Problems about AdWords

[todaydvd]

Hi,

I'm a newbie on AdWords, I had add a AdWords campaign for selling Games Products.

1. Bidding Price
In my mind, I think that long tail keyword is cheaper than short keyword.

However, when I try to add keyword, I found that long tail keyword is more expensive than short keyword.

Here is the example.
Buy Wii Game - Min Bid $0.8
Buy Wii Play Game - Min Bid $1.2
Buy Wii Play Game with Remote- Min Bid $2.4

Is it any problem on my keywords set?

2. Approval Time
After I add new keyword, how long did Google take for approval?

Thanks!

Mars

long tail keywords in adwords are often more expensive because there's less search volume...it doesn't make any sense, it's just a quirk of the new QS.

I did some tests for the Adwords Quality Score yesterday...
try to delete and re-create the campaign and/or AdGroup.
It sometimes solve the problem, dropping minimum CPC price.
Also try to force the Quality Score Bot to re-crawl your landing page by renaming your file (ex:index.htm instead of index.html) and check your log you should see the bot coming as soon as you save the campaign.
Anyway, Adwords is weird!
