Cherry7, I'm with you. I'm a heavy Adwords user and it's baffling to try and figure out the real time pricing on key words and long tail key words. Amateur porn and all - and I mean all - of the misspells associated with it just jumped overnight a few months ago, I search and see no sponsors for those words. I bid the minimum and the hours later I'm blown out of the water. I search it and see nothing. I just don't get it. Right now- amateur cumshots: First page bid estimate: $1.00 - INSANE! Last week estimates were at 0.65.

On a fair note, I once bid on a term, spaced out for a minute and set the bid to 12.00 a click. They next day I checked my stats and disaster was avoided as they realized I meant .12 and adjusted it accordingly.

The pricing though.. Ask reps, search around and you see the same responses about being market driven, blah blah.. Very confusing. I share your pain.
