Quality Score
The key factor in generating ROI from an AdWords campaign is understanding how the Quality Score algorithm works. A high quality score means more visitors and a lower average cost per click so understanding how it works is critical.
AdWords is based around the following formula:
Ad Rank = CPC bid × Quality Score
The Quality Score for Ad Rank on Google and the search network is determined by:
- The historical clickthrough rate (CTR) of the keyword and the matched ad on Google; if the ad is appearing on a search network page, its CTR on that search network partner is also considered
- Your account history, which is measured by the CTR of all the ads and keywords in your account
- The historical CTR of the display URLs in the ad group
- The relevance of the keyword to the ads in its ad group
- The relevance of the keyword and the matched ad to the search query
- Your account’s performance in the geographical region where the ad will be shown
- Other relevance factors
