    Is there a minimum CTR % that you need to be above in order to prevent from getting a low QS?

    EDIT: I know it has more to do than CTR, but I only need to know this aspect of QS.

    No. QS is more than just CTR.

    As far as I know, QS and CTR are separate metrics that don't influence eachother.

    CTR is an element (and an important one at that) used to determine QS.

    omg... i know it has more to do than ctr, but i don't care about the other things atm.

    .______. ctr does in fact affect QS. Do some testing yourself.

    Then the simple answer is "no", there's no minimum CTR you need to attain to not have a low QS. Other elements of the QS (bid for example) can offset a low CTR.

    It completely depends on the keyword. Google might rank a CTR of 2% on a specific keyword as Poor if the other ads on the page have much higher CTRs, and they may rank a CTR of 0.5% as Great on a keyword with almost no competition. There's no easy answer to this, just experiment & you'll find out.

    There is no set CTR....If your competitors ads suck and yours do too , the only factor here is relevency and bid price.

    Lets say I have a CTR of 3% and all of my competitors have a CTR of 15%....My ad would get a bad QS. You get the idea?
