    Can You have negative keywords at the following levels:

    Account level
    Campaign level

    also how do you do it in Google, Yahoo, and MSN if yes?

    thanks in advance,

    In AdWords you can only have them at the campaign level (pain in the arse if you ask me). Same with MSN.

    Yahoo allow account wide negatives but only allow 50.

    If you want negatives on Account level, simply but the negatives into each campaign.

    And going the other direction you can have them at the Ad Group level as well.

    Sorry, forgot to mention that ;)

    adding:
    -word

    will add "word" as a negative keyword.
    Thanks guyfromchicago.

    It's not that much of a pain only having negs at campaign and AdGroup level. You can use editor to copy and paste them across all campaigns in seconds.

    Editor - I couldn't do my job without it anymore. I'd need 4 more people to help

    if u ask me, its not so much of a pain.. like briggidere said..
    I guess the biggest hurdle is that most of the users dont use Google AW Editor.. They still do it over the web, where i agree that even the simple task of copy-pasting can be annoying..

    thankfully i dont have that many adwords campaign to manage.. but if someone has 400 campaigns to manage then... :eek:

    i just lost my chain of thot

    edit: gives me an idea - how many campaigns do ppl have?? hmm.. dont wanna hijack this thread.. i guess i'll start a new one...
