As you'll see below (April results), several keywords that have successfully been pulling in results at an Ave. CPC of .15 now have a Min Bid of .20. These keywords all have a decent CTR and in case you're not familiar with how Adwords works, wouldn't have been getting impressions if I weren't bidding over the Min Bid. In other words, some time during the last 3 days, the Min Bid was .15. There are many more examples of this in this Adwords group and others.
Now, neither the ad text nor my landing page has changed in the past few days, so I can't attribute this raise in Min Bid to my doing anything that would violate any of the Adwords guidelines for landing pages. Hmmm, seems like Google just decided to raise the price for no reason, even when the keywords were bringing in results with a decent CTR. Unfortunately, that is becoming oh so familiar of an occurrence.
