Has anyone had success in getting keyword prices lowered by corresponding with google?
Are there invisible competitors on those keywords too?
As far as I know, you will just have to pay the big bucks until G$ decides the keyword isn't junk. Unfortunately, the days of finding a keyword with no other ads and getting it for 5 cents a click are gone.

I can buy bulk traffic for .007 cents a click direct to my sponsor's landing page and that's what I'm going to do.

Bulk traffic, huh?
Might as well light your fireplace with your money...at least you'll be getting some use out of it.

No, it simply doesn't work that way. The process by which keywords are assigned minimum bids is entirely automated. There are no manual controls that a support person can 'adjust' to effect a change.

I don't see much difference in burning thru 100,000 in (somewhat defined) bulk traffic verus burning thru 400 click-thrus...especially since the uncontested words I really want are all at 50 cents to $1 to activate.
And it's not "the machine", it's the "program and the programmer" who set the algorithm.

Sigh. Yes, this is the biggest problem I see with Google. It seems to be a company run by programmers.
And I am a programmer.
The utterly insane quota system for the API is a great example of stupid decisions made by programmers getting in the way of profits and usability.
As if Google has a capacity problem with advertisers sucking up too many resources uploading and manipulating profit-producing ads.
Somebody's misguided notion that web-based UI is more efficient.
Then you don't have a problem. Set the keyword CPC to activate the keywords. But you will probably be paying $0.05 per click and sometimes lower than that.
