    Quick question about CPC and broad matching

    If I am running a broad match on "blue widgets", and it gets triggered by the phrase "cheap blue widgets", am I charged the CPC of "cheap blue widgets", or is there a separate CPC for the broad match term itself?

    What exactly does google consider a "bridge page"?

    How does MSN's concept of a quality score work?

    I mean what do they even rank? Are they on par with google, where they will actually parse your landing page and make sure that's relevant too? Or are they still a step behind and are only checking to see if keywords are in the ad itself? Any other tips on MSN's quality score, or can I just...

    What kind of shit should a PPC noob be promoting?

    Being new to PPC, what types of offers should I try to stay away from and which should I attempt? I'm obviously going to stay away from the $30+ payouts because those would have a shit ton of competitors. But is it even worth going after the saturated markets, like dating, weight loss, etc...
