Negative Keywords Make a Difference

by jmb Prodigy(November 2007) (rank 38th)
 
 

I just read a Search Engine Roundtable Article detailing the importance of negative keywords and it brought some points to mind:


Negative Keywords Are Important because:

­ Traffic is worthless if it bounces. Rarely do you get anywhere just by having a visitor.

­ Good analytics let you know how people are coming to your site. Great analytics is used to stop paying for traffic that brings in no revenue.

­ Quality Score – enough said!

­ You are part of a community that brings in revenue from Adwords. It’s your job to make all traffic to your site as relevant as possible.

­ Your race horse trading site is a great site. However traffic from the phrase “my little pony” isn’t going to get you as far as just “pony” will.

Negative keywords have really saved some of my campaigns - too bad Google got rid of the negative keyword suggestion tool.

This is spot on.  I spent a lot of money on adwords before I figured out just how important good analytics are.

In addition to saving money, negative keywords adhere to the Google principle of giving users what they want. That is, Google wants relevant search results and using negative keywords makes one's AdWords more relevant.
