just got several copies of the latest MSN AdCenter Newsletter...
here's the keyword match types they explain there...

~~~~~~~~~~~~
Exact match
Your keyword term matches the searcher’s phrase exactly.

Phrase match
Your keyword term and the searcher’s phrase contain the same words, but in a different order (or with words in between).

Broad match
Your keyword term includes all of the words in the searcher’s phrase in any order.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

ummm... thanks?

(ps - the second bold is technically true, but a really contorted and misleading way to summarize it - since extended / expanded broad match is inherent, it's like saying banana creme pies are nothing but crust. that 1st bolding, well, their proof reader was out sick this week.)
