EMAILED TO GOOGLE:
Hello - The price for the keyword "Armenia" is 10p according to Google, but there is only one other advertiser advertising with this keyword, so why is the cost of the keyword set at this price?
Who is setting the prices, Google or advertisers?
The price is obviously too expensive because as a country name only myself and one other advertiser can afford to purchase it as a keyword.
Well, I can only afford to buy it for one day at that price, and have now deleted the keyword. If the price dropped down to around 5p then you would find more buyers, in which you case Google would be earning money, instead of having a search page virtually devoid of any banners.
So who sets the keyword prices, and can the price of this keyword Armenia be lowered so that more than on advertiser can afford to pay for it?
