Loan Consolidation and Insurance Quotes: Serious CPC
SEOI'm not sure what keeps bringing me back to this fascination, but I hear about "that guy" who makes $X,XXX a month off of targeting web sites to specific valuable key-words. Any Google search you do for "expensive adwords" or "valuable cpc" etc is not short on results...which tells me that there must be a lot of money on the table for this type of activity.
BUT, whenever I get that urge to do some research on this topic I just can't help but feel like it is some kind of scam, or "dirty" in some regard.
Do any of you run these type of targeted key-word sites? Have you been hired to build some? Is it a scam to build this kind of site?
I can't decide...I guess my stance would be if the site adds to the betterment of the internet or provides some actual service to the user, then maybe it is perfectly fine to do so.
Just in case you haven't done any research in this area before, here are the to top 10 most expensive Adwords (as of 9/11/06) source

Robots and main page accessibility
SEOA day or two after this change, I began to notice a positive side-effect to including all of these titles as links on the main page...The robots (spiders) were crawling all through my site! I'm not 100% sure, but I can't imagine how this increased indexing would hurt my chances of being returned in some search results.
In a possibly related subject, a Google search for 'Aaron Lynch' now returns this page in the top 10 search results (#6 as of this entry) and an MSN search returns www.AaronJLynch.com as #3!
Does anybody want my autograph?
UPDATE 1/25/06: Either Google has changed my ranking somehow, or my switch to BlogCFC has harmed my accessibility somehow. I now turn up on like page 5 or something terrible. Back to the drawing board!
