Google Keyword Tool Prices, Inconsistent?!?!


I was just checking G's Keyword Tool (Exact) and discovered that the Estimated Ave PPC on different matches can very quite a bit when you include additional search terms.

I've never noticed this sort of thing before, but I'm not that sharp. Has anyone else noticed this type of pricing fluctuations?

Search #1: KW Phrase - "senior bath"
Results
[senior bath tub] - CPC 14.46

Search #2: KW Phrases - "senior bath" + "senior tub" + "senior safety"
Results
[senior bath tub] - CPC 12.84

Search #3: KW Phrases - "senior bath" + "senior tub" + "senior safety" + "senior bathroom"
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/ppc-cpc-cpm-programs/631442-google-keyword-tool-prices-inconsistent.html
Results
[senior bath tub] - CPC 13.39

There was one additional combination (that I've forgotten) where the CPC for [senior bath tub] was only in the $10+change range.

Those are just average bids on that day. Also publisher don't get same value for their clicks.

Thanks for your response bluearrow. Am already well aware that publishers don't get the full click value.

As to the variations, the values I quoted were all initially displayed within the same 5 minute period, and then again 10 minutes later. I started with the exact term, [senior bath], and then added additional terms with each succeeding search. While checking the results I noticed that one of the related search terms provided by Google, [senior bath tub], showed a significant variation in value.

My understanding is that an exact search term is an exact search term and there shouldn't be a variation in value on a short term basis -- no matter how many related terms are included in a search.

That is interesting. Were you using those terms as an example, incidentally? The number of searches is very low indeed, but those CPC values are very high. Interesting.
