Google AdWords Displays Ad Scores: Pscore, mCPC & thresh

A WebmasterWorld thread has discussion around one advertiser noticing Google displaying three scores directly under a Google Netherlands ad. Here is a picture of the ad with the scores underneath the ad:

adwords scores

So I began to do some research and it seems someone else saw the score for a different search today as well, on Google.de. Here is a screen capture, but even though the webmaster highlighted the score with the middle ad, I have a feeling the score is associated with the top ad:

adwords score

Here is another:

So what does the scores mean?
- Pscore: 0.00101
- mCPC: 10.0000
- thresh: 0.0001

mCPC, seems logical, the minimum cost-per-click for the ad is $10? The Pscore and thresh, I am not sure about.

It seems like many folks are spotting this in Google's international search engines.

We have forum discussion at WebmasterWorld and at Abakus German Forum.

mCPC could alos be the advertiser's max CPC...

 

Pscore. Could that be land page quality score.

I think mCPC would most likely be min because when kw aren't showing sometimes raising the minimum cpc is a trigger (when the quality score is low)

 

thresh... threshold?
Thank you Barry
