Who can come up with the best Google Adwords?

A nice client is paying me to set up their Google advertising campaign, and I thought we could do one for this site.
If you don't know how it works, you choose some keywords and then if someone searches for your keywords your little advert appears on the right-hand side of the Google page (maybe - the more popular the words the less likely they will appear).
So, I'm opening it up to you lucky beexers to come up with suggestions. So far I have 'video games forum' and 'console games forum'. One keyword (or keyphrase) each.
Whoever has the best click-through ratio at the end of the month (or when the money runs out) wins!

Okay, so, from now, choose as many as you like, but only the one you embolden will count towards your score. And feel free to choose one someone else has already said, as long as they haven't emboldened it.

I'm not sure you understand - the winner is the person with the most clicks, not the most impressions. So someone will search for something with "the" in, our ad (in the first post) will be shown, then they have to click on it for you to get a 'point'.

It really depends on the keywords. It's usually a good idea to set your max CPC high for the first week or so to get your click through rate up (CTR). That'll increase your quality score, reducing your minimum bid in the long run.

Obviously, I don't know what field you're advertising in so I don't know if 15 pence is high. In the field I work in, 15p is really low. We're looking at over £1 a click for some keywords!

edit: Ah, you're advertising BEEX. I imagine video games are pretty competitive keyword wise, so 15p is probably a little low. BUT, set it high at your peril! You can easily spend some serious cash in Adwords without meaning to. Make sure you've set a daily budget you can afford. And careful if you're putting keywords on broadmatch, for example "video games" will show up on all manner of search results on broadmatch.

Try something like "online gaming community". If you want to check keyword competitivity, there's a handy Adwords tool here: https://adwords.google.co.uk/select/KeywordToolExternal
