[...] This is the second post in a series of 5 focusing on Quality Score. We all know there are numerous components to Google Adwords’ quality score. In this post I’ll outline what Google says are the top three components. It is essential that all advertisers understand that quality score is based on all components working harmoniously together. Look at it as if you were to construct a building. You have all your major components of putting together the building, but it’s not complete until everything has come together to form one solid structure. That structure provides stability, growth and a source of good ROI. Your keywords, landing page and ad text are the three most important components of quality score. [...]

[...] Today’s topic is the fourth in a series of 5 blog posts focused on Quality Score. There has been some question as to how account history can affect your overall quality score. In a recent discussion with Google reps it was said that your account history doesn’t directly affect your quality score; however, they also insisted that your account history is incredibly important to the success of your campaigns. In this post I’d like to outline two theories on how your performance history may affect your quality score: moving VS. deleting and re-inserting keywords. [...]

[...] When managing pay-per-click accounts, there is one activity that will improve your performance more easily than any other – effectively managing ad texts. Some would argue that bid management, optimizing for Quality Score or a myriad of other activities would take the cake. However, it is imperative that you have a strong first impression with searchers. Consider the following: Ad copy is the only part of your PPC campaign that a searcher actually sees. A searcher does not see your keyword list, bids, day parting settings, or daily budget. Those precious few words that make up your ad copy are the only insight into your offer that a searcher uses to make the decision to click on your ad. [...]

[...] As you know, at the heart of Adwords is the Quality Score. Google has left search engine marketers to their own devices when comes to interpreting and interacting with this ranking system – that is, until recently. This week Google pulled back the curtain slightly so that we can peak inside the mechanics of the Quality Score, but some of the gears seem a bit faulty. [...]

[...] If you’re a professional SEM, chances are you’ve inherited your fair share of pay-per-click accounts from clients seeking a helping hand. Taking on these clients who have tried their hand at PPC and failed can be a great opportunity for you to prove the value of your services. The downside, however, is that these accounts are undoubtedly in shambles. When you add the wild card of Google AdWords Quality Score to your equation, this becomes an even bigger hurtle to jump. But don’t fret, with a little patience and careful consideration of your strategy, inheriting an AdWords account can work out just fine. [...]
