Google AdWords Policies


I’ve been running this search term on AdWords for a few days now. The picture you can see is of today’s activity (well around 4 hours worth). As you can see the keyword was costing me $0.31 and getting me the number 1 position. The CTR was 100% and there are no other advertsiers at all bidding on this keyword.

So I attempt to lower the bid to $0.11 and then I get the inactive for search warning, asking me to increase my bids to $0.15.

Why? I have other similar keywords running at $0.01 in exactly the same situation. So why is this different? Who knows, I’ve give up trying to understand AdWords policies.

What I’m listening to right now: Prince - “DMSR”
