All Bids Reduced to 0.05 after Import

 Hi There

After doing a data import all my bids have been reduced to 0.05 (for every single keyword.) I have tried follow MSN's import instructions - e.g. naming the bid column Max CPC, and re-arranging the columns in the specified order. I am importing the data in .csv format.

Any ideas what could be going wrong here?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi MrBlobby,

Usually when all the bid values default to 0.05 it means that there was a problem with the way the sheet was formatted. It can also mean that when the file was imported, the bids were left blank.

Thank you,

I believe you can change the default value if you change the default search bids or default content bids.
