You guys are lucky. My average cost per click is R16! Some bids need to be at R30-R40 to even show on the first page of results.
Gotta love the saturated web design field...
Going to look to other forms of advertising.

personally I think google is great! What other company would spends millions sending out hundreds of cars to take photographs of all the buildings in SA for googlemaps - and you get that info for free? Or scan 1000's of books and let you have that info for free? I have used google in quite a few formats many times over the years, and haven't paid them a cent yet...TOP MARKS

I will be starting and add words account soon, my feelings on google could change shortly...lol

Hi there,
There are so many competition in my industry, that I pay R25 a click to get on top of the results. Its sad, but it works.

Here is someone else who has noticed this. Google admits What will the next search engine be?
Only stress when you can change the outcome!
The problem with those hyper-competitive niches (such as electronic goods) is how much can you trust the organic results anyway.
If there's a big budget going into Adwords, you know there's a big budget going into SEO too. And as much as the SEO guys and gals might bemoan it, they're part of the "problem."
Why did Google introduce special tags for online shopping sites?
When Google started adding maps results to search, who jumped on this to get into that valuable above-the-fold territory?
Images?
Video?
And as SEO's bemoan this cras commercialisation, the question rings out:
Perhaps the wrong question. I suspect the question is how could any search engine do things differently, provide relevant results, and still pay the bills?
Like it or not, the results are still giving what searchers are looking for, otherwise they'll be going elsewhere in next to no time.
The customer is still king.
ps - do a search on hd monitor yourself in a number of different search tools and see what your results are.
