What do you think about the notice "below first page bid ($)"? It's a bit strange because I worked with maximize clicks and my average CPCs are way below the recommended first page bid. Nevertheless my search impression share is over 90% and Impr. (Top) is at 95%. So I don't understand, why the system is telling me that the bid is below first page.

The system recommendation is based on the average historical QS of other advertisers. Since your QS is likely higher, you are paying less.  
The Google AdWords Group is where you can always find questions, answers, advice, reviews & recommendations from other community members about successful search engine marketing (SEM) ads through Google AdWords.
