Keyword Research - Beyond The Ordinary
The document discusses how search query mining can help improve paid search performance more than traditional keyword research. It recommends analyzing search queries in tools from Google, Bing, and Yahoo to find new opportunities, improve ad-keyword alignment, and identify underperforming queries to cut. Regular search query mining can help optimize accounts and find "gold" in top-converting queries to promote.
