Why are Ads so Expensive for almost No Competition?

    Hello,

    Adwords is really strange. For almost every keyword they demand
    a CPC of 40, 50 cents. Rarely I see that they claim 20 cents.

    I have even written an ad for a keyword which was so long no
    one but me was typing it, but even for this keyword they wanted
    50 cents!!! And my ad doesnt even show up, lol!

    What can I do to lower these costs? Do these get lower the higher
    my CTR becomes which is the most crucial point for the quality factor?

    Thanks and bye

    it sounds like you're doing something wrong. you shouldn't have to pay that much for a phrase no one else searches for.
