? about Google Sponsored links in blue

[ucdawg12]

I was wondering if getting a google sponsored link in blue at the top of the page for a search result has anything to do with adwords, I have seen some affiliates get space up there, but I cant seem to figure out how I could get my ad up there. Does it have anything to do with your ads rank? I have a keyword with a 1.1 rank but it appears on the side which leads me to believe its something different than adwords.

Thanks

Yep, these are AdWords ads, ucdawg12, which have met an additional performance standard. For more info, please see Msg#4 in this earlier thread:

thanks for the link AWA, I was able to find a lot of good information on the premium spots. From what I can tell, even though I have an %11 CTR on this ad, because I have no competition I cant get a premium spot, which I guess is better for me not to have competition even though a premium spot would be oh so nice :)
