I'm toying with increasing my max CPC really high on all my keywords so ensure my ad gets shown in the top spot on page one in order to draw more clicks.I think this will be a good way to quickly figure out whether the ads I'm writing have a decent CTR and, more importantly, whether the landing pages I'm building are converting.Since I can set a max daily budget for my campaign, I won't risk breaking the bank.I can't think of any drawbacks, personally.  Am I missing any?

Two if's:If you raise your bids and your competitors also raise their bids to try and match your ridiculous numbers, then you're potentially inflating the market for your keywords on a long term basis with no guarantee that the price will come back down. Depending on your business that could cost you a significant amount of money over a long period of time.If your competitors don't budge on price when you make your change, then there won't be negative price effects, because you'll only pay their max cpc while you're on top.
