That tells me that Google's AI has kicked into gear because Googlebot couldn't find any relevant content generated by a human such as a blogger. Thus that all tells me that this is a keyword phrase worth pursuing. Again, I recommend targeting individual cities. Smaller ones preferably. The only reason why I plugged Chicago is because I wanted to see the results after getting indexed to see how where things stand.

Anyway, before I sign off on this topic I need to say that I speak from personal experience on this: Charter Communications sucks. Their service is terrible, their customer service and support is terrible and their technical support is terrible. I was a Charter Communications customer by force for many years. I'm really glad that where I live now I have options available. In other words, I get to choose between multiple crappy service providers.

How to Find Keywords That Make Money

On this page my aim is to teach you how to find keywords that make money. There's a lot of programs out there that supposedly will get the job done. Some cost money and then some are free but come with strings attached. The one and only program I like to use is Google AdWords. It's free and it's tied directly into the database of keywords I want to work with.

Inside Google AdWords, I use a program called Keyword Planner. Business owners typically use this tool to find and bid on keywords for their website. I use it for opposite reasons. I want to find keywords that pay a lot of money per click. 

I start my search using a simple word. In this example, I will use the word "wheelchair". 



It's obvious that the word wheelchair would be too difficult to rank for. So I choose a keyword phrase that I think I can rank for instead. Also the phrase I choose has to show that it pays a lot of money per click. In this example, I chose the keyword phrase "cerebral palsy wheelchair".


As you can see AdWords bidders are being suggested to bid up to $28.08 for a click on this keyword phrase. So that means to me that this keyword phrase is a good topic to write about. And that's pretty much it. That's how I find keywords that make money.
