2 Average RankWhat it is and why it’s important
Definition: Your ad’s average position on a
search engine during a period of time
Why It Matters:
Rank Volume
However, advertisers pay a premium for higher position
![Page 14: Webmarketing123: 6 Paid Search Metrics To Master 08-18-2011](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051817/5483db88b47959050d8b4a35/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

2 Average Rank on the Display NetworkThis metric behaves differently on the GDN
Rank is not very useful on
the GDN
Bidding up can actually
make this metric go down!
Why?
Being eligible for new
search auctions
Being eligible for new
GDN sites

2 Average Rank MythsCommon misconceptions regarding average position
Myth: I need to rank in the first position for all
my keywords
Fact: Lowering your position can lead to more
efficient conversions
Why:
Quality of users does not change, only
volume and price does
CVR does not change based on position http://adwords.blogspot.com/2009/08/conversion-rates-dont-vary-much-with-
ad.html
