Has any one had a GREAT quality score like a 9/10 or 10/10 on the new AdWords system? For some damn reason since they updated it it's like all my keywords are stuck at 7/10 they use to read GREAT.
I am getting 8/10 max. If you noticed QS may downgrade after a while. This is because you first got an estimated one which maybe say 7/10, but over time Google uses statistics on your performance with CTR and other weights and may get 4/10. However it does not mean that your ad is not shown.
I have a number of keywords with 8, 9 and 10 out of 10. There are a lot of factors that go into your quality score. look at your landing page to creative. Honestly, I really wouldnt stress over trying to get a 9/10 or 10/10 right now. give your campaign some time and over the new weeks, as the campaign performance increase, so will the quality score.
I've got lots of 9 out of 10 quality scores, no 10s yet though! Remember QS is the correlation between your chosen keywords, advert text (put the keywords in your ad headline, possibly again in the ad text) and the landing page. Ideally you should create a separate ad group for each set of keyword to ensure you can closely match all these factors. HTH
