How we recommend the negative keywords?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do statistical analysis of the search terms and their historical performance, before generating the negative keyword recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karooya uses the n-gram technique\u00a0<\/strong>to break down large volumes of data into segments or themes and compare performance at various aggregation\u00a0levels.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The poorly performing themes are grouped as negative keyword recommendations.  It is to help advertisers focus on the high impact item first and keep away all the noise (i.e terms with low volume).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karooya’s recommendation engine takes n-gram analysis to the next level by also including close variants in the process.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

And the software never loses track of all the individual search queries and their performances at every stage of analysis. You can read more about N-Gram analysis in Karooya’s Negative keyword tool here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Recommended negatives<\/strong> – These are 1-grams with an additional constraint – i.e. these terms are not part of any of your targeting keywords. These words appeared along with some of your target keywords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Must Add Negatives<\/strong><\/a> – It displays a list of top offending search themes that you should take a look at the first. These are list of highly recommended terms, as they have significantly used the ad spend and have been poorly performing. Terms with less than 5 conversions have been listed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Campaign Negatives<\/strong> – Your negative keywords will reflect in Campaign Negatives if added from Must-Add Negatives, Recommended Negatives , Similar Negatives, Multi-Word Negatives tabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
