Negative Keywords |
Ads won't show when people search on these words or phrases. Enter one word or phrase per line, using the following syntax to indicate match type:
- Keyword or "Keyword" will be phrase matched
- [Keyword] will be exact match
Match types help control which searches won't trigger your ad.
-
phrase: Your ad won't appear when consumers search on the exact phrase and also when their search contains additional terms, as long as the keyword phrase is in exactly the same order. For example, if you enter a keyword such as golf clubs, your ad won't appear when there is a search for golf clubs, in this order, and there may be other terms in the query.
-
exact: The search query must exactly match your keyword, or be a close variant. For example, if you enter a keyword such as golf clubs, your ad won't appear when there is a search for golf clubs, in this order, and without any other terms in the query.
