If you’re choosing a topic with the goal of writing for cash, look at what fetches the highest Adwords costs. Adwords is the flip side of AdSense.
Google charges for the premium words and you can write on those premium topics. When you do that, the Adsense generated ads will be complimentary to your content. Yes, this is pandering. You’re either going to write for passion or profit (hopefully both). If you choose the latter, here’s a recently generated list of topics / keywords that fetch the big money:
- Insurance (example keyword: “auto insurance price quotes”)
- Loans (example keyword: “consolidate graduate student loans”)
- Mortgage (example keyword: “refinanced second mortgages”)
- Attorney (example keyword: “personal injury attorney”)
- Credit (example keyword: “home equity line of credit”)
- Lawyer
- Donate
- Degree
- Hosting
- Claim
- Conference Call
- Trading
- Software
- Recovery
- Transfer
- Gas/Electricity
- Classes
- Rehab
- Treatment
- Cord Blood
