At the moment, it's one bid for any engagement. I suspect these are highly dependent on tweet quality and on your bid. You'll all be happy to know that a few weeks ago, Twitter began testing a beta version of their upcoming self-serve ad platform.
It affects keyword minimum bids -- the bid prices Google says are the lowest ones Google will accept in order for a keyword to be eligible for ad display. Within days we were suffering from the same old problem: absurdly high minimum bid prices for...
Then the advertiser could probably afford higher bid prices, which would improve the ad position on the search results page. The high conversion rate and low cost per conversion would warrant a nice increase in bid price that would move the ad...
