At the end of August, our company’s dedicated Google AdWords representatives will be paying us a visit. We will have several hours of uninterrupted face-time with these fine folks to learn as much as we can about AdWords. Naturally, we have a lengthy laundry list of questions just waiting for this opportunity. But before we finalize this list, we wanted to give all of our readers (yes, you!) the opportunity to pass along your burning questions.
Please leave us a comment with your AdWords-specific PPC question(s) and we will pick the best ones to include in our “Googler interrogation” (well, maybe that’s a bit of a stretch). We will be accepting your questions until Wednesday, August 8th at 12:00 PM (EST). After the meeting we will post a synopsis of our discussions with the Googlers and include as many direct quotes as we are allowed.

My suspicions were confirmed with the introduction of the search query performance report. Quality score, max cpc bid, and CTR all come into play, but what are the most important factors that contribute to search query ad matches?
