Optimizing expanded match in Google & finding negatives for expanded match.

If you’re using expanded match within Google for any campaigns, then a good way to find which terms Google aggregates is the following:

For a client selling BLINDS (i.e. Window Blinds), there are obvious connotations that could be followed that are clearly irrelevant. By entering the search query: ~blinds -blinds  into google you will see in bold all the terms that Google has equated. For example:

visually impaired

treatments

shades

Drapery

Curtains

Coverings

Try it for yourself - it could provide you with significant new keywords or negative keywords to optimize your account.
