Summary:

Clearly it pays to be an attorney in Southern California. To pay big money for each click means they have to be getting paid huge on the back end. This makes sense for mesothelioma attorneys, since one new client can mean an 8-figure settlement, but why Southern Californian lawyers are at the top of this can only be guessed. Since it's more geographically centered, there are fewer searches and fewer clicks to be made, so perhaps the inflated cost is justified -- or maybe people in the area just spend a lot more money on attorneys and suing people.

Debt consolodations and settlement cash payouts are hot topics at the moment, with big paydays for the companies paying high dollars for clicks, so it's no surprise they're well-represented. Auto insurance is a highly competitive field but it still confuses me a bit how the cost per click justifies the prices... with an average commission of $100-150 per sale, the conversion rate would have to be extraordinarily high to merit $30 per click. Surely the volume of competition is driving the price up, but there must be more to the story.
