Does adwords lower your quality score if you don't use their conversion tracking pixel? Not using the pixel is a big sign that you are an affiliate, so I'm wondering...
 


Ive heard people say that it helps QS if google sees conversions in your account from using their pixel. But i haven't seen any proof of that. Just get a good CTR.
 
If you use it, then make sure your going to have a good conversion against your competitors (provided they use g pixels too). That's how they'll probably determine any additional quality, if any.
 
I have to call BS on it affecting QS. It would be too easy to manipulate.

Their conversion optimization does kinda kick-ass before they slap you though...

Speaking of slap, I got some really good info from a very reliable, and HUGE google "partner" - Basically they have 20K+ google accounts and I had them run a bunch of queries to figure out at what spend limits accounts get slapped at, etc... if there was/is any correlation (and there is). It's the kind of thing that you can't out on a public forum, nudge nudge.
