Does anyone have any insight for me on this?

My keywords remain inactive no matter what I do.

Within the last few months my keyords, that use to show up, are ALL inactive. I have to pay anywhere from $.50 to $10.00 to get my ads to display.

For the keywords that required a bid of .50, I bit the bullet and paid .50 and my ads began showing at #1 position with a 30% CTR, however I didn't really want to be #1, I would have been happy with a lesser postion or even the bottom of page but bidding anything less than .50 my keywords went inactive.

I know a lot of this has to do with quality score but when my ads showed up my CTR was 30%. I would think that would make for a good quality score.

How do you find out what your quality score is anyway? Google tells you what makes up your quality score but how do you find out what it really is?

Anybody?
