		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hey Folks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems there is some confusion between &quot;quality-based pricing&quot; and &quot;quality index score.&quot; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please see our &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ysmblog.com/blog/2007/06/12/just-to-clarify-qbp/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;recent blog post for clarification&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best,&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>Yesterday, a keyword that has had an excellent Q score cost me 0.58 to be in the top three sponsored search results.

At 5 a.m. this morning, that term had been dropped by your &quot;new&quot; QBP to the 75th position?

I adjusted the bid UP 0.30 to see what effect it had and this afternoon the new bid landed me a 90th position?

This particular key term was our highest click / highest converting term for 7 months. Does it sound even slightly skewed to you that it is now in this pathetic position? I await your reply with baited breath...</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Qais Sami asks:&lt;/i&gt;

If you are charging less for clicks from quality sites, what about low-quality sites, are you going to charge me the max. click.

&lt;i&gt;Qais,

The bid you set, along with the quality of your ads, determines what you are charged per click. But regardless of the quality of the traffic you receive, you will never be charged more than your max bid. You may be charged less than your max bid, but never more In addition, the system is designed to encourage our publishing partners to help provide higher-quality, better-converting traffic.

Algorithmist asks:&lt;/i&gt;

Please skip the “conspiracy” distractions and address the core issue: Does conversion rate data affect prices in any way, and if so how?

&lt;i&gt;Algorithmist,

Yes, conversion rate is an important factor in determining pricing, along with other factors, but we’re simply not at liberty to divulge the entire recipe. Sorry.
