Business Blogs Driven by High Paying Keywords

I read an interesting post on Slashdot about someone using a content oriented blog to drive traffic through his blog. Of course, this traffic to his blog can make money for him through affiliate links.

He generates content for his blog, Asbestos News, by using Google Alerts. Google Alerts will e-mail text message alerts based on daily search results from keywords. Michael Buffington, the site owner, automated the posts these text messages on his blog. Most blogs can receive posts via e-mail. People searching Google the keyword will see his blog listing highly. If they click through his blog and on one of his affiliate links, then he earns income (passive income).

Michael chose the keyword, asbestos because lawyers are paying up to $100 per thousand clicks on Google AdWords. I will be trying something similar later today to see what happens.

[I find DXGold related keywords pay from $20 to $60 per one thousand clicks. So if I get 111 impressions and 7 clicks that is a 6.3% click-through-rate and the ad group pays $30.18 per thousand clicks, then I get $3.35 in my Google AdSense account.]
