I'm just starting to play with CPC advertising and am learning man what a pain. Setup a campaign in google for Payday Loans a week ago. Bid on the keywords I make a nice profit on in Y! and Adcenter at a similar bid. Google's keyword tool said position 1-3 for all of them based on my bid price. But for some reason after a week not a single impression. QS score says OK and minimum bid is 20 cents. So I figured something was messed up over at Adwords and I'd figure it out later as this is just a learning process and not my main focus for income. Well today I got 2 impressions and I was in place 112 and 132 for the two impressions. So needless to say I can't wait to see what kind of input you have for QS. Thanks as always!

Give me a few days and I will try to talk about QS. But it matters immensely. 3 years ago your CTR meant almost everything. Now that has been replaced with your QS. There are 2 quality scores, one is unimportant and determines bid the other is critical and determines if you even have a shot at making a profit. Patrick - In short yes.

One thing I'm wondering in regards to your PS is why is everyone always so concerned about quality score. Am I wrong in my assumption that QS only affects your minimum bids? I mean it doesn't affect your position or CPC, right? I've found that if you just use common sense like including your keyword in your ad and having a decent landing page, quality score is a non-issue. 99 out of 100 of my keywords have a Great quality score and I've never spent 1 second even thinking about it. So why is everyone always talking so much about QS? Am I missing something here? Great post as always.
