The latest refinement…

Quality Score

“The quality score is determined by the keyword’s click through
rate (CTR), relevance of Ad text, historical keyword performance
and other relevancy factors”

“CTR is still the predominant factor”. Richard Holden, Google

Quality score is critical to your ROI.
Therefore these 4 key factors are critical to your success.
1. CTR
2. Relevance of Ad text
3. Historical Keyword Performance
4. “Other relevancy factors…”


Quality Score (cont…)

“Other Relevancy Factors…”
Understand Google’s passion for relevancy.
A Googlebot will visit your site within 30 seconds of placing an Ad,
so it would seem that they are checking landing pages for what
they deem good Web practice (relevance to keyword, Ad, lack of
pop-ups etc..).
Ensuring a quality experience for their users and weeding out the
bad guys…

Quality Score (cont…)

Advertiser Max CPC Quality Score Rank No. Position Min. Bid Actual CPC
A £0.40 1.8 0.72 1 £0.04 £0.37
B £0.65 1 0.65 2 £0.05 £0.39
C £0.25 1.5 0.38 3 £0.04 £0.04

Advertiser A’s actual CPC is worked out as 1p more than required
to stay ahead of Advertiser B.
In this example we look at Advertiser B’s Rank no. and divide this
by advertiser A’s quality score. .65/1.8 =.36 + 1p = 37p

In the real world we don’t get to see our quality scores…
