Is there any quick way to pick out all keywords with poor quality score? instead of go through one by one

Well you can click on the quality score column and it will sort by quality, so you could have all the poor at one end or the other.

Excellent question, I just wrote [seroundtable.com] on a way to do this with the API or by looking at the minimum bid figures.

An AdWords API Rep told us in a Google Groups thread that the minimum bids currently tell us our quality score.

- "Great" keywords have a minimum bid less than or equal to $0.04
- "Okay" keywords have a minimum bid between $0.05 and $0.30
- "Poor" keywords have a minimum bid that is higher than $0.30

suggest they add quality to the keyword search tools so we can find them easier.

UK minimum bids translate to these:

£0.01 = Great
£0.02 = Great
£0.03 = Great
£0.05 = OK
£0.08 = OK
£0.10 = OK
£0.15 = OK
£0.20+ = Poor

My observations are that 'Great' is 1c to 5c, that's on a lot of keywords.

What's everybody else seeing?

Just looked at 229 keywords at 8p min bid, all of them are OK.

I would have thought that Great, OK and Poor would change based on how competitive a term is, but it looks as though Google has put in consistent bandings.

We'll have to keep an eye on this.

That's precisely what I would have thought.

Surely the ratings would be applied on a relative basis?

Thanks Rusty & Inbound. It's times like this when we really benefit from WebmasterWorld. We are using the values given to pause using the API. I don't know why Goog doesn't have plans to integrate it, but there you go.

quick question. Might sound obvious, but does Google count paused keywords, or only active ones? Thank you.

Also

OK - Minimum bid: $0.30

Does this mean that this kw is on the verge of going Poor? I wonder if there are many increments?
