If you have a six-figure annual budget and would be happy with a mere 10% return on investment (ROI), don’t bother bidding for popular 1-word keywords. The competition for most single-word keywords is fierce, searches on single words are made most frequently by people who are simply not ready to spend their money. They are merely investigating the market, gathering information, they are “tyre-kickers”.
1-word keywords would probably bankrupt you very quickly.
2-word keywords are a better bet, they can still command a high cost per click in competitive markets. Surfers who search on them may still not be ready to buy, although they’re getting there.
Keyword phrases of three words and up are known as “long-tail” keywords. The word “keyword” in pay-per-click advertising can mean a phrase of more than one actual word, like “New York”. A “keyword phrase” consists of more than one “keyword”.)
3-word keyword phrases have the highest conversion rate. People who type three words as a search term have usually done their investigations, know exactly what they want, and are now ready to buy.
4-word keyword phrases fare slightly less well because the searcher may indeed be ready to buy, but is comparing prices for a very specific item, or is doing some academic research.
Don’t understimate the power of negative keywords! If you sell tulips. You don’t want your ad to appear when someone searches on the term “grow tulips”.

Advertiser has learned expensive lessons using this setting. If your product makes a popular Christmas gift, you definitely want to use the broad match option in November and December.
Phrase Match- a matching option that gives you a bit more control over your ads telling the Adwords platform to only show your ad when a search is conducted for the particular order of your keyword phrase. Using the phrase match option for “travel journals”, the ad would appear when someone search for a phrase with “travel journals”.
Exact Match- the most targeted option you should for your ad to appear in searches for the exact keyword phrase as written, if you want your ad to appear in searches for “travel journals” and nothing else use the exact match, just place brackets around the keyword phrase.
Negative Match- this doesn’t involve cussing, insults or adult sites, it allows you to designate which keyword phrase search results you do not want your ad to appear in. You may not want your travel journal product to appear in search results for “Amazon travel journals”. List the keyword phrase with a dash in front of it and my ad will not appear.
