    I am looking for an Excel template with Macros that would allow me to drop a column of keywords next to a column of modifiers and it would build out thousands of keywords with a Macro. Can anyone drop their best SEO/SEM Excel template spreadsheet links in the comments?

        Hmmm, that's a bit more complicated. I'm sure there's a Macro out there that can do it, but I don't know one off the top of my head.

        I think this can be done without a Macro but it will take a little bit of manual work. Here's what I would do:

        Place your two sets of keywords in Columns A and B. Select all of Column B and cut (ctrl+x) it. Then in Cell B1, right click, select Paste Special > Transpose. Then, move Column A down one so the list starts in Cell A2.

        This will create a matrix with one set of keywords in Column A and the modifiers in Row 1.

        Next, in Cell B2, enter this formula:

        =$A2&" "&B$1

        Copy this across all cells in the matrix and you'll have 10,000 unique keywords. You will then have to remove the formulas by copying the entire sheet, right clicking in Cell A1 and selecting Past Special > Values.

        Finally, you'll have to do some manual work of cutting and pasting all the separate columns into one long column of 10k keywords.

        I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it's the best I can think of for know. I've updated that spreadsheet example to give you a better idea of what I mean - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsNfzI57aVSXdGFKME1pamRnZkJNandZWVpoVkFXZkE

        Or, if you want to send your initial set of keywords to me, I wouldn't mind giving it a shot myself. Feel free to send it to tim@prontomarketing.com.

        Best,

        Tim

          Hi Tim,

          Thanks so much for your response. To be more clear, I would have a row of 100 keywords in column A, and 100 keywords in column B. I would like each of the 100 keywords in column A to be combined with each of the keywords in column B giving me 10,000 keywords.

            If I'm correctly understanding your goal here, I think this can be accomplished by just using an Excel formula. You shouldn't need a Macro to combine two columns.

            Place your keywords in Column A and the modifiers in Column B. Then, in Column C, enter the following formula:

            =A1&" "&B1

            Copy this formula down the list and it will combine the contents of the two cells separated by a space. Here's an example I put together in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsNfzI57aVSXdGFKME1pamRnZkJNandZWVpoVkFXZkE

            Hope this helps!

            Tim

              Keyword & negative keyword overlap

              negitive keywords google paid ads

              So I just read your blog on quality score and after reading the negative keyword section I'm a little confused and I need clarification. In that paragraph you mentioned about not overlapping your negative keywords with your active keywords and you used an example of dog food and dog bed. So my question is, if you put the word dog bed into the negative keyword list isn't the word dog the over lap word? Would you ad not show because the word dog is in the active keyword list?

              Special Characters in Negative Keywords in Ads

              Howdy, fellow mozzers, I came across this weird suggestion in my Bing account (screenshot link: https://dmitrii-regexseo.tinytake.com/tt/NDY3OTc5NF8xNDgyMzY4OA) It almost that the dollar sign in the negative keyword is acting like a wildcard character, or being disregarded completely. I did some tests, it seems that in Google Ads that is not happening. Does anyone have an idea if this is normal behavior? I have never seen this before.

              PPC: how to get rid of an ad appearing on a keyword we don't want?

              Hi, Our ad on Google Ads is appearing for a search we don't want. it isn't in our search keywords and when i try and ad it to our negative ones, we get the error " You cannot exclude keywords that are targeted " which i assume means that google thinks we are bidding on it? We have a selection of broad phrase matches so i can only think that this is where it's coming from? Do you have any tips on tracking down which keyword is generating this ad and how we can turn it off? (we don't want to pay for clicks on this search if possible!) Btw - i have turned off each keyword in turn to test it = nothing. have then paused the whole campaign = gets rid of the ad (but this is our most successful campaign so i can't just turn it off). Any advice super super welcome. thank you!

              Is there any reason to add the word "buy" to our Adwords keywords?

              Was having a discussion with someone so I am going to write this up as neutral as possible and let you guys decide. We have a large keyword list and they are all setup as phrase. Should we go back and add the word buy in front of all those keywords? Even though they are setup as phrase already. Example: "Widget" (as a phrase) Should we go back and add "Buy Widget" as a keyword?

              Does anybody know of a good bulk import http response checker? The one I was using has disappeared and I can only find checkers that only take one URL at a time.

              An example of something I'm looking for but I want to check multiple checkers: http://web-sniffer.net/
