    Yikes!

    Oh man I feel for ya, those old days in adwords use to drain my accounts into the negative -- finding myself only to wake up to the horror of PPC

    My God, $15/click? What market are you in? Mesothelioma??

    Feel sorry about it, you need t be more careful, but $92 is not that much and not that bad. Gear up and do things right from now on... :)

    This really happens in PPC (Adwords). Things are uncertain, so it's really a necessity to choose your kws carefully. Better luck next time. :)

    That is horrible. I see the 300+ posts you have in this forum and I am almost afraid of asking... Are you being slapped by Google? Not for nothing but those figures you gave us are super high!

    Or maybe you know what you are doing and its just a bad day like you said ;) If it is, hopefully tomorrow will be better :)

    Wish you the best!

    PPC is a difficult campaign to do. I should know it took me 2 years to realize that it was not worth it. I'd got from 15cents to 60 cents on one keyword and I have to constantly monitor things to avoid what happened to the OP here. The last straw was getting a $534.60 bill from Google for a campaign that earned me $3!

    Adwords takes a while to learn to use effectively. I actually started with the "Adwords for Dummies" book and it probably saved me over $1,000 in PPC costs in the first month alone. Knowledge is power, and when your paying $15 per click you can afford to invest in a little information...
