Can you throw some light on the various factors that affect the
quality score that you've come to know through experience?

I am a newbie here and am I asking for things too much too quickly too
easily?

Thank you.

Ekalaivan!

Hi Ekalaivan!

There are six main factors that help determine quality score.

1) Click Through Rate (CTR). On a personal note, I think this is the
most important because it really shows users’ interest in your ad. At
the end of the day, you want people to click on your ad and Google
wants to show ads that are useful to the user. A high CTR is a great
indicator that the ad is relevant and of interest to users searching
on a given query.
2) The Structure of the Account. Make sure all of your keywords are in
tightly themed ad groups. This relates back to #1 because you want to
make sure that your keywords trigger a relevant ad. Say for example,
you had the keywords ‘cookie gifts’ ‘cookie gift basket’ ‘cookie
baskets’ and ‘cake delivery’ in one ad group. Since all of these
keywords will trigger the same ad text, it would be tricky to write a
headline that encompassed both ‘cookie gifts’ and ‘cake delivery.’ If
you break ‘cake delivery’ out into its own ad group, you can write a
targeted ad text that will help increase your CTR.
3) Landing Page Quality. In a nutshell, make your site the best it can
be. (For more specific tips, please see https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=9356)
4) Your Account History. This is measured by averaging the CTR of all
of the keywords and ads in your account. (Tip: If you have keywords
with some impressions but no click (0%CTR), delete or pause them to
improve account quality).
5) The historical CTR of the display URLs in the ad group.
6) Other relevance factors.*
* I recognize this could be hundreds of other factors, but in my
experience, if you focus on the top five, you should be fine.

It isn't quick or easy, but if you take the time to really understand
the system, it will make your life a whole lot easier. And, to your
credit, getting to the heart of Quality Score is a great place to
start.

Best of luck,
AdWordsPro Sarah
