Negative Keywords

Negative keywords block unwanted ad impressions for your PPC marketing efforts and are an integral component of any successful keyword list. When you add a negative keyword you are telling the search engine explicitly that you do not wish to advertise for search queries containing your negative keyword.

The appropriate use of negative keywords allows a PPC advertiser to reach the right audience, reduce unwanted impressions, lower costs, and maximize profit.
