I'm trying to see how my search ctr is holding up, but the CN content network is adding 1000000+ impressions on top of the search stats. Is there a way to hide the cn stats and see only search stats? also does anyone know if my spending on the content network will boost my accounts QS?
The best way to keep your stats clear and easy to overview is to make a different campaign for all your content network activities. That way you can easily see how your search campaigns are doing without going trough all the hassle of subtract the content impressions of your total stats. How much/less you spend on the content network has absolutely nothing to do with your QS.
content has its own QS seperate from search. Search and content should NEVER be combined within the same campaign. Either separate the campaigns or move content into its own completely separate account.
