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

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.
