This is so wierd. I've never seen the max cpc up so fast. I generally keep a max of 20 cents and adjust some here and there. Today I just restarted adwords and world of warcraft leveling guides was a 30 cent max. so i set it, an hour later it went to 40 cents, upped it again. now it's up to a dollar. this isn't the only keyword doing this why is it doing it so fast? it seems that i'm getting clicks on it so it has to up it on me. I thought it was the other way. the better you do the less you pay I heard this theory and realized it when i had anti afk keywords and they were like 20 cents for me then i wanted to set it in its' own category and they were a dollar each
It's called the 'Google Slap' or 'Landing Page Quality' score update. Basically Google has deemed that it doesn't like some aspect of your landing page / site and are penalizing you accordingly. You will need to make some fundamental changes before Google will let you advertise again.

that's lame, All of my keywords are there just in the links to the guides below it. I hate google sometimes.
example world of warcraft grind guide was .20 now 1.00 This is among the first link in leveling guides on the site they go to at www.ultimatewowguide.i8.com/freeguides
Damn right man this happened with a whole Advertising campaign of mine. I just decided to shut the campaign off rather than to keep feeding Google more and more money. IT
