Mmmh! What can I say, clearly on adwords e-bay wants it's cake and eat it and then some. In the past few days I have seen e-bay keywords rise from £0.22 per click to £0.55 per click, UNTIL TODAY when keywords such as ebay.com, ebay.co.uk, are being priced at £5.50 per click!!! Or around $11-12 per click (and yes you did read that right - don't believe me? Go set up an adsense campaign and select the keywords I mentioned. Okay so we could take this lying down OR we can create adsense sites to take advantage of this huge pricing increase. If they think they are pricing adwords people out of the market let us 'adsense' folk hurt them and then some. In doing one thing they have left themselves massively exposed on the adsense front. I'm no activist but this pricing policy needs kicking into touch, why does this affect me you ask, well if taking pricing to such a ludicrous length is seen to work then adwords advertisers will simply stop advertising. And if they do err... could be me but won't that affect our adsense income. So a) set up a site targetting these now very high priced e-bay keywords b) everytime you see an e-bay ad in google natural search click on it and hurt them for £5.50!
