Glass ceiling?

One step forward, one step backward

I have been running a successful adword campaign since its inception. At one point I was spending over $15k per month, with about 90,000 kw running at any one time.

Lately, I have noticed that neither increasing ctr or increasing price is helping increase traffic for any extended period of time. Traffic seems to go up as you fine tune, but after a month or so tapers back down. It is like swimming against the current.

The situation is so frustrating that I have lost much of my enthusiasm, concentrating my energies on other traffic sources.

Is anyone else experiencing the same? Could it be that Adword traffic is taking a hit? Or maybe Google is manipulating traffic to benefit the really big fish?

Ditto that. And for the life of me I can't get a handle on it. Cost per click has gone up, positions steady, haven't changed ads or keywords, yet traffic on a steady decline.
