Read the article here.

You want to diversify your website traffic sources so you can drive more traffic, set yourself up for long-term success, and capture as many potential customers and leads as possible.

Jessica Thiefles urges you to look past Google and social media as traffic sources and consider:

  • Going digital with print
  • Guest posting
  • Email

By adding exact match negative keywords across non-exact match campaigns/ad groups, you can force the search engine to force the exact match queries to match to your exact match keywords versus matching them to phrase or broad match.
