Setting up Adwords to Azoogle - Quality Score Issue

    I use Azoogle and besides my problem with the international traffic, my experience has been good. I have yet to make decent money, but since my problem has been fixed I realize the ROI is there.

    I have a new problem though with sending Adwords traffic. I am getting hit by their quality algorithm.

    What Happens

    1. Set up new Ad Group
    2. Get cheap traffic that converts.
    3. 1-3 days later Adwords raises the minimum bid on all my words

    So basically what was working for conversions stops working. I can still use other PPC engines, but obviously the min bid on them and the lesser traffic isn't as good as what I should be able to get out of Adwords.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    How do you set up an Ad Group for a Azoogle offer? I have been using the landing page domain as my display URL. Maybe this is the problem? Do you use an iframe of the offer?

    One would think the professionally designed landing pages of the Azoogle advertisers would have enough 'quality' for Google.

    I use an iframe with the landing page on it
    my keywords aren't converting well at all, but only one has been hit by the quality score thing

    few things i like to do is do a mass edit and toggle your keywords to phrase match then the ones that are left do exact match sometimes this will kick them back in

    Also dont ever use azoogle directly if anything use a redirect on your own domain.

    What about using an iframe on your own domain, do you see anything wrong with that?

    Ok. I set it up like this. (ignore the syntax)
    Traffic Source 1 -> domain.com/source1 -> XXXXX.SUBID=S1
    Traffic Source 2 -> domain.com/source2 -> XXXXX.SUBID=S2

    My domain never really shows though. It redirects immediately. I'm doing it with yahoo now, but will google have problems with that? It goes to my domain but the user never sees that.

    This is a great tip that many people don't use or try to get some of your keywords back active.

    Having you're own landing page as a medium to your affiliate offer is valuable. You can create more relevancy so that helps your quality score. If you track the AdBots, you can see where they go, so you at least know some of the factors that matter.

    One of my landing pages is relevant for a phone carrier name, I only need 15 cents to stay active, and it's been like that for a week now, there are a handful there with me but I'm not sure what they pay to stay up.
