Adwords Price Increases
 

Anyone noticed anything either in mainstream or adult?

Ive been reading about silly price increases on minimum bids over at
www.fuckedgoogle.com - top article.

Was pondering whether theres any truth in the matter?

If that's where you get your info....

Its based on webmasterworld - is gfy where you get your info?

As I say - I was pondering whether its true or not....... not saying fuckedgoogle is correct.

That's all BS.

"or if a competitor starts clicking on your ads to drain your budget- the end result is always the same. A form letter saying you are banned from the program for life, and a confiscation of any money you may have in your account."

OK how is someone else clicking my ads going to make Google ban ME? Google is making money off me that way. That's like McDonald's banning fat people because they buy too much food.

"Looks like this quarter's earnings at Google aren't going to be that great. In a last ditch desperation move, Google has been raising cost-per-click prices to astronomical levels over the last few weeks, hoping that advertisers are dumb enough to pay those crazy prices. Keywords that were 5 cents apiece are now 5 dollars or higher- across the board. Isn't being a monopoly fun?"

If people actually knew what they were doing they wouldn't be getting those increases. And by the way you can get keywords for as little as a penny.

...adwords pricing is based on an auction... so... its kinda hard for google to "up the price of the words". What i have noticed is keywords with "raise minimum bid to activate this keyword.." but that's only because of competition for the words.

There are plenty of cheap keywords out there and adsense is still extremely profitable for me.

yeah i've noticed too! i thought it was just me and the words i was going for but apparentley its affected a few people!

No shit. And there are so many retards out their advertising that's also a reason why bids go up. Plus these same retards don't get the concept that if your ad and your site are not relevant to your key words then Google is going to ask for more money. Google has always has this thing about relevancy.

that really sucks :(

I dont think that they would raise that.

haha.. thats fine with me :winkwink: the more people who dont understand it means more opportunity for those that do.. mwahaha
