Adword Changes on 3/15/07

[aeiouy]

A few changes made it out of beta it seems on Adwords.

For one you can now see a general quality score rank of "Poor", "Ok", "Good" for each keyword. Just customize your columns in the keyword page to bring it up.

Someone else mentioned you can now also pause ads. This is something I have wanted for a while, because I have wanted to try some different testing and not really wanted to delete an ad. Now you can put an ad on pause.

Anyone see any other changes in adwords?

Awesome find aeiouy. I've always wondered what my QS was for my keywords. I've got a QS of "Great" for a large majority of keywords, and a "Good" and "OK" QS for a few.

Looks like it's time to work on my QS for the "OK" and "Good" keywords.

That's awesome, love the quality score column!

Now I just wish they showed a column for whether your ad is showing or not so you don't have to hover over the little magnifying glass for every keyword

It has been in beta for a couple of months, but was just released live yesterday I believe.

They had a major bug a good part of yesterday that is not apart of the new changes.

It jacked up a lot of people's bids and deactivated a lot of words.

A new revision on the quality score is going out next week, including where they will have lower minimum bids for keywords with no history.

Google got back to me with a similar msg. The problem I was having is actually not related to that bug either. The bids have been fucked for a while with this particular campaign... not just a day or two.

Ok for some odd reason account influnecnes minimum bid. Try getting another account. Make sure you don't double-serve though.

I have one account - min bids 20-30 cents

Tried on another account, same keywords, same everything - 4cents.
