Are 5 cent keywords even possible anymore?
- SEO |
I am a new poster to this forum but have read posts on WF for the past couple of years...this post is in regards to marketing an ebook I wrote.
I have used the keyword selector tool numerous times to dig through and find long-tail keywords that have little or no competition and then I googled each keyword and confirmed that there is indeed little to no competition in the search results.
The estimated CPC for these keywords is listed at .05. Then when I activated the adwords campaign, the minimum bid adwords would accept is $1.00 all the way up to $4.75. I balked at this but entered the amount that I was prompted to enter - I thought maybe I could still see actual clicks in the .05 - .25 range.
Not the case - I am being charged .89 to $2.50 for each and every click on these keywords. There is no way I can afford to do this - my whole strategy is to capture low CPC, long-tail keywords with little competition - which are out there mind you (according to the keyword selector tool at least).
Can somebody explain this discrepancy to me please? My bottom line is I want to capture .05-.25 keywords - is this even possible any more? If so, please tell me how!
Thank you for taking time to read my post.
