    Hi,

    I send the keyword that made my add show in Google to my landing page using {keyword} in the URL.

    Is it possible to encrypt the keyword, so my competitors doesn't steal my golden keywords?

    Thanks, Mads

    Hi Mads,

    How will your competitors get hold of the keywords just by passing them through in your landing URL? surely they would have had to type the search term into Google and have clicked on one of your adverts to get this info - in that case they already have the keyword?

    Thanks
    Ben

    True, but what about broad matches - wouldn't the keyword being sent be my keyword and not the keyword they have entered.

    Let's say I want my add to show for broad matches of "digital point". Then I would guess the keyword being sent to my site would be "digital point" even if my competitor searched for "digital point question".
