    I would like to find out what happens in a certain scenario:

    Let's say someone bids on the keyword :

    [Sony certified earphones] (exact) €5


    And i'm bidding on the keywords:

    Sony - €3 (broad)
    certified earphones - 3€ (broad)

    ---------OR-------------

    Sony certified earphones (broad) €5

    ---------OR-------------

    certified Sony earphones (broad) €6


    Question: would i ever be able to win the bidding in any of the three scenarios if people do a search for Sony certified earphones ?

    Yes there are two scenarios in which I believe you might win:

    1. If your quality score is high enough, this may occur in one of three situations:

    A. A long proven history with a good CTR
    B. Better total ad group / campaign quality score.
    C. Better quality score due to optimization (dynamic ads, deeplinking, better quality score of the page you're linking).

    2. If your competitor has a lousy ad or you have a great ad with a high CTR.

    Of course. But because you have taken CPC out of the Ad rank equation, it means you would have to improve the Quality Score variable.

    Ad Rank = CPC X Quality Score

    [Sony certified earphones] (exact) €5 with a QS of 3

    Would be outranked by say -

    Sony certified earphones (broad) €5 with a QS of 3.1.

    Just wanted to correct that:

    AdRank = CPC x Quality Score x Number of times the cow jumped over the moon x Analysts Earnings Expectations.

    There that's better.

    Heh.

    I think the equation is right for QS anyway ;)

    QS = Number of times the cow jumped over the moon x Analysts Earnings Expectations
