How are the ad positions determined?
Max CPC (or Max CPM) x Quality Score = Rank Score Rank Score is calculated per keyword Quality Score is Comprised of the Following:
- CTR- Quality of landing page- Relevance of ad text- Historical keyword performance- Other relevancy factors
You only pay the CPC necessary to have a rank score higher than that of the advertiser below you
Minimum CPC can be as low as $0.01
