Or, in other words, how broad is broad match?<\/p>\n

Any serious AdWords manager is watching the search terms attracted by her keywords religiously.<\/p>\n

And any serious AdWords manager has already been frustrated by the fact that he cannot see, in one table, side by side, the search term, the match type of the keyword, and the keyword which was triggered by it.<\/p>\n
