Phrase Match
-
For paid advertising:
If I say this keyword is phrase match:
red cars
Will google or bing show the ad for keywords:
cars that are red
cars with redDo they include "Stop" words?
Thanks.

So basically you're asking if Google Adwords and/or MSN Adcenter ignore stop words for the purpose of match types? I've never heard that they do, so I believe that your ad would not show in the examples you gave.

If phrase match = "red cars"
Google will show your ad for phrases that contain the exact phrase "red cars".
So the search "Songs about red cars" would show your ads.
Your two examples: "cars that are red" and "cars with red" don't actually contain your exact phrase "red cars" so they should not be showing up. Your negative keywords should still apply to the phrase match.

AdGroup by Match Type or by Keyword?
Hi, Will someone please tell me which AdGroup structure makes the most sense? Grouping Keywords by Match Type? i.e. [pizza store], [pizza restaurant], [pizzeria], etc. or by Keywords? i.e. pizza store, "pizza store", [pizza store] We're basically trying to figure out which structure makes the most sense and which will allow us to earn the best quality score. I've heard of people using both strategies. Personally, I think it should be grouped, more often than not, by keyword. This enables one to tailor the ad and landing page to the specific keyword. I am curious to hear some reasons for grouping them the other way. Thanks for your thoughts.

Broad Match Modifier - Adwords Experts
Hi All, Looking for a little feedback from anyone running/managing ppc campaigns. I'm trying to decide if Broad Match Modifier search terms are actually helping. I see many instances where they have a low quality score, high cpc and low CTR. This leads to me think that these terms are actually bringing all my other ads down due to these negative signs. I have most search terms as "Phrase Match" and [Exact Match] so i'm not sure why i need the Broad Match + Modifier terms as well. Looking for some advice from the experts ... Do you guys agree with my assessment and what is your overall opinion on the usefulness of Broad Match Modifier terms. Thanks

Google Analytics CPC and PPC not Matching
Hi Why do our CPC in Google Analytic not match our PPC in Adword, surely they should be identical? We have Auto-tagging switched on and data in our history is wrong so it is not a timing issue. Thanks

Why doesn't exact match appear to be working for me in Google AdWords tool?
Hi guys, I recently read Rand's article here and tried out the exact match symbols on my keywords. However, these don't appear to be working for me as the results aren't showing up as they do in the above SEOmoz article (attached screenshot). What am I doing wrong?

Multiple keyword match types - same ad group, or separate ad groups?
Hi guys, Looking at an account that has historically used broad matching, and i'd now like to take some of the better performing keywords and duplicate as phrase and/or exact match to increase the quality of traffic to the landing pages. I know I can add red shoes, "red shoes" and [red shoes] to the same ad group, however I've also read that people are creating separate groups for each match type. Other than easy of management (same group), or more granular targeting of ads (separate groups), should I go with either approach, or a blend of the two? My key objective in this restructure is to drop the currently high bounce rate on the landing pages by improving the relevance of the incoming traffic. Cheers, Jez

Adwords and Analytics figures not matching up
We are currently running a A/B test on a landing page using only adwords to split the traffic. Looking at the figures in adwords has given us a higher number of conversions than the analytics is giving us in transactions. The conversion rate is also different. The only visitors this page is getting is from Adwords. Can someone please help us understand why this is? Cheers Al
