Ads not showing on the long really are one of Google's big mistakes/problems.
Currently, with extending match (broad), they are trying to get allt he advertisers onto the same keywords, and discarding low CPCs on long tail keywords, because there is not enough competition. Which is... outrageous.
I'm having the same problem. I have all these keywords that were getting searched on last week, hundreds of clicks per day overall. Now none of them get any impressions because of "low search volume". Load of crap!
Hi Dan,
I recently did some research to find out exactly how low search volume these keywords have, and found 'low search volume' keywords with up to 573 monthly searches http://www.alanmitchell.com.au/techniques/how-low-is-low-search-volume/
Hardly low search volume.
I agree with Eloi - automatically deactivating low search keywords is a poor move by Google, as it prevents small businesses, who can't compete with bug businesses on highly generic keywords, reach small niches through long-tail keyword targeting. Can only hurt Google's profitability in the long term.
Cheers,
Alan
Thanks Alan, enjoyed your post.
Before deleting lsv kws I'll check alltime search volume.
