Broad match is similar, yes, but from my experience (which isn’t much), Yahoo’s Advanced Match takes a lot more liberties into what it displays.

I actually prefer Google’s match types over Yahoo’s. AdWords allows you to be much more specific on match-types, while Yahoo seems to be much more simplified…

I think Broad Match on Google would be the same as Advanced Match, but I am not sure. It seems hard to believe Yahoo could actually do anything better than Google lol.

It’s because of the method of PPC affiliate marketing. I use PPC advertising networks like AdWords to purchase advertising, and affiliate networks like MarketLeverage to run offers.

My ad money is spent on AdWords, and money generated comes from MarketLeverage.

For June, I spent more in AdWords than I received in MarketLeverage. I just need to switch that..

I’m amazed on how you earned that money even if you’ve got a negative revenue.

Ah, yes, Yahoo has an Advanced matching option, but not Google.

For the long tail keywords, I actually don’t generate all of them by hand. I use programs such as SpeedPPC to help me do this, being able to generate thousands of long tail keywords quickly.

Well, I am referring to Yahoo. I just assumed it was the same on Google. But, on Yahoo, you choose either Standard or Advanced. Advanced would match long tail keywords like “keyword *” or “* keyword”. Standard match just matches exact keyword, misspellings, and I think common phrases like “how to keyword”, but it wouldn’t match “keyword descriptor”. I hope that makes sense. Like I said I am also new, but I believe the Yahoo and Google will do the long tail matching for you.

Congratulations on receiving your first check from us! I am sure there will be many more behind that one with more zeros on the end. ~ Debby

Hi Dave,

Can you explain what “advanced match” for keywords is? I’m using the various ones on http://www.google.com/adwords/learningcenter/text/19135.html but am not aware of any dynamic keyword matching…
