Since quality score is a relative rating of keyword relevance from 1 to 10, a 5 is a neutral value.
The quality score is an important feedback indicator for your ads, so anything that would likely be coerced into a zero may result in false indication of unhealthy campaigns. A "" would introduce a second data type that is non numeric in this field, unnecessarily adding complexity to every system that uses quality score. >From my perspective, a 5 is better than a blank or null or just not including >it in the response. It shows an indifference to the criteria, it's not good or >bad.
