Quick Keywords question

[slobizman]

I'm making up my first ad and am confused if the list of keywords are AND or OR with each other. In other words if I key in "A" in one line and "B" in the next line, do both A and B have to be in a search string, or either A or B have to be in it?

Also, if I want to add a negative keyword, do I add it after a keyword, like A -C, or do I place -B in a separate line?

Thanks.

Hi

It is easy:

If you want A and B: place A B in the same line
If you want A or B: place A in one line, B in the next
If you want AB and not AB: place "A B"
If you want only A and not AB: place [A]
If you want a negative word C: add -C to the list

You cannot combine multiple of these in the same line: eg A [B] -C in one line would absolutely not work, however
A
[B]
-C
Would.

Hope this helps
Cheers

"You cannot combine multiple of these in the same line: eg A [B] -C in one line would absolutely not work, however
A
[B]
-C
Would. "

But, would that not then turn into a logical OR?

Also, how would I say I want the phrase "Big dog" AND the word Cat? I can't do it on two lines because it would be a logical OR. Yet, I can also not do:

"Big dog" cat

on one line becuase I cannot mix a phrase and a word.

I think for that case your best best would be

big dog cat

Their tools are pretty good but you're bumping into the limitations!

But I guess I could not do this:

Big dog cat -pussycat

Right?

If that's the case the negative keyword is basically useless.
