WTF is up with Adwords lately. I'm getting a lot of words that are not being shown because they want me to up my bids to over 40 cents a click. WTF? Hell one they wanted $5. Some of these words are getting voer 10% click thru. Um WHY would I need to up a bid that is getting 10% click thru? That is GOOD. Hell anything over 5% is good and should not be required to have to increase their bid just to be listed. Google has to understand that people are using their service TO MAKE MONEY. Keep price gouging and see people like me go to the "other guy"

Problem is there is no other guy.Originally posted by GatorB
No one running a real business will throw away 60% of the market because they're pissy about Google.
Hence my releasing this script, get your old minimum bids back.254342256Comment

Also, conveniently google has royally fucked their organic SERPs in the last 2 months with all kinds of random updates, bugs, etc.
Many of us saw *thousands* of pages falling out of the index, gone from the site:domain.com command.
These are on PR4,PR5,PR6 domains.
So it would seem their strategy is to destroy our organic sales, and charge us more for sponsored.

I think most of the people that understand the value in this script have probably already developed their own.
A few people have icq'd me with the sentiment that they'd rather I didn't release this, because it gives such an advantage.254342256Comment

Yahoo. Ever hear of them?Originally posted by studiocritic
If the bids they require me to have are going to cause me to LOSE money it doesn't matter if they are 99% of the market. It's not worth using them.No one running a real business will throw away 60% of the market because they're pissy about Google.
I really rather conduct my business HONESTLY. All I'm asking is for Google stop doing bullshit things.Hence my releasing this script, get your old minimum bids back.Comment

There's nothing dishonest about doing this.Originally posted by GatorB
Do you think SEO is dishonest too - since you're optimizing your site to get Google to rank you higher?
It's not like I found some backdoor to steal clicks.. this is quite different.254342256Comment

No reason to get all hostile.Originally posted by GatorB
Yahoo's system is severely more broken than this one, and I sincerely doubt you'll get half of your ads running on Google that you're running on Yahoo. They have a serious disdain for the adult market.
Properly executed you can make anything profitable on AdWords.Originally posted by GatorB254342256Comment

But they can see your bids, and find it weird your biddings are so low and ban your account for that reason. It has happened to multiple advertisers I know
I don't want my account banned from the adwords system, or even take that riskComment

Thanks, though.
If anyone else is interested, let me know. In order to protect the investment of the people who use this system, I will *not* sell it to anyone else once we close this round of purchasing.254342256Comment

I will, however, try to help everyone I can by answering any AdWords questions in this thread. Please try to google your questions before asking them, so these aren't questions covered by the FAQ or one of the thousands of blogs.
