Bad QS within one hour on AdWords?

Axxomarketing: Only content? I tried that sometimes but I always disable it now because it converted like shit, even when I manually targeted very relevant sites.

What kind of stuff do you find does work on content? Not asking specific products of course.
 


content delivered for me i made alot on it, but now i cant get any clicks at low prices, even when i use the new placement sites, it doesnt even matter apparently
 
That's funny Havok, I had the exact opposite problem. It was easy to get cheap traffic from content, especially with site targeted CPM ads. It just would not convert. Directly from Google: no problems in conversion.
 
I assume that googlw is smart enough to catch this, but is it possible to just creat a new campaign similar to your old one, and then slide by a little longer on your cheaper prices?
 
I used bank off the content network. The traffic is pretty good, you just have to play with it to find out what works and what doesn't.
 
This might be kinda off topic but I was thinking with as strict as Google is on Adwords, what do small businesses do, or mom and pop type businesses. They have to hire an expert in Adwords just to promote their business? It seems kinda unfair to them, they have to go through all this trouble just to promote their business.
 
I've got campaigns that have run for over a year at .04-.10 and others that get hit with $5.00 after a few hours. True, the $5.00 is Google's way of saying we don't want that business. Fair enough. It's their search engine. They can decide who and what they want business from. I agree that getting mad is pointless. I'm in this to make money and there are plenty of ways to do that with more opening up all the time. If Google doesn't like a particular campaign I drop it or try another network. That's it. Move on to another opportunity. Hey, I've been divorced 3 times. I don't fall in love with anything or anyone anymore. If something ain't working, I'm outta there and on to something better (or at least different).
 
If you reword the ads for a better quality score, and do not pay the higher rate does Google ever re-evaluate the ads? I noticed I can reduce a rate from 10.00 to 5.00 or even 1.00, but cannot get lower then 1.00 with changing the ads around.
 
I've never seen them re-evaluate the QS unless the keyword is active. When I get $5.00 bids. I just pause the KW and let it sit. Would be interested in how others get KW's active again after being bitch slapped.
 
the problem is that google wants to do whats best for their searchers, but they treat their advertisers like shit.
I have a forum with 1000's of links and 0 ads. Google wouldnt let me bid on the main keyword for my site. fucking retarded
