An AdSense Blog: Make Easy Money with Google
One of the readers who contacted me, Frederick Zimmerman, has gone further and applied the niche approach to the keyword list itself, which I thought was interesting enough to mention here. What he’s done is quite clever. He created a list of pharmaceutical product names from the US Food and Drug Administration’s official guide, the “Orange Book”. After some cleanup, he submitted it to AdWords to get cost and traffic estimates. And now he’s selling it as an e-book on Amazon:

Top-Paying Google AdSense and AdWords Keywords for Pharmaceuticals

Not many publishers go the Amazon route, most prefer to use a service like ClickBank that offers affiliate programs and the like. Zimmerman thinks the Amazon route is more reputable, and I can see some validity in that view.

What’s even cleverer is that he’s also included the keyword information in spreadsheet format embedded within the book itself — just click on the link and it loads into Excel, ready for manipulation.

Disclaimer: Zimmerman sent me the list, unsolicited, for my opinion. If you’re looking to write pharmaceutical-targeted content, it seems like a reasonable source of information on what’s hot and what’s not among advertisers. All the usual caveats about taking keyword lists too seriously apply, of course. (If you’ve got a keyword list you want me to review, go ahead and sent it to me, I’m compiling a list of them for reference.)

BERLIN — A Muslim cultural institute in Germany on Monday criticized Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad for disparaging the Holocaust, daring him to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp.

“In this place of horror he can again deny the Holocaust, if he has the courage,” a spokesman for the Islam-Archiv-Deutschland Central Institute told the German Catholic press agency KNA.

In recent statements, the hardline Iranian president has dismissed the Nazis’ systematic slaughter of mainland Europe’s Jews as a “myth” used to justify the creation of Israel and called for the state to be “wiped off the map”.

By denying the Holocaust, Ahmadinejad not only denigrated the Jewish victims of the genocide but also the 200,000 Roms and Arabs murdered in the “gypsy camp” of Auschwitz-Birkenau and other camps, the institute spokesman said.

The fact that the president of an Islamic state repeated Nazi anti-Semitism was harmful to the image of Islam and “a disgrace for all the world’s Muslims”, he added.

The institute, founded in 1927, is the oldest Muslim body in Germany. It has been dedicated to preserving the community’s archives since the eighteenth century and fostering relations between Muslims and other religions.

Right on.
