How Adwords Uses The Quality Score To Decide Your Advert’s Position

Most people understand that Google Adwords assigns a Quality Score to your keyword and advert, and that this is combined with the cost per click to somehow decide how much you have to pay per click, and what position your advert appears in.

But few actually understand exactly how it happens, and quite how important your Quality Score really is.

Before we begin, you should be aware that there are two different versions of the Quality Score. The version that establishes your minimum cost per click is based on the relevance of your keyword to the search term, the click through rate, the advert text and the relevance of the landing page. But the version that calculates your advert rank ignores the landing page. Strange, but true.
