Check Out The 20 Most Expensive Keywords on Google Adwords

 

WOW..... Here is a great infographic and article from Wordstream showing the 20 Most Expensive Keywords as per Google.

Basically shows which keywords have the highest Cost Per Click (CPC) and which ones are being searched the most on Google. Since Google makes 97% of their revenue from advertising on Google websites this means that a big chunk of the 32.2 BILLION in total revenue  they made in the 3rd Quarter falls on the shoulders of these industries. Yes they made 32.2 Billion in one quarter.

This is even more reason why you should rely on a professional to manage your Pay-Per-Click campaign and more over rely on smart technology available to manage your campaign based on conversion and not clicks because as this articles show clicks can be expensive.

1. Insurance ("buy car insurance online" and "auto insurance price quotes")
