need help fixing your pay per click quality scores?

Like many web site owners using pay per click advertising, you may be experiencing an ominous trend in your Quality Scores from AdWords. Google may be marking your scores as "poor" and hitting you with an "Inactive for Search" message. A previously thriving PPC account is now disintegrating before your eyes.

What's bringing you down? It could be a number of things. Look to see if your ad text is relevant enough to each of the keywords they appear on. Are your ad groups too broad? Are they stuffed with a variety of keywords that can't be directly spoken to with your ad copy? Break those up. There's other nuances as well.

So, how can you impress the Google Adwords algorithm and be a frontrunner in the PPC field while keeping your ad spend down? The answer isn't a quick fix. You more than likely need to prepare yourself for a marathon rather than a sprint. However, victory is sweeter at the finish line.

The client accounts we see at our pay per click managment company almost always have to be overhauled. Google Adwords has changed -- those old account structures are no longer as effective as they once were and you need to adjust as well.

Look at your account. Are there a couple campaigns, with a few ad groups in them and tons of keywords in each ad group? Chances are you aren't as tightly targeted and relevant as you need to be for those searching on your keywords.

To help your Google Quality Score, your ads will need to be dialed in correctly. Without focus your click through rates and ad groups will suffer, dragging down your entire campaign.

Another method to raise Quality Scores might sound easy. However, the trick is in the effort. Split test your ad copy...and do it every day. Over time, hundreds of tests will raise your click through rates and conversions. If you aren't doing this or hiring a professional pay per click management company to do it for you, your competition has a great advantage over you.

If you are investing a good chunk of money in today's PPC marketplace, you've got to protect it. Not only is it becoming more and more competitive, the Quality algorithms that the PPC engines throw at advertisers force you to refine and optimize -- not once, but as an ongoing practice.

A thriving PPC program more often than not takes a good plan and work. If you find yourself short on time, invest in a professional pay per click management company. If you can tackle it on a daily basis, then get to work. You don't want to be spending any more of your hard-earned budget on keywords that are draining your ad dollars. Get busy and make changes right away!
