Any help would be highly appreciated

I am trying to find out how much it costs for different keywords (pay per click ads).
I went to Google, but could not find out what it costs. Does one have to register with Google being getting this info

I would like to find out the costs in MSN, Yahoo etc..if they have pay per click
Also wanted to find out how many people have keyed in certain keywords in a month at each site.

Any statistics on how many (percentage of) people typically who type in certain keywords click on the ad on the side ?

Pay Per Click" fraud botnet discoveredPosted on 19 May 2006.

PandaLabs has detected a network of computers infected with the bot Clickbot.A, which is being used to defraud ‘pay per click’ systems, registering clicks automatically and providing lucrative returns for the creators.

According to the data collected so far, the scam is exploiting a global network comprising more than 34,000 zombie computers (those infected by the bot).The bots are controlled remotely through several Web servers.

This allows the perpetrators to define, for example, the web pages on which the adverts are hosted or the maximum number of clicks from any one IP address in order not to arouse suspicions. Similarly, the number of clicks from the bot can be monitored as well as the computers online at any one time.
