Highest CPC Keywords and Best Adsense Niches [2021]
To be a successful
Adsense publisher you need a lot of traffic but you also need that traffic to
engage with the ads that are being displayed on your site.
The Adsense
CPC that you get paid will depend on the topics that you write
about.
In the world of
blogging, you can either write articles that will compete for clicks that will
pay a few cents or be strategic and write content that will pay the big bucks.
If you are serious
about making money online with Adsense and building a successful business, I suggest you
target these top paying keywords and industries.
Also, I suggest
you try Ezoic to automatically automize your ads.

Why do these
Adsense keywords pay so much?
Because the
companies behind the ads have a high customer value and can afford to spend a
few hundred bucks to acquire a customer. It all boils down to their business economics.
So, how can you
profit from this data and rake in thousands of dollars each month?
Let’s run through a
hypothetical example.
- You notice that insurance related blogs will carry a high CPC.
- You then research a few keywords and find that “car insurance
companies” pays decently well.
- You get to writing the best article you can on car insurance
companies
- With an amazing on-page SEO, you are able to get your blog post high on google rankings,
- You get a good amount of high quality organic traffic to your site,
and then monetize into more Adsense revenue.
Which Adsense
ads pay the most?
In addition to
picking the best niche for adsense, you also have options as to which ad type
to show. The options are: 1) text & display 2) matched content 3) in-feed
and 4) in-article.
In my own
experiments, I’ve found higher click through rates with native
in-article ads. Those ads perform the best on any of my sites.
The in-article ads
will naturally blend with your content and display midway through your blog
post. I like these types of ads because they are contextual and usually receive
a good amount of clicks.
Sidebar ads are not
as good since we are already trained to tune them out.
You can also
try Matched Content if you have another content you’d like to
promote.
Pro tip: Use
Auto Ads by Google
Adsense Auto Ads
take advantage of machine learning and place themselves automatically on your
site where Google thinks they will perform well.
Google has been
testing the Auto Ads feature as a beta since September of 2017 and recently
(early March) released this feature to everyone.
Since Google has
millions (if not billions) of sites to test, they will most likely be better
than you or me when figuring out the right type and placement of the ads.
The only downside
of this is that you won’t have much control of how many ads are shown or where
they are placed, which if you are picky, might annoy you.
To
set up Auto ads on your site, follow these stepsSign in to your AdSense account.
- In the left navigation panel, click My ads.
- Click Auto ads.
- On the “Choose your global settings” page, use the controls to
select the ad formats that you’d like to show.
- Leave Automatically get new formats selected if
you want AdSense to automatically add new ad formats to your global
settings as they become available.
- Click Save.
- On the “Place code on your page” page, click Copy code.
- Paste the ad code between the <head> and </head> tags
of each page where you want to show Auto ads. If you’re not sure how to do
this, see Google’s Code implementation guide.

Which exact
keywords pay the most CPC on Adsense?
SEMrush did a nice
study on some of the best keywords by country here.
If you are looking
for exact top paying keywords such as mesothelioma which pays
$1000+ per click, you can check out the list compiled of 1M+ adsense keywords
by GrepWords. For instance, they reported the ultimate top paying keyword
“mesothelioma survival rates” at $1006.56 per click.
Here
are a few of my favorite top paid keywords per industry found through SEMRush (data for 2017, 2018 and 2019,
2020):
Mesothelioma
Keywords sorted by CPC
Mesothelioma is a
type of cancer that lines the lungs, stomach, heart, and other organs, and
unfortunately can’t be cured. Nevertheless, treatment can help reduce the pain.
People that contracted mesothelioma did so at their jobs so that is why you see
searches like “mesothelioma attorneys”, “mesothelioma law firms” and
“mesothelioma compensation”.
This is a very
competitive keyword set so unless you can outrank WebMD and MayoClinic, I
suggest you look for other industries.

Being a lawyer must
be nice. You get to dress in a suit (which I love) and you also get to afford
to spend exorbitant amounts of money for website traffic. Not too shabby.

Bitcoin CPC
Adsense KWs
I threw this one in
because the crypto space is just so hot right now.
These keywords are not the highest paying on my article roundup but I expect
their cost per click to rise in the coming years.
Aside: I personally
just love blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Actually, I love it so much that
with my company Flux Ventures we launched an entire division just to buy and sell bitcoin and alt-coins.
