Adwords price hike?

Drew_MX · 08-25-2009, 10:22 PM

Hi all, hope you are all well,

One website I had, the number of clicks suddenly went to only one or zero per day?? So then I went to look at the keywords and I see a new message on lots of them- 'minimum bid must be (around $1 in some cases) to appear on first page' ??? How annoying!
Any comments?

was the campaign you were running getting alot of clicks before?

If so then it may be do to that several other competitors joined in this niche and started a bidding war that you are paying the price for.

Hi Andrew,

Have you been monitoring your Quality Scores? A drop in QS is the most likely cause, but more competition could also play a role. Check you quality scores and report back what you find!

I noticed the same thing as well. It happened on Sunday evening for me. I was getting dirt cheap clicks and now I have to raise to $1 or more as well.
