Whatever they can do to make more money is ultimately what will win out. They know they stole a lot of business from their competitors by rewarding quality. You better believe they are measuring this change to see if it brings more revenue. If it does they will continue. If not they will change their strategy in favor of what brings them a better ROI. I appreciate your article and look forward to more of the same. </p>MarcusTue, 13 Jan 2009 11:45:34 -0000http://www.simsagency.com/2008/09/google-adwords-tweaking-all-the-way-to-the-bank/#comment-5093496<p>Simon, you hit the nail on the head.

Since Google said that in these circumstances, the two should be similar, I raised it with them, and they've passed it on to the techies at Mountain View.</p><p>Sounds like a glitch - my advert still appeared with my previous bid (as yours appears to be).</p><p>I am concerned that these new "page 1 bids" will encourage people on page 2 to increase their bids, which will lead to click-cost inflation for everyone, but time will tell on that...</p>Steve Baker (CustardMite)Fri, 19 Sep 2008 04:19:30 -0000http://www.simsagency.com/2008/09/google-adwords-tweaking-all-the-way-to-the-bank/#comment-2423055<p>Thanks!
