Check this out
Some of us may not realize that Google Adwords CPC’s (Cost per Click), the amount we pay for a click on a keyword, is a variable. There is NO SUCH THING AS A $.10 KEYWORD! Neither is there such thing as a $.50 keyword, or a $5.00 keyword. This is because Google’s base CPC, the minimum you must pay to trigger your ad for a given keyword, varies.

Ads cost money, and if they aren’t returning more profit than they cost, they don’t last too long.There are caveats to that theory, most notably […]

Keyword Spy can cut the time it takes to build a keyword list down from hours or days to a matter of seconds. One of the best features is that their return for results happens instantaneously. Most keyword tools take minutes to hours to return results, but you never have to wait when using Keyword Spy. Simply put in a term like flowers, and it will return all the competitors on Google who are bidding on the term flowers. Then you can look at each competitor, and find out all the keywords with the word flowers they are bidding on. In a matter of moments, you can get someone's whole adwords keyword list -- sometimes having more than 27,000 terms!
You can export these terms with one click of a mouse button. This is another strong point with using this tool.
Besides building keyword lists instantly, keyword spy also returns information on how many competitors are bidding on each keyword, the ad effectiveness of a keyword based on its position/rank on search engines result page, and the approximated price pay per click of the advertisement advertising under the keyword.
Is the keyword spy tool right for you? Can it increase your ad campaign profits a hundred times over, as their website claims? I'm not sure, but you can find out for free. Simply go to [http://improveyourinternetmarketing.com/keywordspy.htm] and sign up for a free trial and find out for yourself if it is right for your keyword researching needs.
