Keyword Cost???

I am advertising some keywords in my Local Area (Ft. Laud, Fla.)

The Cost Estimator in Google...for High Competion KW's is WAY OFF.....Google is estimating $3 per click to get on the first page...and the real estimate is closer to $10...(sigh).

Is there any way to get "true costs estimates of a keyword in Google or Yahoo...?

Your constructive input is greatly appreciated!

Type in an ad and set your bid. That will be the true cost.

If the cost is way high you might be able to improve your landing page relevance and how it matches your ad to get a lower number.

Taking the Google Adwords Professional course might help.

tHANKS EGOL,

It doesn't seem reasonable that companies will pay $30 per click on KW "Insurance"...seems like its very high.

I don't see how any company can stay in business with that kind of Cost incured.
