Yes, some of the suggested bids are crazy. It's in Amazon's interest for a price spiral to start—and it probably already has. With keywords, I'm mostly guessing at which authors and titles my readers would also like. I don't have enough data to know for sure. Most of my also boughts are from indie authors with small sales. I'm not in KU and avoid using KU authors for comparison.
I've only been doing this for a short time and am learning every day. I know that automated keywords didn't work at all for me. I've tried targeting genre; it's better than automated keywords but still bad. So now my focus is on trying to choose the right keywords.
