At this point I also selected to emphasize top converting general search terms in a separate camping with high budget and aggressive keyword pricing.
As the new structure is set up, I have expanded my keyword list using the keyword tool, taking special notice for opportunity to get new ideas for more ad groups and negative keywords. As the keyword list grows my pricing strategy for this stage was moderate.
I then continued to write several ad variations, Here simplicity is key. Just say it. Is my motto.
