Slapped By Adwords

Recently I noticed a dramatic change in Google's Qualtiy score rating. Now, I am not the biggest customer, I know this, total I would spend about $400/week. Slowly keyword prices went up, until I could no longer afford any of them. Now, my keyword minimum is $5-$10 per click.

I understand the quality score rating system; what I don't understand is how I went from 100% to 0. My CTR ranged from 16%-2% (which isn't amazing, but better then a lot I've seen).

Is anyone else suffering from this problem? and How are you dealing with it?

If this is for the websitedesignerdirect site then you need more content (NOT IN FLASH) about web design on your home page. Your page should contain a lot of usefull content regarding your target keywords. Without that Google thinks you are misdirecting its clients, so it makes you pay more for those clicks.
