Those of you that know me
well will not be surprised
that many many of my
articles are very focused on
income, that said..... many
of them are not. I am
however, like many
AdSense users, aware of
the great potential that the
Christmas period brings;
not just for specific
Christmas related content
either. Consumer spending
rises in most parts of the
developed world, plus
winter in the Northern
Hemisphere means darker
and colder nights. It
doesn't take a genius to
work out that more
Internet users, coupled
with increased money flow,
means that their are sitting
ducks out there for rich
pickings. Don't expect them
all to come to you though,
try writing articles with
Christmas in the headline,
and start doing it now (as I
write this it is the 19th
September). I have been a
big scrooge since the age of
about 16, when Christmas
seemed to automatically
lose it's profitability, and
for that reason I am
certainly not the ideal
candidate for writing
directly related Xmas stuff.
Instead, I am going to try
and give you all a little
inspiration and drive, and
then ask that you post links
to any hubs that this list of
keywords inspired.

A Note On Google CPC
I have seen other hubpages
articles which list
potentially high paying
articles, buts gives the
impression to the reader
that the CPC is the amount
the publisher takes from a
click. This is incorrect. The
CPC is the amount that an
advertiser is recommended
to bid for that particular
keyword phrase. The
amount that they actually
pay can be less, and then
Google takes a big slice for
its operating costs, another
big slice for its bottom line,
and the publisher is left
with an amount that a) we
are not allowed to disclose,
and b) often varies anyway.
Therefore your guess is as
good as mine with regards
to how much you can
actually take away from
these keywords. As a
general rule however, the
higher the CPC the higher
your likely revenue per
click. And that is before
even taking into
consideration the
competition, one of my
highest earning articles is
focused around a keyword
with a 20p (30c) CPC. If you
can't catch the search
engine traffic, you won't
win the clicks.
SEO Positioning
The only thing that I am
not going to do for you is
to research the search
engine competition.
Remember that I am
passing these keywords on
to you, it is not in my
interests to spend too
much time researching
keywords that I am not
going to use. Your primary
concern here is the Page
Rank of the first page
results on search engines,
particularly Google, the
best way to determine this
(at least the best free way)
is to download the 'Firefox
SEO' add-on for the errr....
well the Firefox Browser
obviously. You could just
determine the number of
Google search results for
each keyword; although
this is a crap and lazy way
to analyse the competition.
If you see a keyword on
this list that you like the
look of, it is up to you to
determine whether you
think that you can backlink
your way to a decent SEO
positioning.
