PPC Tip: When to Use Negative Exact and Negative Phrase Match - Latest Online Earning Tips

If you use the broad match type in PPC advertising, negative matched keywords are essential to keeping your campaigns under control. But are you using negative matches to their full potential?

If you’re new to PPC, the broad match type refers to bidding on a keyword like new york pet store and allowing the PPC system (like Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing or MSN AdCenter) to match your ads to search queries that include this keyword, regardess of word order.

The way Google’s broad match type works can be broader-than-broad. It employs “Expanded Broad Match” which means your “new york pet store” ad could show for a search on “animal shelters in New York.” There is no opt out for Expanded Broad Match (not to be confused with the Automatic Match beta which is a little different) — it’s the default way Google does its broad match. The only way to prevent your ads for showing up for any search including animal shelters would be to add it as a negative keyword – either at the Campaign or Ad Group level.


For a pet store, especially an online pet store, adding animal shelter as a negative match should prevent animal shelters and shelter animal from appearing.

-animal shelter

But what about this situation: You sell books, music, DVDs, video games and software including Microsoft Office software. A hot seller is the Microsoft Office Home edition. You’re bidding on microsoft office home and checking your exact keyword referrals as per this hack, you found clicks for the following:

microsoft office home
home office
office space dvd
the office dvd
the office dvd UK
office software
ms office software
office home
home office
office home software

1. Office home and home office are completely different searches with different intents and landing page expectations. Broad match can trigger ads for any word order, and you can’t add -home office as a negative keyword and keep showing up for Office Home. Using -”home office” or -[home office] will help. Since you don’t sell home office furniture, it would make sense to apply the negative to the entire campaign.

2. You sell the movies “Office Space” and “The Office” series — UK and US editions. You don’t want to add “The Office” as a negative keyword at the Campaign level – it will prevent ads from appearing for relevant Ad Groups and keywords. Instead, you add…

-”the office”
-”office space”

…to your Microsoft Office Home Ad Group, and…

-”the office UK”
-”office space”

…to your The Office (US) group, and so on.

You may ask, if you’re bidding on Office Space and The Office DVD UK in other Ad Groups, why would you need to add negatives to other groups that don’t include those keywords? The answer is Quality Score.

Your Microsoft Office Home group may have a higher click through rate history, a higher bid or any other measure of relevance that makes up Google’s Quality Score (other PPC programs also use a Quality Score algorithm of their own). Or you may have reached your max budget in one Ad Group, so an ad from another appears.

I can’t stress enough how important it is to see the exact keywords that your broad match ads are triggering. If you’re not sure how, here’s a full tutorial to help you set up the right filters in Google Analytics. Even if you’re not using Google Analytics as your primary analytics tool, you should at least be using it for this. It’s the best keyword research tool to find the irrelevant “long tail” terms that are costing you money. I guarantee you’ll be shocked at some of the searches the Adwords system will match your keywords to.

You want to view the keywords by Ad Group. So when you’re in Google Analytics, follow this path:

Traffic Sources / Adwords / Adwords Campaigns / {select campaign} / {select Ad Group}


Unfortunately you can’t see all the keywords that trigger ad impressions, only the ones you pay for when the customers click. What’s more shocking than Adwords showing your ads for some keywords is that people actually click on them! I am amazed the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Store ads for 2010 Olympics gets clicked for searches like 2012 judo olympic tryouts!

In addition to constantly checking my Analytics reports, I also do proactive negative keyword research with the Google Keyword Research tool. Enter a keyword you broad match and let the keyword tool suggest synonyms. This will uncover some and not all of what Google considers semantically relevant – but the terms you’ll discover are likely the highest searched terms, so better to add negatives before your ad appears for them:


You really are never finished researching negative keywords.

Why 3-D Smartphones Are the Best Bet for 3-D Adoption

 At the recent CTIA Wireless conference in Orlando, Fla., two major manufacturers jumped into the 3-D market, a market that has been mostly dominated by TVs until this point. While it may seem counterintuitive to relegate 3-D shows to a small smartphone screen, 3-D smartphones might actually have the best chance of promoting 3-D adoption among consumers.

The display
Portability is one of the most important considerations. While 3-D content would look better on a large screen, people can't carry their 3-D TVs around with them. Passing the time on a boring plane ride with a 3-D movie is one of the perks of a 3-D smartphone.

It also widens the customer base because those who would have said they don't have time at home to watch a 3-D movie might want to stream a 3-D show to their phone while traveling.

