    You can't. Positioning is based on your bid & CTR.

    Bid $150 (per keyword) and you should be on your way.

    Make the ad as relevant and targeted as possible (increase your CTR) and bid the highest per click.

    Fryman - I can verify that. As an experiment, I bid around $150 per click on this one keyword tha wasn't worth a lot, and DID have an advertiser as a top sponsor. I wasn't able to push that advertiser below, and they stayed on the top. Needless to say, even if they had a CTR of 10%, and a cost per click of $7 (which they didn't, neither of the two) I should have still pushed them down. Didn't happen.

    Does Google check for relevance by crawling your webpage to scan for content?

    Or is it the text in the ad?
