I didn't review my campaigns since last week, I remember a campaign with arround 1000 keyword in which I had about 150 "inactive for search". Today I have 750 "inactive for search"!
Does anybody get any similar to this recently?

.51 to minimum $6.24 - and their site says average cpc for the search is .45 when you use the keyword search tool thingy. What the devil is going on?

the carnage continues. hundreds of keywords per hours having bid levels raised to $10 (previously less than 50 cents for the most part). most of these keywords have been running for months or years without incident.

I have stated here before. The spreadsheet guys are dictating revenue targets. All of my 9 month old ad kwds got huge bumps in the last 3 months. And new low traffic keywords (obscure pairs), at a minimum, go to $1.00, sometimes $5.00.

Got a call today. We had 2/3rds of our traffic turned off with crazy bid prices needed to re activate. Good CTR kws, good positions, great history. I would say there has to be a MAJOR technical problem here.

AdWords stonewalling a selected public of customers with standard replies sends a very powerful message to the targets. (Who in his right mind wants to alienate their "good" customers?) I have seen some of my adwords go from 0,17$ to 5,00$ overnight, knocking 75% of the most potent or promising searchterms out of the race. It looks like someone is implementing a regulating tool. Economists have long known that pricing goods out of the range of their customer's ability to pay is the most effective deterent to future transactions. So much for the whip. That leaves the carrot. It seems google wants to prod us on to more emphasis on making sites evolve rather than concentrating on profitability. And never forget: a good businessleader teaches his customers to behave the way he expects them to, that's part of his job.

True, my wallet and heart says that there is a tech problem. My brain tells me something different!

It is asking $10.00 for a keyword nobody is bidding now. I tested it from other countries to be sure.
