Greetings,

My name is Don Manuel.

I have been bouncing around in here for a minute and just wanted to introduce myself.

I have been testing Adwords Ads and for some reason of which I am still investigating my account has been tormented by the .03 - .10 cent to the over the top $5.00 to $10.00 Google_riffic keyword prices. yikes.

I met Hgarcia0509 last year and I am sure you guys appreciate what a great asset he is to have hanging around in here. I was able to track him down so I knew this place must have some good things going on in here. So far this is a great site.

It seems like nothing has worked for me yet. I was kind of stunned when it first happened.

Since all of my campaigns are clickbank campaigns and I am not directing any ads at my own websites I am thinking that maybe part of my problem.

Dunno whether it was the right thing to do or not but I acutally deleted a number of campaigns completely, and many of the over the high priced keywords. The odd thing is that a small number of campaigns prices remained the same but when I try to add keywords to those campaigns the keyword prices are all $10.00.

When I tried to add new campaigns all the kws are $10.00. Even when I used create really targeted ad groups are targeted. where the keywords are in that specific targeted ad.

I actually paused all of my campaigns for about a week, waiting to see if some new info was gonna come along from somewhere.

I have been following some of the threads in here, but has anyone else been successful in turning this situation around?? What did you do? I am at my wits end over this. I can't operate an Adwords account with these kind of prices..

Any suggestions or advice how I can get out of keyword jail???

thanks in advance guys and it's great to be among such a distinguished group of marketing afficianados. :)

Salutations Don Manuel

Get a new domain and recreate your pages so they have different source code than the originals. Start with a small group of keywords that are in both your ads and your new landing page. Wait a few days and if all is well add more keywords.

Hope this helps,
Biff

If your landing pages were OK before, then I agree with Biff. You probably won't have to do anything to your site just host it with a new domain name,

Delete all your keywords, redo your ad with the new domain, then add in your keywords a few at a time.

Worked for me.

Hey CJ, do a Google search for "Thin affiliate" and you'll find great advice to keep from getting tagged in the next round of Goog culling :)

Was a hot topic about a year ago so I think that is what Goog is using for landing page quality. You'll see what I mean.