But there's an even more important benefit to the 3-D smartphone displays: They don't require 3-D glasses. The glasses for 3-D TVs are expensive (many over $100 each), require batteries and are usually not numerous enough for an entire family. The 3-D smartphone bypasses every one of these problems by negating the need for glasses and making the viewing experience personal.

It's not a perfect solution. The screens on the two major 3-D smartphones – the HTC EVO 3D and the LG Optimus 3D – use parallax technology, which has certain flaws. For instance, the screens must be viewed straight on; turning them even a single degree distorts the image. However, these flaws are a relatively minor concern. It's far easier to turn your wrist a bit to adjust the viewing angle than it is to search the couch cushions to find that second pair of 3-D glasses.

The price
Currently, 3-D TVs are very expensive, costing thousands of dollars — and that's before you buy the 3-D Blu-ray player and the extra glasses. 3-D smartphones, on the other hand, will be subsidized by carriers, just like any other phone, making them much cheaper alternatives. There's also no need for disc players and DVRs because of the next point.

The content
A phone's mobile network provides an automatic content delivery system. Movies and shows can be purchased for download or rented for streaming with relative ease, and users don't have to be sitting in their living room either.

For now, there is still very little content for 3-D mobile devices, though that will likely change. Sprint representatives at CTIA indicated the carrier plans to create a content portal for the HTC EVO 3D, and T-Mobile will likely do the same for the LG Optimus 3D. If there is enough content available soon after launch, consumers will flock to it because of the ease of finding and playing movies and TV shows.

The camera
Both the EVO 3D and the Optimus 3D have dual cameras that allow the user to shoot their own 3-D images and video. And the 3-D display lets them view it instantly. As long as the cameras work well (all indications are positive so far) then 3-D phones offer the full package: the ability to not only view but create 3-D content. 3-D TVs can't do that.

Of course, there are 3-D camcorders reaching the market, but they are inferior to 3-D smartphones because of the next point.

The price/functionality quotient
The biggest benefit of getting 3-D media through a smartphone is that the device does so many other things as well. The screen may be smaller, but you're getting far more functionality for a cheaper price: phone calls, texting, Internet browsing, hundreds of thousands of apps, FM radio and more.

While there are different implementations of these features in some new Internet-connected TVs, the interface is invariably clunkier and less fully featured than what you find in a simple 3-D smartphone. For this reason alone, 3-D content makers have a better chance of selling their products because people will likely have a 3-D-capable smartphone sooner than an everything-capable 3-D TV.

It may still take a while
While the benefits of 3-D smartphones are obvious, they may remain a rarity for a while. It's still unclear if people are truly interested in 3-D content, regardless of whether or not it requires glasses. The available 3-D content will need to multiply exponentially, and the parallax screens could be further refined. But if anything can inspire 3-D adoption among American consumers, the new 3-D smartphones can.

Addiction: Most People Can’t Function Without Their Smartphones

“We expect that Nokia’s smartphone portfolio will make further significant market share losses during 2011 and 2012 until it has completed its adoption of Microsoft’s Windows Phone software as its new primary software platform for smartphones” said Standard & Poor’s credit analyst, Matthias Raab.

Listen, I love my smartphone too, and I spend way too much time on it as I’m sure you do as well, but I think it’s important to know the difference between what can be done on your mobile device and what should be handled on a good old-fashioned desktop.

If you want a larger display, go play on your computer, or go buy a tablet. I agree that it’s beneficial to be able to handle tasks on-the-go, or watch TV when you’re waiting in the doctor’s office, but the line has to be drawn somewhere.

In Honor of National Cleavage Day!!

Go ahead, google it! Today is National Cleavage Day!

All of a sudden I think I may go to the Tilted Kilt for dinner tonight.

By the way, I can write the next great American Novel on the blog and no one will read the post. A post like this will get a bevy of hits!

World Series MVP Jermaine Dye Officially Retires!

All the best to a class-act!

2005 World Series MVP (All-Star and Silver Slugger in '06; 5th in MVP voting in '06! ), Jermaine Dye was always a class act at the Southside. Despite the fact that his White Sox career was only five seasons, it is fitting that the last team he played for was the White Sox. Paulie and JD hit their 300th homeruns in back-to-back at bats!! Wore #23, a number that should only be reserved for special players in Chicago. Here's hoping that he joins the White Sox organization, either as a coach or in the front office!

Time to add a Jermaine Dye Day (bobblehead!?!) to the schedule!

JD, thanks for bringing a World Series Championship to Chicago!!!
