Adwords.. Need a little help

I can't afford to pay $2/click for the terms I want to target, but I added 10,000 keywords and bid lower (say 20-30 cents) and can get a flood of traffic. From $50 worth of clicks I got one pretty solid lead and the payout is $140/sale.

So there is potential here- but I can not afford to burn through hundreds of dollars right now.

What I would like to know is- how the FUCK can I get them to display ads for less money? They label a keyword "low search volume" if it is one that would get a few clicks but would cost only a few cents each, see.. or some other made up "status"

There would be a damned gold mine using long tail terms with low bids if I could figure out how to make them display the ads. We're talking about keywords that have low but still considerable search volume and NO ads showing for them.

And quality seems to be largely based on CTR. I don't want a high CTR, really.. since I can't afford to target the terms I need to. So I put the price in the ad itself. But then the quality score goes down and BLAM
