Now when the adwords help center says the ad rank is determined using the following formula (Ad Rank = CPC bid × Quality Score) and when it says quality score how does that work? Is it referring to the quality score like 0.04 cents * my cpc bid? For example say if I have a quality score of great with a min bid of 4 cent is that what adwords is referring to the min bid price like this? cpc bid * 0.04 ? or is the quality score thing its referring to now shown?
There are a number of Quality Scores - Minimum Bid QS doesn't affect your ranking - that's the Ranking QS. http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10215&topic=9354
I know that, but what I'm asking is what number are they multiplying how do I get that number? For example if my QS is 10 how do I find that number out what are they using to multiply it with? Also QS determines on how cheap your clicks are, better QS, means cheaper clicks.
you cant find out QS numbers. Its theoretical to give you an idea of how it works but you cant see exactly how it works
Robert, I dont know you, but I can tell you know what your talking about becuase you answer my questions directly and know what Im talking about some of the people around here go on about who knows what (no disrespect to any one)
I think that rings a bell. LOL... I'm just an organic man never bothered with ppc, but we have been recommended by some of the best in the industry for organic search, but I'm famaliar with PPC somewhat, but I do know you know what your talking about because you hit the spot when the question is asked and it only makes sense if you know what I mean. I just checked my account and I do notice my keyword cost keep going down as the more money I keep putting into it, now all my QS scores are up to great.
