Explanation:
It is right, that your ad can achieve a higher rank in the auction with a lower Cost-per-click(CPC). But to do that you have to understand that how it works.
There is a formula that helps you calculate the ad position for any particular ad. This formula is called ad Rank.

- Your bid
- The quality of your ad

- The ad Rand thresholds
