Considerations with negative word rule


Article summary

A word of caution
Negating singular words will also negate their plural variations and vice versa.

Examples

  • Negating "turners" negates "spatula turner."
  • Negating "spatula-turner" negates "spatula turner."

To avoid negating good traffic, consider the following:

  • Do not assign this rule to ad groups with exact match keywords.
  • Assign this rule to ads with the primary goal of discovering new keywords, such as automatic campaigns.
  • Whitelist important keywords under the Blacklist/Whitelist Rule.
