I used to have a keyword I paid 5 cents a click for...

It got clicked about 50 times a day...

It sold a product twice daily for $40 total payout.

I made $37.50 everyday...

No one else targeted the keyword... ever...

Then one day Google says the keyword is deactivated, either increase its production or pay 20 cents per click for it.

It already got 20% CTR! Which is about the .5% or whatever their threshold is...

Now I pay $10 a day for the same fucking keyword... Which means I will overpay $2737.50 a year for something that was costing me $912.50 a year...

Googles new rules are a fucking sham... How can I have to pay 20 cents for a fucking word that has NO competition?

IPO was bad news... Google is for the birds now..
