Exact match kw includes negative kw

in same ad group - does this work?

[millie]

I have a negative keyword that will helpfully exclude a lot of off-target traffic but I need to use the negative keyword in one [exact match phrase] in the same Ad Group in order to get some good quality traffic.

Is this nonsense or does Google treat the exact match differently from phrase/broad match?

Hi Millie,

I had the same question earlier, which was answered here:
