If you read the messages around here, you'll find others have raised the same question. I don't think anyone has it all figured out, as there seems to be no hard rule matching CTR to "strong" or "moderate" or "at risk". Nine impressions, though, is surely too low for Google's system to make any sort of judgement about the CTR. They won't disable a word with only 9 (or 90) impressions.

The keywords strengths are directly related to the CTR on Google's site. It doesn't take into account CTR on the various other properties Adwords are displayed, AOL, Ask, etc. The Google-only CTR is also what determines if your ads get slowed or not, so it's best not to have any at risk.

Straying midly off-topic.. You shouldn't think of the phrases being bad if they are at risk. At risk status usually has more to do w/ the ad you're showing for the word. Perhaps you can break the "at risks" out into new Adgroups that better target those words?

I had words disabled with only 80-90 impressions and decent CTR. The whole At-Risk, Disabled, etc system is driving me insane, I completely don't understand it.
