Hi. What are some of the highest paying keywords in google adsense? Has anyone made more than $10 per click using these keywords? Do they really work?
Google is smart enough to realize that some people will try to look for the highest paying Adsense keywords — and made sure that people who do will not fully benefit from it.
There was a time when everyone wanted to do a website on "Mesothelioma" when it was reported that advertisers were paying $100+ per click for this keyword. Unfortunately for Adsense publishers chasing this holy grail, all they got was a few cents per click — definitely NOT the $100 per click they were expecting
Google has this thing called SMARTPRICING which basically discounts the value of clicks on your site. No one knows how this actually works. But it can affect the pricing of the ads on your site. If the advertiser paid for $0.50/click – but your site is smartpriced – then the cost may be discounted lower (e.g. $0.25). So you may try to develop a site based on high paying keywords but if smartpricing gets to you, then you may not get as much per click as what you are expecting from your keywords.
Here is Google’s explanation of smart pricing https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9562&query=smart+pricing&topic=0&type=f

Google’s smart pricing feature automatically adjusts the cost of a keyword-targeted content click based on its effectiveness compared to a search click. So if our data shows that a click from a content page is less likely to turn into actionable business results — such as online sales, registrations, phone calls, or newsletter signups — we reduce the price you pay for that click.

So chasing after these so called high paying Adsense keywords is often a futile and useless effort if Google deems your site to be nothing but an attempt to chase after these keywords.
