Today I finally attempted to launch a adwords campaign about a coupon site of mine that lists Victoria's Secret coupons only. Much to my surprise there was only 3 ads! and the min bid was 0.04! I made my ads and they ran for 20mins before Google said my min bid now had to be 5.00! According to Google you are ALLOWED to bid on trademarked terms you just can't use them in your ad which I was not doing. Do a Google search for Victoria's Secret you will only see 3 ads. No other trademark I can think of has this limited ads. Google Microsoft, Apple Computers, anything you want and there are tons of ads. Why is Google protecting Victoria's Secret? Strange..
They just killed 20 keywords I had running. Misspellings, 3 and 4 word terms. All keywords show Ok to Great, but bids went from 0.04 to 0.50. Screw you google..
