12. Search Query - Positives
• Almost always, it’s better to add Exact or Modified Broad
match versions of the selected keywords
• Tip:
1. Pull account into AdWords Editor
2. Get Recent Changes
3. Back in the AdWords web user interface, add keywords as Broad
4. Back in AdWords Editor, Get Recent Changes again. The added
keywords will appear highlighted green; change the match type to
Exact

13. GDN Negative Keywords
• Often seen when search ad groups are simply copied into
Display campaigns - truly a rookie mistake
• Negative keywords tell AdWords, “Don’t show my ad on any
pages that contain any of these words.”
• Causes very limited reach, since many relevant pages contain
those words
• Easiest fix – just delete negative Display keywords

percentages = more budget

conversions

all up
