Google Fixes AdWords CPC Price Gouge Bug

On Friday we reported that there was a Major Google AdWords Bug With Quality Score Increases CPC Prices. We shows how many folks with good quality campaigns were noticing an unnatural increase in their minimum bids for their keywords.

Google acknowledged it was a bug and said they are working on fixing it.

Over the weekend, reports came in that people noticed some fixes, but not full campaign fixes.

Now, this morning, people are noticing the minimum bids drop back down to where they were once before the bug.

I have checked a couple of accounts this morning and things seem to be back to normal, but who knows what will happen the rest of this week?

All my accounts are back to normal. I presume that this was just a warning, so let´s get ready for what´s coming soon. Start tunning things up! In G. we trust.
