Google had a unique way of calculating quality score keywords. Adwords would NOT display an ad against a keyword if it thought the quality of the keyword was not up to the quality standards of Google results.
In that case the keyword would be marked “Inactive for Search”. However this is changing and in the next few days there won’t be any inactive keywords. Read – Google Adwords quality score improvements.
Once the quality score improvements go live, many keywords will show the advertisers how much they need to bid to get to the first page results.
They will get a message like this for most keywords:
”Active – Bid is below first page bid estimate of $**”
It is up to the advertisers to increase the bids.
So what happens to the inactive keywords?
Though the message will not show, the inactive bids will still get only few impressions or none, because in any case the quality score will be calculated on-the-fly.
The quality score will decide the best keywords/ads to be shown and therefore the inactive bids may not get huge impressions as assumed by many advertisers.
However there are ways to get the maximum impressions out of your Goggle Adwords advertising campaigns.

Hi,
My name is Dilip Shaw and I own this blog.
In this blog you will learn about:
1) Search engine optimization techniques (organic or non-paid search ie.. where you try to rank your site in top ranks in the search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. Of course you do not pay any money for any visitor.)
2) PPC or Pay Per Click search (Sponsored search or Paid search where you pay the search engine that sends you traffic for every visitor).
3) Website Conversion Improvement – getting visitors to your site is not enough. If you get thousands of visitors everyday but few or none take the desired action you want – you are actually getting zero visitors. So getting visitors and converting them as a prospect customer is important in any online business. I will discuss in detail about how you can change and test a few things on your site to get the desired result and keep improving.
4) How to use web analytics to improve conversions.
5) And anything interesting in search engine marketing world.
Don’t worry if you don’t understand a thing or two. We all started like this but soon understood how complex (or easy?) the world of search engine marketing is.
Please keep coming back to read my blog. I assure you, if you keep reading you will definitely enhance your knowledge in search engine marketing.
