what is mesothelioma? adwords?

what is mesothelioma? mesothelioma is cancer characterized by eating away of the lining of the lungs. the known cause is exposure to asbestos. officially,

Mesothelioma is a disease that is almost 100% preventable; the only known cause is via exposure to the deadly mineral Asbestos. It comes from inhaling the particles of dust as the asbestos degrades; eating away at the lining of your lungs and developing into a deadly cancer. Dust that was inhaled in clouds of white powder, dust that was carried home on the clothes of the men who built this country, dust that was cleaned from the clothes by the wives and children who supported their sole provider at home, dust that was packed around the heating systems in houses and offices and schools, dust that carried a deadly price; and dust made a fortune in blood money for the companies that produced it.

Unfortunately, the effects of asbestos on the human body were known to be deadly for years by the companies who employed the ‘greatest generation’ and made hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars off of their backs. But instead of taking simple steps to alleviate the problem and save the lives of thousands of their workers, they choose to do nothing and continue to make a “healthy” profit with a “deadly” product. Many even went so far as to hide the truth from their workers and their families. And because the normal latency period for Mesothelioma (The time from exposure until the patient falls ill) is 20 to 30 years, many got away with this for years. We are only now beginning to see the full effects of the disease, and feel the terrible outcry of the people against those who put profits before human lives to a degree that is simply unfathomable.

why a post about mesothelioma? well, it’s one of the highest paying adwords according to the new google adwords tool, which came out this week.

typically, when people talk about cost per click, people refer to the overture/yahoo bid tool. but, this week google came out with their own tool and one that is more relevant for users of adsense. i played around with it tonight and mesothelioma ($46 cpc) is one of the highest paying as well as lawyers services and, of course, mortgage and refinance related words.

here are the words i tested — just for fun:

ameriquest mortgage
auto accident attorney
car accident lawyer
consolidate loans
criminal defense attorney
equity mortgage
immigration lawyer
mesothelioma
mesothelioma lawyers
mesothelioma texas
mortgage refinance
mortgages
peritoneal mesothelioma
refinancing
refinancing mortgage
tax attorney
what is mesothelioma

unfortunately, the keyword “afro” only brings in $0.23 – $0.40 per click. dang.
