This one account is killing me and I cant figure out whats going on. The account ran smooth for 3 months. All of a sudden the min cpc skyrocketed to $10/click! The landing page -> url -> adcopy -> keyword -> adgroup -> campaign are highly relevant. So I dont understand. I even thought of historical performance so decided to start a new account and copy only the keywords that performed well in the past over. Yet the min cpc is still 10 throughout the whole account. Even the branding keywords are 10, which i have never seen before. Usually your branding keywords are the lowest.
Most likely means your domain has been slapped. Transfer everything over to a brand new domain and you should be ok.
my site is the original and there are some affiliates who have used other domains with my site loading as a frame. i noticed google indexed their domain over mine. would google be slapping me because of this? how do i tell google mine is the original site?
The issue is not with past performance, the issue is a landing page problem. Google must have changed or updated its industry requirements for the niche the site is in. Till you figure out and fix those landing page errors your min bids will remain at $10
