David Blaine Drowned Alive keyword analysis

Man, are we suckers for that creepy David Blaine street magician guy. Tonight, he attempted to hold his breath for nine minutes under water while escaping from handcuffs. Well, he fell just short of eight minutes and didn't manage to free himself. All the same, the feat was impressive as he attempted this stunt after spending something like 177 hours submerged underwater. And you've just gotta like the guy because he does some amazing @#$%.

In any event, we were wondering what the keywords related to this event were worth. Not shockingly, street magician, Navy SEALs, Lincoln Center, sharks, and free diving all receive relatively low traffic and CPC bids around $0.60 or less. Magic was by far the highest traffic getter of these terms and topped out at $1.04/click from the highest positions.

David Blaine and, surprisingly, drowned were both worth up to more than $1.10/click whereas Fiona Apple, Houdini, and prison were dogs at less than $0.30/click. (Okay, Fiona was kind of a stretch as a related term, but for some reason, everyone seems to remember her milling about one of Blaine's stunts.) Lastly Palm Casino was clearing up to $1.54/click and roulette up to $1.95/click at the time of this research.

What does this tell us? Gambling good, magic mediocre.
