I had honed my AdWords campaigns to the point that I was
going to net about $1,500 this month, vs. -$ last month when I
started.

The last three days I've made $30? Anyone else see a big
decline in clickthroughs and conversions?

Have I not paid enough attention and let my competitors dupe
me? I think not because my average position is where I want it
and my CTR is higher than ever. I have not changed anything
coming off my best week ever.

Thanks in advance.

I'm experiencing similar drops in sales vs. traffic in the past few days-just lookie lous, I guess. I checked competitor pricing and some are pretty bad low-ballers! $59.00 for 90 days of Tramadol. Gimme a break! I would rather pull ads than stoop to that level!

I also noticed a major drop from Google's Adwords. The reason is that Yahoo dropped google earlier this week. They now use overture.

Google now appears to be an overpriced PPC engine for the audience they have.

Yahoo! never displayed Google AdWords results. I've read
many people making this same statement and it is wrong.

What happened is Yahoo! finally was confident to rely on their
Inktomi database and opted not to renew their contract with
Google. What it does mean for Google is that there reach goes
from about 80% of the web back down to 40-50% for organic
search queries.
