I ran into an interesting issue and I think I can nail it down to the quality score linked to a domain name I had previously used as a destination URL. I have used a domain name xyz.com as a destination URL in my Adwords campaigns. The domain xyz.com was forwarded with a 301 redirect to the actual site abc.com. This worked for a few months until Google made some changes in June and deactivated 99% of our keywords due to low quality score. Just copying the campaigns and ad groups into new campaigns and adgroups using the adwords editor and changing the destination URL to the non-forwarded URL abc.com, the one our site is actually hosted on seemed to do the trick and got our campaigns running again. I have now started using the domain xyz.com to display landing pages to increase conversion rates on our site abc.com (we have some issues with adding landing pages to the actual site). Strangely enough the quality score for the keywords linked to the domain xyz.com now is a mirror image of the way it was in June although the pages are different. I have emailed Google, but can only get standard canned email replies out of them. Does Google keep a history file on the keyword/domain combination? If so, how often does Google refresh the file and can I request Google to revisit the pages in question to assign a new quality score?

Does anyone have any insights for me?

Hi rromanf,
The actual time for google to review is not sure.. but they do it on a random basis. I have faced the same problem for some of my keyword and after some days with the same CPC they got activated, that says google does it without any time line.

if any one has anything to share on this pls do that.
