Google's Landing Page Quality Score: Speak Your Peace!

[Joe]

Greeting WebProWorld people!

As you've noticed over the last couple of weeks, I've really taken issue with Google's new method of evaluating landing page quality. I first tackled the issue in a November 8th article, and then again on the 16th with another piece.

You guys have given a lot of great feedback, and I want you to know that I have been trying to effort Google in an attempt to talk to someone about these issues. As it turns out, we've found a great contact at Google to help us.

So I want to open up the floor to you. Tell me you experiences with the new landing page scores and whether or not you've experienced increases in your minimum bids for keywords. Don't be afraid to speak you mind, because I want to relay the exact nature of the situation to the people at Google.

Also, I want your questions. What do you want to know about how the quality scores are calculated? What other questions do you have about the process? This is your opportunity to voice all your concerns, so don't be shy!

Joe,

yep. I've had two incidences where clients have had minimum bids ramped to £5.

In one case the page scored very highly for on page alignment with the keyword phrase in question. Seemed like an arbitrary case of price ramping to me.
