Really Low QS because of Landing Page

Hi, practically all of my keywords (which is 22) have 1/10 QS, and it says that my landing page is POOR. Now, I do not have my own landing page, thus I can't control the quality of it, but really 1? I'm linking directly to a clickbank affiliate. At first when I setup my campaign, all my keywords had 5/10 QS and my ad was showing for every one of them, but then BOOFF all went down to 1. Now is it my fault? or the vendor's site?

edit: btw I forgot to mention that I have a 2nd ad group running with the same landing page; all of my keywords for this group have a QS of 7. So this doesn't really makes sense now =/
/sigh google...

    I'd recommend setting up a separate micro-site for the CB product and capture leads in exchange for a quick free report, eBook, video, etc. through PPC. Then guide your prospects to the affiliate product through your links. That way you build a list while also controlling the landing page so your quality scores can be maintained.

    If the affiliate product doesn't do so hot on Clickbank, you still have a list of prospects to market to over time.

      I've always thought that the less clicks someone makes, the more chances he's going to buy the product. I would imagine someone clicking my ad on adwords, only seeing a "bridge" page, and then get discouraged and hit the back button.

      I noticed that my keys get QS 5-10 until my ad gets official "approved". I think my QS is manually overwritten to 1, because google hates affiliates? I also hate some people, but that doesn't mean I'll go to them and slap them on the face. This is pretty ridiculous...

        google does not hate affiliates, next the low q score is common with direct linking many clickbank products due to poor page / site set up by the vendor.

        As such many people build land sites / pages or what ever works for them, this avoids the low q score plus the affiliate one URL rule placed by the big G.

        do some searches and you will see how people set these up and there are also some offers in the wso that may help.

        as above delete your poor q score keys no amount of money / bid will save them now.
