Today I logged into my adwords to create a new campaign.. I have not been using adwords for quite some time now..started a new campaign for one of my sites and bid seemed to be reasonable. Today I started a different campaign for another site and the traffic estimator wanted me to bid INR 450(~$11 USD) for keywords that seemed not to have many competition on google adwords. My other campaign for different website is running and has a bid in the range of $0.15-$0.25. So is this a matter of them flagging my account ?
Competitors is not always counted, there are lot more things which are counted in, just start with a high bid, couple ad variations and then slowly decrease the bids and it would surely work out. but hey 11$ is quite high give a try with 50cents and with alternative related key phrases.
Its not a matter of flagging your account. It is just because of advertisers bid at that particular time. Check back after some time. It may varry.
