If you’re an affiliate marketer, or use Google Adwords at all, you may want to check out the video below taken from Google’s latest blog post.

There seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the process that Google takes to determine who pays how much and why for ad positioning using Adwords. The process that Google takes is apparently called the Ad Auction.

I always thought the landing page would be the biggest piece of Google’s pie, but apparently the CTR (click through rate) is the biggest determining factor in the price you pay (and the positioning you get) when you’re bidding on Adwords.

Take a gander at the following video. Good stuff to know.
