1/10 Quality Score?

I set up one of my landing pages which I've used before and have received great quality scores. Now, when I create my campaign, my main keyword gets a 1/10 quality score but the rest are all 7/10 even though they're less relevant. It accepts my bid but says "Ads rarely show due to low quality score".

What's going on and why does Google hate me?

ok that's quite uncommon... are you doing adsense-arbitrage? or any other stuff google doesn't like (TOS)?

try creating the campaign in a new campaign/adgroup, bid high the first week... i've never seen a 1/10... actually it's quite hard to get a qs under 6/10...

if it's still not working call the adwords-support and ask them why you receive that low qs. but if you do blackhat stuff with adwords better don't call them (like if an editor clicks throughy my account i'm not quite sure if they'll deactivate some of my campaigns...)

I have never got 1/10 quality score. What I have gotten is $10.00 to get on first page when it used to be .45 cents.
Try putting your landing page in keyword tool and see what keywords big g finds relevant

you could also try different add variation or
delete the keyword then add it back in a couple of days

maybe your click through rate is horrific.

This is a brand new campaign. I've tried it on three separate domains and three different campaigns with different ad copies and two different landing pages. I would understand if it gave me 5/10 or so and asked for a higher bid but 1/10 and accepting my bid? It must mean that I'm violating some rule but it doesn't say what and this landing page works fine for other campaigns..

what's your overal account QS ? If you have low QS in other campaign that could be reason. Maybe these keywords aren't related in anyway with your page. But probably you got problems with low QS in other campaign in this account and it's mean for you you got low QS on plenty new things.

It's weird, I agree. I had a kw in a campaign with QS 7, I have deleted it and add it back again after 2 days, and got QS 4, for the same kw. Who knows what happen with the campaigns...
