Fun with the Adwords ‘Romantic Erotica’ and ‘Erotic Romance’
Okay, so I can’t get ‘romantica’, so I thought I’d try ‘romantic erotica’ and ‘erotic romance.’ Here’s what the dictionary says about these words:
Erotic: 1: of, relating to, or tending to arouse sexual love or desire
2: strongly marked or affected by sexual desire
Romance 1: A feeling of excitement or mystery associated with love.
2: Love, especially when sentiment or idealized.
Sounds like a good match for Comstock Films, no? Looks pretty Relevent right? Not according to the Googlebot:
This keyword has a low Quality Score, so the minimum bid exceeds your current maximum cost-per-click (CPC).
What does this mean?
Each keyword is given a Quality Score based on the relevance of your keyword, ad text, and landing page. If your keyword quality is low, the minimum CPC bid required to show your ad for that keyword will be high. Conversely, high quality keywords have lower minimum CPC bids.
If the minimum CPC bid for a keyword is greater than your maximum CPC bid, your keyword becomes inactive and your ads stop showing for that term. Learn more about monitoring your account performance.
Here’s a site that seems to have a better Quality Score for ‘erotic romance’ than Comstock Films. The Googlebot does think we’d be a good match for ‘cum guzzling sluts.’ Says we’d get a low CPC on that one. Thanks, but we’ll pass.
You know what I think the problem is? I think the Googlebot needs to get laid!
Back to the drawing board…
P.S. It looks like Google is serving anti-porn advertisements onto Violet Blue’s San Francisco Chronical Column. And here’s another site advertising using the Adword keyword ‘erotic romance’ that apparently has a higher Quality Score than Comstock Films. I think the Googlebot is conflicted about sex!
