I was once promoting an instant messaging program, and noticed I was showing for ‘leather bags’:

instant messaging > messenger > messenger bags > leather bags

Very tenuous I know, but it does make you steer away from unmodified broad match.

I recently did an overview for a client who was managing their own adwords. They had broad match on the keywords “IPO” and “M&A” and oh man what a mess that was.

Best that stick out:

Can a Hipo kill a lion
I ma bitch

Plus tons of randomly garbly text. I swear they had more hits from cats on sleeping on keyboards then then real people.

Never broad match 2 and 3 letter phrases!

These were organic, but still funny. When I worked at a church a few years ago, some of the guys knew that I checked our inbound keywords from time to time to see what was working. One month I found a few like this:

mickey mellen “mtbethel.org ” -old -old -dad
mickey mellen “mtbethel.org ” -your -moma

They knew the phrase would find the church site, and that clicking through would get it to appear on my reports. They were patient and waited until I discovered it on my own. Pretty funny stuff.
