Thank you! Will definitely PM you if I start to get lost.

Everyone, thanks for the responses.

I appreciate the info on Broad Match Modifier. reading through it now. Thanks Dave, that's funny I have used the list ChicagoStyle has posted as a resource!

This will end up being a two part question:

We have been running a search marketing campaign for about 45 days.  It seems no matter how many negative keywords we add (over 300 right now), we still are receiving borderline relevant traffic to the broad match ad group.

We are in the printing industry and I think this in itself presents a challenge since there are thousands of competitors in our market, national & local.  People also search for a variety of items, most of which end up having nothing to do with our business (i.e. animal prints, zebra prints etc.)

We are running several different ad groups: one exact match, one broad and one phrase match.

• Does anyone have a resource or links they are willing to share that has general negative terms they use before creating any new campaign? I have ones I have found, but wondering if there is a very good master resource out there.

• How many key phrases do you typically add to an 'Exact Match' ad group?

Thank you!

This is helpful! I just tried to add myself as a contributor to the blog on my Google plus profile.  However, I keep receiving a 'Please enter a valid URL.' message.

Our blog is www.cushingco.com/blog - I am guessing the /blog is the issue?

Will it work if I am contributing to www.cushingco.com

Thanks to you both for the replies! So far, we have our Users set up.

Under  'Biographical Info' we have a short bio on the author with a link to the Google + profile.

(I don't see a Google + Profile URL. section.)

Takeshi, are you saying each post our author adds to the blog need to have a link back to the 'Biographical Info' page?

'Biographical Info'

Hello,

I took a look through past questions but can't seem to find a definitive answer on setting up Google + Authorship credit (for multiple authors) using a Wordpress blog.

Has anyone had experience setting this up?

Or could you recommend solid reading/research?

I took a look at a couple of Wordpress plug in's but just found them very confusing (so did our IT contact who will ultimately be setting up code for this.)

Any direction or advice is appreciated.
