Adwords gives me a great QS with 0.05 min bids but DOES NOT show my ads?

What gives? I've read a ton of posts on here and done everything suggested. All the advice on here really made a great difference and my QS went from OK to Great and I saw the min bids drop to the $.10 range and below. I have a ton of keywords and I started out with $.50 bids - then raised them to a $1. So obviously I would think the reason why my ads are not showing is because adwords wants me to raise my bids - but how do I know what to set them at?
I'm attaching some screenshots - I've removed my keyword and will not reveal keyword or landing page, i don't think those are the problem because as you can see from the screenshot there aren't any problems. I'm just looking for advice and suggestions from those of you that have experienced this problem in the past. What tools do some of you use to determine exactly how high to set your bids for adwords?

Thanks!

You may have great content, proper targeting, and all that, but there are still 1,000,000 others who will bid higher than you, and they will get shown, and you won't.

Say there are 10 people bidding on "buy britney boogers"
If they all have a QS as Great, and say they all have equal PR, and min $0.05 bids AVAILABLE, then the ones who bid highest will get shown.

The top bid could be $3.50, but they offer you $0.05/click. If you bid $1.00 with a great QS and $0.05 offered clicks, then bid $2.00 and see if you show. If you do, and are in position #1, then change it to $1.50. If you are STILL in position 1, then drop it. Play with the bid, and watch the position, and see if you can find a decent place.

If you can't afford to spend $1.50/click to get people to click on your ad because it doesn't covert good 'nuff, then you need to work on other things after that. Without the data, though, you are only guessing, so put up some $$$ and see what works.
 
agree with the guy who told you to raise bids. or find a less-saturated niche.
 
"Fix credit score" on spyfu shows between $1.05 - $6.63 and just "credit score" shows $1.04 - $17.25

That "estimate" means that the LAST GUY is paying over $1.04 to get to the last place. and probably the TOP guy "Bids" at $17.25 (of course he doesn't pay that but that's his max.

anyone else want to put their two cents?
 
As others have stated, Just b/cgoogle is telling youwhat your min bid is doesn't mean that's what you'll actually pay to be on the first page.

Start your bid high to get a good CTR. then drop it slowly. You will loose $$ atfirst. But soon you will be able to drop your bids and stay in the same spot. that is when u'll start making more $$
