Hi, I'm trying to find the quality score for my keywords but don't find it in the admin... where is it? Thanks, Prookle
Click the "Customize columns" link at the top of the keyword detail section of your ad group and add it.
This is really wierd. One of my keywords now has quality poor, and requires a bid of $13! This is for a keyword that on a 'natural' search brings my page up as number 1. How can that be a low quality score! Go figure :-( Let's hope they sort it out soon.
It is weird, but you don't have to worry if you are naturaly number one, so no need to use adwords for this word...
I guess that is sort of odd... but the organic results and AdWords are not related so it's entirely possible.
this is so weird... all of my keywords start out with $1 min bid... i thought completely new campaigns start out in the middle .30-.50 ...
I read somewhere that even if you rank high on a natural search, having your google ad next to it helps too. Kind of a 1 + 1 = 3 situation, as it reinforces the impression that your site must be relevant.
Google's Quality score is biggest load of bull. I outrank every single website running an ad on my keyword, yet my quality score is poor. Also, if I pay them $10 a click, all of a sudden quality isn't that important to them anymore.
I see your point about reinforcing the relevance of your site... I guess if you are not satisfied with the results of being number one naturally, you can add adwords, but not sure that about your 1 + 1= 3 theory here. Best suggestion is to experiment with & without adwords & see what you get.
Are you saying having an organic listing or having backlinks has an impact on your bid cost? I've looked at tat theory a few dozen times and have never been able to come up with any evidence that would support it.
