Ads for keywords not showing up

Hi,

Just logged into my account today and found out that most of my top performing keywords have are not trigerring ads... Insted i get this message from google when i check to see the status of my keywords :

Only one ad per landing page may be shown for a single search query. If two or more ads leading to a similar or identical landing page are eligible to show, we'll display the ad with the higher ad rank. Ad rank is determined by a combination of your bid (price) and Quality Score (performance). The higher your ad's rank is, the more relevant your ad is likely to be to users.

Now i do understand this a little bit , but have the following queries
1: So if this is the case then logically Google should pick my keyword that over last year has generated 1000 orders with a quality score of 10... Instead this keyword is not showing up for ads, but an obsure keyword that has only yeilded 70 sales is throwing up the ad

2: All of my keywords have become inactive leaving only a couple. This was not the case as of yesterday

Is anyone facing the same issue as i am

Please do advise

sounds like you're direct linking to your merchant's pages and another affiliate has moved in to your neighborhood... and now you're competing against one another to be the ad that shows.

further refine your relevancy and targeting to raise QS - if that doesn't do it, it's a bidding war.

good luck!
