Does the actual ad history play a part in quality score?

[wedouglas]

I had an ad with %55 CTR with several thousand clicks. I had to change it due to a typo, but now I cannot seem to get my spot back.

Does having a new ad hurt the score?

yes.

this has been reinforced in many threads, here's one where AA agrees.

Darn. That really sucks.

They really need to ad the ability to edit an ad without deleting it. I changed only 1 letter. Or atleast keep the ad as long as you do not change the actual URL.
