CPM Google Adsense?
Wow, check this out from today's Wall Street Journal:
Among the changes: Google will let advertisers run animated display ads on non-Google content sites that contract with Google to sell ads. It will allow advertisers to specify the sites on which they want their ads to appear, without having to pick a keyword tied to the content on a page. It will begin auctioning ad placements for its partner sites based on how many people see the ad, known as cost per impression, as well as its traditional cost-per-click method.

Keyword Density Tools
A big part of search engine optimization is keyword density. In other words, what percentage of your page's content is your keyword or keyphrase (usually excluding words like "and","of", "the", etc).
To help you along, there are a PILE of online keyword density tools that help you determine what your keyword density. Unfortunately, there's a lot of conflicting opinions on how much keyword density matters to the search engines in terms of determining your page's relevance.
Here's a link to an old thread from WebmasterWorld on keyword density tools (and how their results differ) as well as links to several online tools you can play with:

Is your keyword product-based?
Google AdSense is a great way to make some money off of your Web site. But don't pigeonhole yourself. Consider affiliating your site with another Internet giant: eBay.
If your keyword is product-based, you could start making online sales today by opening a storefront on eBay
. Food for thought.

Finding Good Affiliate Niches
WebmasterWorld.com recently re-highlighted an old thread from 2002 that still holds great relevance today. There's great advice on how to research what the best industry, keyword, niche, etc. you should be getting yourself into.
Finding Good Affiliate Niches
Google Adsense, SEO, SERP, CPC... WTF?
The following is the original intro we composed for keyWorthy to help give our beginner users an idea about what the value of a keyword is in VERY general terms:
"There are webmasters making money hand over fist from having well-optimized web sites with 'good' keywords. The clever ones aren't even making their money off of product sales or traditional online banner advertising. How are they making money off of their so-called 'good' keywords then?
Many of them are raking in the dough through Google Adsense text ads -- as well as other cost per click (CPC) text ad networks. Certain keywords generate extremely high organic traffic through the inherent popularity of the keyword or keyphrase itself. The traffic is actualized through proper search engine optimization (SEO) and high Google PageRank that hopefully result in high search engine results page (SERP) rankings. Other keywords have extremely high CPCs due to the advertisers having large margins on conversions brought to them through these text ads. Some keywords have both high traffic and high CPCs.
keyWorthy is here to help you search thoroughly, search easily, and search quickly through many of the free resources on the web to make choosing the best keyword or keyphrase for your web site less of a headache."
Search Engine Algorithms
In case you're semi-new to the game, all search engines use some sort of algorithm to determine the relevance and importance of a web page to help determine how high (if at all) that page will get ranked in search engine results. We thought we'd pass a long a recent general posting from Search Engine Watch and and an older article from WebWorkShop detailing early formulas Google used to help determine PageRank (which weigh heavily on search engine results and rankings).
