£5 for a worthless term?

    Hi,

    Is anyone else having problems adding new keywords to their campaigns? I don't seem to be able to add anything withouth the minimum bid being over £5.

    For example, it wants me to bid over £5 for "little yellow moon face" which seems quite outrageious!

    I'm having no problems with adwords. I know they're having problems integrating the macro account project.

    Think I worked out the problem. Apparently if your CTR falls below 0.5% the minimum bid increases. Guess I'll have to scrap that category and start again!

    My CPC has increased by 250% on a lot of keywords since the change. Seriously sucks.
