Site Targeted Ad's and Quality Score

[Great White Shark]

Hi all,

Can someone please tell me if Quality Score exists for site targeted ads? If so, how does it work. We raised our max cpm bid on one site, however impressions didn't go up. How can this be?

For a site-targeted ad's position on a content page, our system considers only the Ad Group's maximum cost-per-thousand impressions (CPM). Learn how site-targeted ads and keyword-targeted ads compete for positioning on a content page.

Since site targeted is CPM, the site owner and G get paid (ie bill you) for imps, not clicks, so high bidder wins.

I don't think Quality Score applies to site-targeted campaigns - they do take into consideration history though.

Just got the coop from Google. Site targeted ads are like content ads

But what is happening with Content? For a while, there is something strange going on, something like QS for Content..

We are slowly integrating a Quality Score component to ads showing on the Content Network. The performance of ads on the network will now impact how often and where they are shown in the future.

I believe this is the part that goes something like, if the ad has a good CTR on that site, then Google will show that specific ad more on that particular site - is that correct?

Are there any other QS measures for the content network that you can elaborate on?

Adding more to my previous post, which should have read 'we are slowly integrating more information into the quality score for content', there are several references available to how it currently works for content:

or check the AdWords Blog for 'Answering your landing page quality questions (part 2)'

And how ad ranking works, including content:
