Google Adwords just plain sucks now...

09-28-2005, 05:43 PM

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..

I think you're missing the point..... you're still paying for it! Capitalism at it's best. Too bad it happened to you though.

It's great for ADSENSE webmasters though. I love those sweet $1+ per click keywords

if you do high volume you can ask them specifically about it and get an explanation.

I don't think they consider 50 clicks a day high volume

Yeah, I was reall pissed when I noticed al my keywords jumped to .20 and .30 cents. I think this might be a way google is trying to stop porn.

You know Google has one of the most advanced fraud detection programs in the industry, right? At the simplest, they log all the IPs that you use to log into the AdSense management interface, and compare that against clicks.

If you haven't been caught yet, you haven't been doing this (clickfrauding) for very long.

All of the big revenues at Google come from AdWords advertisers. The content network (personal AdSense publishers) represent <10% of the overall impressions that Google's AdWords ads receive. They'll defend the [apparent] integrity of their advertisers' confidence in their program at any cost.

I've really had to focus/monitor my keywords lately now that I'm paying 0.20-30 a click.

Exactly.... I just logged into my account and had to up something that was .10 to .30 to get them to show it.. sucks because I make sells and I am still making money but my overhead just tripled in price.. WTF???

Adsence killed adwords, I mean everyone cheats adsence and it is what makes adwords so expensive now.

But Google don't give a flying lizard about it.

If not friends and family it's emails saying click this here and I will email you a blah blah. Or click this add to enter the members area.

You name it, it's being done.

The only way is to start a coalition. Revolt!!!

Google's system is quite complicated and can be frustrating. By the key to getting your CPC as low as possible is to maximum Click-throughs. For ads that get a very high % of CTs the cost per click will drop and your exposure (ranking) will increase.

I struggled for months until their reps finally gave me a very good explanation how things work. Basically, bid as much as you can afford to get the top spots and keep tweaking until you get a very high CTR (of course, this depends on the keyword). Then you will "own" the top spot and you'll see your CPC drop. I have several keywords at 40%+ CTR and virtually own the very top placement - in blue above the search results.

It's not fair, it's not easy and it is frustrating but if you do things right it should work for you.

You know you can also make money the following ways:

1. Stealing purses from elderly women
2. Identity theft
3. Forgery
4. Counterfeiting
5. Going door-to-door collecting money for fake charities.

Since you seem so keen on illegal, fraudulent means of making money, you should definitely consider becoming a full-time criminal.
