Good article today here about the priciest keywords on Google (I imagine these are US stats):

http://www.smartcompany.com.au/inte...y-smes-don-t-need-to-pay-more-to-keep-up.html

Here is the list:

1. Insurance (example keywords in this category include "buy car insurance online" and "auto insurance price quotes").
2. Loans (example keywords include "consolidate graduate student loans" and "cheapest homeowner loans").
3. Mortgage (example keywords include "refinanced second mortgages" and "remortgage with bad credit").
4. Attorney (example keywords include "personal injury attorney" and "dui defense attorney").
5. Credit (example keywords include "home equity line of credit" and "bad credit home buyer").
6. Lawyer ("personal injury lawyer," "criminal defense lawyer).
7. Donate ("car donation centers," "donating a used car").
8. Degree ("criminal justice degrees online," "psychology bachelors degree online").
9. Hosting ("hosting ms exchange," "managed web hosting solution").
10. Claim ("personal injury claim," "accident claims no win no fee").
11. Conference Call ("best conference call service," "conference calls toll free").
12. Trading ("cheap online trading," "stock trades online").
13. Software ("crm software programs," "help desk software cheap").
14. Recovery ("raid server data recovery," "hard drive recovery laptop").
15. Transfer ("zero apr balance transfer," "credit card balance transfer zero interest").
16. Gas/Electricity ("business electricity price comparison," "switch gas and electricity suppliers").
17. Classes ("criminal justice online classes," "online classes business administration").
18. Rehab ("alcohol rehab centers," "crack rehab centers").
19. Treatment ("mesothelioma treatment options," "drug treatment centers").
20. Cord Blood ("cordblood bank," "store umbilical cord blood").

Conference call is a funny one.... Wouldn't have thought there's that much money in this industry to reflect these prices

Found the cord blood one interesting. Some great business areas there.

Found some of the comments interesting,

The keyword categories with the highest volumes and costs represent businesses with very high lifetime customer value – in other words, these industries can afford to pay a lot to acquire a new customer.

This represents a problem for many SMEs which find themselves in the same categories as these larger businesses. With all the generic keywords requiring thousands of dollars – money they don't have – many business find themselves priced out valuable keywords, resulting in little search traffic.

In reality they probably have a business model that isn't particularly viable. Adwords is a very simple test for an online business in my view. If it can't convert traffic profitably then I would think it is going to struggle.
