But was it true?I had a little idea: What if we used data from our Free Keyword Benin WhatsApp Number Tool to determine which keywords had the highest costs per click (or CPC’s) in Google AdWords, driving up online advertising costs?The infographic we created based on that data is still one of our most popular and most linked to pages ever, but people often ask us for updated data.Those people, and curious people everywhere, are in luck! We’ve completed a new, comprehensive analysis of keyword data for five different currencies in English-speaking countries (check out for the data for GBP, CAD, AUS, and ZAR too!).

This time around, we determined the top 25 most expensive keywords (meaning these niche markets are super-competitive) along with their average CPC – and six years later, the results are substantially different!Ready to see what the most expensive keywords are in 2017?
