Google Adjusts Minimum CPC Rates

I reported at the Search Engine Roundtable this morning that Google has made some “minor” adjustments to their minimum CPC prices. In a WebmasterWorld thread, AdWordsAdvisor explained that Google has “rounded many of the minimum CPC amounts so that they’ll no longer appear as rather odd amounts.” AdWordsAdvisor continues to explain that this has an impact mostly ‘lower quality ads,’ ads with low CPC rates. Many AdWords customers have noticed that many of their keywords have dropped into the ‘inactive keywords’ bucket, resulting in lost traffic. I have more details at the Search Engine Roundtable.
