So Google decides that I should be paying $5 per click on some long tail keywords for my blog. The affiliate links on the blog are sent threw a php redirect. Other than the links being masked by the php redirect, there aren't any other ads. Not every post has these links either. What could I be doing wrong...
 


What's the quality score ? Are they relevant words ? If they are long-tail, google perhaps thinks they aren't relevant to your content. Try setting up the destination URL to be yourdomain.com/long-tail-keywords and see if that brings your cost down.

Are the keywords exact, phrase or broad match ? If broad, the keywords may spill into another highly competitive niche with higher cost....

I'll look into that. Google wants me to pay $5 minimum for most of these keywords. I just looked at my other PPC campaign that goes to this site, and it states the same thing (I ran this campaign a few months ago.) So did Google basically say my site sucks? If so, I should proloy build a new one eh?
 
Yeah you got kicked out. Your long tailed keywords were flagged as not being relevant enough to either your ad or your website.
 
Damn alright. So considering it took them 3 months to figure that out, could I just duplicate the site on a new hosting account and get by for a month or two?
 
Possibly. It's worked for me before. Be sure to get a new domain, as I'm pretty sure that is what they log first. I've tried same domain on different account and it was $10 bids, but same keywords new domain $0.10 bids.

I agree with the new domain. Adwords Editor is your friend with this. I also heard you should alter the adgroup name a bit because google is catching on to ppl moving domains when their original one is slapped.
