    Your podcasts are so straightforward. Love that! Keep it up!

  2. Hi Matt,

    So for each product, should we create 1 exact, 1 phrase, and 1 broad campaigns then?

    • yeah, that is what i have at minimum. plus autotarget, suggested and a ton of other campaigns as well.

  3. really dug this episode.. optimizing ppc is so freeeking key

  4. Do you turn off PPC once you’ve reached Page 1 for a particular KW?

  5. First time I heard your podcast and this was awesome.

    I got a question. Going back to your example. Let’s say I am selling just regular white gym socks.

    So if you have a broad match campaign and one of your keywords is socks. You get a bunch of impressions on socks and your cpc is high as hell as well but you have no sales. Do you negative keyword the word socks?

    Would you put socks in your exact match?

    I am running 3 campaigns right now similar to yours and I just started on the 17th. So far I got ACOS in the 60s for all. But there is one main keyword that is the equivalent of socks for my product getting tons of impressions /clicks and no sales. I really don’t want to negative word it because I want to rank for it but is it worth it?

    Not sure what to do here.

    • odds are it’s like:

      toe socks
      red toe socks
      small toe socks
      socks without toes
      toe nail socks…

      etc… eliminate nail, without etc to remove the bad combos but leave the main keywords in my opinion

  6. I Loved the Podcast on Negative Keywords, etc. I have a question though.
    Does one enter the whole phrase of non-performing search terms into negative Keywords or just individual words? Examples “Kids candy jar” when the keyword you want clicks is “candy jar”. What is entered for negative kws?

    Thanks, I can see how this may be a huge benefit.

    • depends on what you sell.

      if you sell mason jars
      negative: kids, maybe negative candy as well.

      just remove them separately as negative exact and phrase match and it will kill it.

      unless you sell kids jars or candy jars or kids candy etc…
