AdWords makes use of a variable named the 'Quality Score.' The score is used to evaluate the relevance of your keywords. Quality Score calculation is based on the click through rate (CTR) of your keywords on Google.
Each time one of your keywords matches a query then your quality score is updated. Quality Score is a true indicator of the success of an ad amongst the people. Based upon the quality score the google search engine places the ad at various positions over the content network.

Keyword Analysis pages: A detailed view of keyword's performance can be made by checking the Keyword Analysis page that gives an exact idea about the Quality Score of your Ad. It also suggests how you can actually improve your quality Score.
Keyword Status: On your Ad Group Details page, the 'Keywords' tab can be used to check the status of the keyword. This status lets you know if your keyword is prompting ads to show up on the results of search pages.
