Romantic sex videos 015

And yet when I type in "Romantic Sex Videos" there are no ads showing at all.... ( maybe that is just Britain?)

Even obscure word combinations are coming up with high price tags even though I can't see any competition. Using the models names brings up bids of £0.50 even our unknown in house models names like "Julia Dzwika" £0.50 again when I run a search here in the UK no other ads show.

Is it because people are bidding high in the States ?

Any help gratefully received.....
The pricing algorithm can be strange just like the way they index.
I know they take in account how long bidders have been bidding on a keyword as well as the relevance of the landing page factors in when the bids are set.

Its already been said. Google analytics should be your best friend when working with adwords.
The cheap keyword in most cases isnt the most profitable.

Buying a book on the subject is about as effective as hiring a self professed adwords expert like Nick3131 who bragged about how he made a motherfucking G in one day using the letters of the alphabet as his keyword source.

As Andy Dunn used to say... "Testing,testing, testing!"
