Hello .....,
Thank you for your email.
No exact date has been set for the new affiliate procedures to come into
effect but it is likely to happen sometime this week.
When the new procedures come into effect we will only display one ad for
affiliates and parent companies sharing the same URL per search query.
You are correct that it will be the best performing ad that is to be shown
on a certain keyword. If you don't have a unique Display URL, your ad will
be displayed based on its Ad Rank, which is determined by a combination of
its maximum cost-per-click (price) and clickthrough rate (performance).
The ads will rotate if one ad that isn't showing has a better predicted
CTR than the actual CTR of the ad that is showing. The ad that will be
displayed will not be the one that brings the most money, it will be the
ad with the highest Ad Rank.
We suggest that you optimize your ad to help ensure that it will appear on
search results pages. Please visit
