Since we plugged in the Google AdSense program that delivers those wonderfully pertinent ads at the top of Trainjotting, we’ve taken a new interest in a concept we’re calling clickonomics. In short, we get paid a little somethin’ every time someone clicks on an ad; while some clicks pay literally a penny, some pay a few bucks. (Believe me, the latter are few and far between.)

And according to a new study from CyberWyre, the most expensive search term out there, based on “Average Cost Per Click,” is “mesothelioma treatment options” at a whopping $69.10 per click, followed by “mesothelioma risk” ($66.46). (Oddly, the third most valuable term is “personal injury lawyer michigan” ($65.85).  

Also in the top 10 are “mesothelioma survival rate” and “treatment of mesothelioma.”

According to Wikipedia, Mesothelioma is “a form of cancer that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos.” Apparently the treatment of it is quite a lucrative business.
