Negative keywords to paste

"landscaping"

Why?

What changes: Do this and about $1 a month stops going to searches like these. That money goes to searches that can turn into jobs. The other $39 is already blocked.

The quotation marks make each one a phrase match: it blocks any search containing those words in that order. Don't add a word you also bid on, or your own ads can stop showing.
