Privacy Policy in Adwords
-
Does anyone have direct experience regarding the impact on quality score by ensuring there is a privacy policy in place on the landing page?
I am aware of the legal requirement but I have heard anecdotal evidence there could be an impact on quality score if one is missing.

Thanks guys. My feeling is also that it has been hooked onto from the organic side and not directly relevant. I'm not getting any feedback that is going to make me want to test!
I'm in the process of getting a client to update their pages as the privacy policy is too thin deep within a T&C link and the question came up. -
Hi Michael,
I am running Adwords campaign since last six years but I haven't heard anything like that privacy policy affect QS.
As far as I know CTR is predominant factor that affects QS.
Thanks

Interesting question. No I have not heard of it for Adwords specifically, but I checked a few sites we monitor for Adwords and the privacy policy sits at the footer of each page regardless. I would guess and say it certainly can't hurt, but I cannot see it as a significant QS factor. Adwords really cares about money and in my experience CTR is the overwhelming factor on QS. I have had Ads move from position 6 to the top 3, purely on the Ad content (better CTA) when the actual landing page is substantively uncrawlable...
That said the privacy policy is a ranking factor in google's algorithm - absolutely in organic - that has been canvassed in plenty of articles. http://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors - see item 72.
So perhaps the anecdotal evidence is the inter mesh of organic with Adwords.

Google Adwords Clicks not registering properly???
Hello Moz World, I am running a Google Adwords campaign utilizing Google Search and Search Partners only. These are traditional text ads. When I look at the analytics through Google Adwords, I am seeing 60 clicks. Great! However, when I look through the keywords in the ad groups, none of my keywords are registering clicks. I also checked search terms under the keyword tab, and no keywords are populating. Where are my ads being clicked, and how can I view information on these clicks. This is a relatively new campaign, and I am still trying to figure out if I am targeting the right keywords. Thanks ahead of time for all the great responses! B/R Will H.

Adding nyc to a keyword in Google Adwords
Hello. If I have a keyword in Google Adwords that is using phrase match ("keyword"), could it be useful to add the keyword phrase "keyword nyc"? Even if I did not add the second keyword phrase, my ad would be triggered if someone searched for "keyword nyc." So would it be redundant to add the second keyword phrase? Thank you!

Your Google AdWords account has been permanently suspended for repeated violation of AdWords or Landing Page and Site policies in this or a related account.
My client nor I received any warning. We even had a google adwords team optimize the account and my rep does not yet know the reason for the ban. Not sure if its related but their google organic rankings dropped significantly at the same time. https://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=164786 Any advice here? Do these Questions get indexed by google? I will ask my client if I can disclose the domain. Is there any way around a permanent ban? They were spending 50K per month. Is this enough to have any clout?
