What Are Hotwords and Coldwords?
Hotwords and Coldwords: Smarter Than Flat Rates
Hotwords
These are high-traffic search terms currently in demand across Score Search. Bidding on hotwords gives advertisers front-row ad placement, but prices vary dynamically with real user search volume.
Coldwords
These are low-traffic or niche keywords with lower cost per click. Great for long-tail strategies and emerging trends.
Flat Rates Are Old School. You Pay for Results Only.
- No pay-per-impression
- No monthly fixed fees
- You only pay when someone clicks – and only based on the real-time score of the word
- CPC adjusts to real demand, keeping your ROI optimal

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Score Ads
How does the Hotword/Coldword pricing work?
Our dynamic pricing model is based on real-time keyword scores. Hotwords (high traffic) cost more per click, while Coldwords (niche terms) cost less. You set your maximum bid, and you're only charged when someone clicks your ad.
How quickly will my ads be approved?
Our team reviews all ads to ensure they meet our guidelines. Typically, ads are approved within 1-2 business days. We'll notify you by email once your ad is live.
What's the difference between Hotwords and Coldwords?
Hotwords are popular search terms with high traffic volume and competition, resulting in higher costs per click. Coldwords are niche or emerging terms with lower competition, providing cost-effective targeting opportunities.
Do I pay for impressions?
No. Unlike traditional platforms, Score Search Ads only charges when someone clicks on your ad. Views (impressions) are completely free, ensuring you only pay for actual engagement.
How do I track my ad performance?
Our dashboard provides real-time analytics showing clicks, conversion rates, keyword scores, and position tracking. You can monitor which Hotwords and Coldwords are performing best for your campaigns.
Can I use both Hotwords and Coldwords in one campaign?
