It should probably be mentioned that these 'min first page bids' are not necessarily what you have to bid to get on the first page. Very many times we've seen bids below these numbers appear on the first page.

I have also experienced this. If the 'min first page bid' they suggest is too high for a positive roi I just keep it running with my lower bid and often it keeps showing just fine, but perhaps less than it might at the suggested min. And yes, it is showing on the first page, usually in position 3 or better.
