Mer vekt på kvalitet i AdWords: Google varsler at relevans og kvalitet på landingssider (det vil si AdWords Quality Scores) vil få større vekt fremover. Endringene vil bli implementert globalt i de kommende uker.
As the changes roll out, some campaigns will see variation in keyword Quality Scores and typical ad position. Within a couple weeks, things should stabilize and we expect most campaigns will not see a significant change in overall performance. Just like today, campaigns with better-performing ads for user queries will continue to see higher Quality Scores, lower average cost per click and higher position on results pages. The 1-10 Quality Score in the AdWords interface will continue to represent the general quality of your keyword when exactly matching a search on Google. Increases in bid and Quality Score will continue to increase Ad Rank.
