In the PPC world, to determine if your ad will be successful or not, you must look at your ad’s Quality Score.  Your Quality Score will have an enormous impact on the cost and effectiveness of your PPC campaigns.  A Quality Score is Google’s metric for determining where an ad is placed and at what cost. It is Google’s way of rating the relevance and quality of your keywords and ads in your PPC campaign.  Google uses your Quality Score to figure out your cost-per-click (CPC), which is then multiplied by your maximum bid. This will determine where your ad will rank in the auction process.

If you have a high Quality Score, Google is informing you that your PPC ad meets searchers and customer’s needs.  If Google sees your ad has a good Quality Score, they will position your ad ahead of your competition in Google’s search results.

Quality Score is determined by a multitude of factors including:

The Quality Score helps ensure that the highest position DOES NOT go to the highest bidder, but to the most relevant bidder. It is logical to presume that click-through-rate (CTR) is arguably the most important factor.  CTR is the number of clicks that your ad received divided by the number of times your ad is shown.  If your CTR is high, this means more people are seeing your ad and clicking on it. This, in turn, tells Google that your ad is relevant and helpful to searchers.  In return, Google will reward you with higher rankings and lower costs.
