Google, Please allow us to hide the negative keywords

The page is just too long.

We have a program that by necessity has a lot of negative keywords. It would sure be nice if I could hide them until needed. It takes forever to scroll down the page.

Anybody else have this problem or is it just me?

I'm pretty sure that you can solve your problem better by using exact match rather than negative keywords if there are that many of them.

Our programs are under both country and regional names and it would be impossible to determine every search phrase that someone might type in. We use the approach on these terms of eliminating the more frequently searched ones that would have nothing to do with the revenue parts of our site. It works well except for all those negative words. It's more of a nuisance thing than a big problem. We can hide the deleted ads and terms now. It would be nice if we could also hide the negatives.

I do not like the EXACT match, I prefer the phrase match.... but I still have a LOT of negative keywords.

Not sure if I can/should post my words here... so I won't. So letrs talk about my widget page. I specialize in circular widgets... black, red, blue, orange... all kinds of widgets, but just circular ones.

So I go after "circular Widgets" (rather than [circular widgets]) because many people search for red circular widgets... and many other (100's!) of colors.

But I do not want those looking for free red circular widgets... or to download them, or for images of them, etc...

So I think- at least for me- having those (and a LOT of them) negative keywords is something I need.... and I, too, wish I could hide them!

I agree that the option to hide negative keywords would be a great feature for Google to add. I have many negative keywords for each of my ad groups, and scrolling through them is quite tiresome.

I got a feeling your wish is soon to be granted with all the changes promised for the new improved Control Panel...

I also agree that there should be an option to hide negative keywords to speed page loading times. I stopped using negatives on many of my keywords and moved to exact match for that reason. Lets hope Google fixes the problem soon because ROI is better with negatives.
