Basic adsense questions

[Ferox]

It's such a complicated little advertising tool and it's starting to frustrate me.

I'd like to get up to earing $4 a month, so that way I can cash out in two years

I've got the adds on page set up so that they don't offend me, and their relevance is increasing. I don't need to know about colour schemes or placement or types of adds etc.

What I'd like to know is if there is a free tool anywhere that will let me compare keywords with each other so that I can write a few higher-value posts, and whether it only compares cost per click or whether it counts cost per thousand impressions.

I'm sure I will have more questions as I go.

Play with this tool. Also when you put in Estimate AVG CPC put in a high $ ration so you'll see exactly what's going on. Look for one with high search, low competition, good CPC and then search the terms on google and see who is coming up.

Don't get greedy go for something you like. All the UBER high paying niches are the UBER competitive ones... Who would of thought!?

Adsense is odd, sometimes you will have little to no traffic and receive a high CTR other times you may get high traffic and not a single click.
