Top bid doubled overnight

[Success75]

Found out that the top bid in Germany on my pop traffic source went from $5 to $10 cpm and 2nd from $3.51 to $9 cpm. This is making pretty tough to compete. How do you deal with such a dramatic increase when you're working with a pretty small budget?

I've seen prices go up to $23 cpm for 2nd tier countries... People generally have a white list that works for them and bids very high, so, continue with your bid now, see if you're getting any traffic, if not, are you still profitable if you decide to raise your bid? If not, try another traffic source.

i increased my bid to be 2nd but doesn't look like it's improving. i am new to this source and have been optimizing my campaign for a week. i have a about a dozen pretty well performing placements. is it a good idea to start a new campaign focusing on just these placements at this point?

Just wait. Maybe it will go back to normal soon. This is common thing and in my experience doesnt last for more than two weeks.
