I am also seeing strange results like estimated daily clicks decreasing as a result of increasing the max bid!
Could these problems be caused by me doing these queries on a new test AdWords account and not a production one? (as I understand it, the bid estimator returns account specific results...) One more question: if I am getting estimates for 3 keywords within the same adgroup, why does setting max CPC £1 for each keyword estimate return different results to setting max CPC £1 on the adgroup estimate (and not setting it on the keywords)? Surely these two queries should give the same results, since the keywords should inherit their parent adgroup's max CPC?
