Adwords and Landing Page

many factors here and the ball game changes nearly everyday with the big G.

there are some offers over in the wso section both where people offer adwords / affiliate system and or there is some wso offers on Q score and what to do and not to do.

in general a skinny site seems to be out so make sure you have a prvacy policy and similar type pages and also make sure the offer you are promoting falls within G terms and c.

Make money site, may be looked down upon by Google.

Bigger factor in my opinion is that this is an affiliate site and you are linking directly to the merchant's sales page. Read guidelines at

adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/static.py?page=guidelines.cs

Read "Affiliate URLs" paragraph near bottom of page.

QS is composed of about 65% CTR, 25% keyword relevancy and the rest, about 10%, landing page factors, the main one (maybe the only one, at least the only one Google ever said anything about) being loading time.

Having privacy, terms of use is certainly a good idea to have but it won't increase your QS. Even if those are part of the QS calculation (which I don't know if they are for sure), it's a small percentage and can't bring it up a full point by itself.

Having a good internal structure makes sense for better user experience. But it won't affect your QS at all.

Keyword relevancy: this is so logical and easy to do, yet many don't do it right. If my page is trying to sell a wrinkle removing cream, why would I bid on "weight loss". Not related. Yet, that's what many do. Do this right and you have a quarter of the QS licked. The rest is mostly trying to increase your click rate with better ads.

But your problem is that you are copying your merchant's page and linking to it. Check each keyword's landing page quality. I'll bet they all show "problem". That's your clue that the page contains something Google doesn't like, such as affiliate links. This automatically makes your QS=1. Tryinhere will disagree, we've been arguing privately about this for a month. But remove your links or use the merchant's URL as your destination (change the display URL too to match).

Hey. For me, landing page had a lot more than 10%. My keywords are good and all that. i did not even got the chance to get clicks, because since my landing page was not good for them, i got a QS of 1 so my ads dont show up

Add this little code after your destination URL
http://yoursite.com?keyword=jobs (Mortgage is an example of any keyword you are using in your adgroup)

Then place this code on your site everywhere you want it to show. Use SEO tactics for placement for best results like in the title, header, description, and etc :
<?php echo str_replace('-', ' ', $_GET['keyword'])?> (You can treat this code just like a single word and bold it, underline it, use it as a link, or etc)

So if your keyword is "work from home", that term will be placed all over your landing page after a consumer clicks on your ad. The search engines will read this as a fully optimized page for just that keyword which helps improve quality score, and potentially lower costs.

I also randomly rotate content at the bottom on my sites.

Using this I have had very broad keywords with pathetic click through rates keep good quality scores and continue to run.

I don't believe hiding your links is going to do you any good as far as using Adwords is concerned. Sure, you might fool the system at first, although I think Google knows how to determine even hiding links. But pages get visited by a human being eventually to be reviewed so you'll be found out one way or another.

My suggestion, direct link your ads to the merchant or link from your page to their order page. JFVJ's site has a "click here to join" link which should go to their order page instead of another sales message page.
