Put your keyword bids higher for now. You should then get a few clicks for your keywords because your ad positions have moved up.

Check the CTR (clickthrough rate) of your keywords. If they're high (say 4-5% above), then keep them there get more clicks. If you can maintain this relative higher CTR for another while, usually your actual CPC will start dropping a bit (which is exactly what you want).

If the above doesn't work at all, it may be one of the following reasons or all of the reasons:

- The "relevance" of your keyword and your ad aren't good enough. It means either you will have to choose a better keyword to raise the bid, or you should re-write a better ad.

- Your competitors who are also bidding on those same keywords have put their bids very high, which forces the actual cpc of the keywords to go up (in general). This is a factor that you cannot control.
