    I recently got an adwords coupon from godaddy so I decided to give ppc a try and all the keywords I put in come out with OK as the landing page quality, so I used the site-related keyword a try to see what keywords I should use and to my surprise I got this message

    " We're sorry, but there isn't enough text on this webpage to generate relevant keywords; at least a few paragraphs are necessary to provide results. You can try entering a different URL, or check the box labeled 'Include other pages on my site linked from this URL'. "

    The site is My blog so I was surprised when it said I didnt have enough text, I tried another of my blogs with way less text and it came up with a whole list of keywords, Anyone know what the problem may be?

    Thank you very much, I had the privacy option set to block everyone but normal users, no keywords are showing up but hopefully that'll change after google crawls my site.

    Okay a day of googles robots crawling my sites and all my keywords have dropped to poor, even for sites Im advertising that have no ads and plenty of content. This makes no sense they are basically forcing me to try and manipulate the system instead of being honest.

    Try adding this to all the pages of your blog:

    <meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />

    J/K:) Keep us posted on how things progress.

    I got a very long an informative email from Divya Ramaswamy of The Google AdWords Team and among other things it suggested I create smaller more detailed ad groups, So I gave it a shot and made two ad groups in which the keywords were in the ad copy. These same keyword were at poor for the same page and at $1-$5 minimum bids and just putting the keyword in the ad copy gave me OK ratings dropping the cpc to a manageable .2-.1. Im still trying to get great though thats taking quite a bit of work on my landing page.
