The PPC Book has posted some screen shots of the new first page bids / 1 - 10 quality score. Should be rolling out to all AdWords users soon...
Very interesting specially the part about 1/10 QS ranking.Didn't know that they are making that change.And also love the first page bid feature. But as I understood now the QS will also be ranked from 1-10 not only great,ok,poor.
PPC Book wrote "It’s a slow rollout I’m told and will take several weeks." Guess we just have to be patient then...
Google released these QS changes to a very small amount of advertisers, so that they can gather feedback before launching to all their advertisers. You just must wait!
Lost control over campaigns!!! Everything is "fine" - even keywords with poor QS are rolling (as they say, as I see) but it is not at all. My spending is cut to half - was in peaks over 1000$ daily with lower ROI for 18%. Now I cant provide room on adwords system where to spend! I tried to fix, to experiment, throwing sites for tests, days of work and thinking, and I am at beginning after whole month. Working like dog and nothing. Adwords says: all kinds of keywords are good for us now, we giving chance to all, even your keywords sucks, even you, dear advertiser, was frustrated with QS... but I see that I am now more frustrated and all is in interest of advertisers that taking monopole over keywords. I was more happy with overnight slaps with minimum CPC of 10$ because I knew what is my position, than now when all is "doing job" and it is not. Have still hundreds of great QS keywords and campaigns and nothing. I am gonna start to think that I need luck for this business. and to add that my sig space and blog feed is rented
AdWords is 1% luck and 99% skill/experience I've seen all the changes in a few accounts but am holding off on passing any judgment until I get chance to kick things around.
Yeah, you are right, I lost a little bit of faith tonight, since it was day for paying taxes to authorities...
Taxes will do that a man IN terms of the new QS, I am seeing it in a few more accounts today so hang tight, the new QS and first page bids coming to an account near you soon!
