    The mind boggles as to what that advertiser was really trying to target... that or it's pure arbitrage.

    Ok - here's my deduction as to what has happened here - they intended to target fans of old indie rock group "The Wedding Present" (who do feature on the site), and put it to broad match voila- nonsense ad.

    They bought the term Wedding Dress which is a song by Derek Webb.

    No arbitrage here- they copied a long list of song titles without thinking about the dual meaning they may have. A guaranteed way to get slapped by google for irrelevancy (and low CTR).

    I wonder if they bought the keyword yesterday as well...

    You're right - it's more likely to be the song than the band that they're targeting. Though I don't think RealNetworks are too bothered about google slapping, or wasting a few advertising pennies, their net income last year was in excess of $142 million

    Yes, it is more likely that they are targeting to "wedding dress" song. But I think they should bid "wedding dress song" instead of "wedding dress". The keyword "wedding dress" is a big search term. Even $0.1 bid could end up in thousands of dollars a month.

    Adding several negative keywords such "cake" "invitation" "photo" could trigger more relevant impressions.
