thanks for providing the two links to the article and forum thread on expanded match! i first came across it when one of my clients, a holiday company in spain offering holiday villas in a number of areas, were showing the "Nerja" ads for searches like "villas in spain" even though i wans't bidding on "villas in spain" at all. while this seems like a logical, yet cost driving, "linking" of keywords, i have seen many, many more unlogical examples in the past and tend to use broad match only as the exception. phrase match is my friend. |

Hi 'H' – I'm glad you found the 2 articles regarding the woes of Broad Match to be interesting as well. I'm with you – more and more we're starting to shift our campaigns over to Phrase and Exact Match. In the past we found Broad Match coupled with Negatives to be an effective strategy – but with Google's Expanded Broad Match now starting to fall way off of the mark, we're definitely reassessing. |
