In other currencies, the maximum bid is roughly equivalent to $US100, but is rounded. So instead of it being \u00a351.445622 today, it is probably something like \u00a350.00.<br \/>This figure seems to only get updated every month or so.<br \/>So, if the maximum \u00a3GBP bid of \u00a350 equals $97.19, does someone  bidding the maximum allowable in $USD ($US100) have an advantage over someone in bidding the maximum allowable in \u00a3GBP (\u00a350.00\/$97.19)? &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>and Adwords Advisor replies<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think I have spent somewhere in the neigborhood of 16,500 hours (I just did the math) working with AdWords and AdWords advertisers, and this is the first time I&#8217;ve ever heard this question. \ud83d\ude42<br \/>I&#8217;m not saying that it&#8217;s not a good question. Just that it&#8217;s one that I have never thought about &#8211; nor have I had occasion to research it. And yes, this is a longish way of saying that I don&#8217;t know the answer. \ud83d\ude09<br \/>And, in a sense it&#8217;s a bit academic since one&#8217;s postion does not depend on Max bid alone &#8211; and all the factors are constantly in motion, rather than at a standstill. It&#8217;s worth remembering that the advertiser &#8216;A&#8217; who is in position &#8216;X&#8217; might actually be paying less than the advertiser &#8216;B&#8217; below them &#8211; if advertiser &#8216;A&#8217;s quality is better.<br \/>I have had much less time to post on this forum recently, and have not made it a point to get an answer to this question due to that (bordering on severe) lack of time. That said, I will try to run down an answer &#8211; but, to set reasonable expectations, I can not speak to how soon that will happen. ;)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Though the question is not too important its something different and worth while to hear<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In webmasterworld a member asks &#8220;I figure only someone from Google like AdWordsAdvisor can answer this, but I&#8217;m curious.I appreciate that ordinarily bidding is converted to $USD and it&#8217;s pretty much real-time and at regular interchange rates, and there is no advantage from using one currency or another.My question concerns the maximum bid of $US100.
