Before you do anything, I recommend you take the ebook out of your sig and read this before you get banned (unlike other forums it is not socially acceptable here to promote ebooks - to put it politely!):

One reason why your cost per click is higher than you would like is that there may be other people bidding on the same keywords - and prepared to pay more than you!
For example. If you are bidding on "blue widgets", and the blue widget company is also be bidding - they may be happy to pay dollars rather than cents per click. You should get it cheaper if you bid of a load of long-tail words instead - eg "buy blue widgets with yellow stripes in Mongolia"
There's loads of info around about this (hint - search is top right). Jon gives a great explanation of long-tail keywords at the beginning of this thread:

Alternatively (or rather as well) - if you are using long-tail keywords or you have no completion then it is probably due to poor quality score. Very basically - Google saying that your keywords and ads aren't relevant to the content on the site.
Again, there's loads of info here about QS and improving it.... just search!
and please get rid of the ebook in ya sig, personal ATM? lol! When you bought your ATM did no one tell you that you can't draw cash from an ATM unless someone has put cash into it?
