Great tip! I have never thought of that…I bet that would cut down on PPC cost as well. Thanks for sharing.

This could be quite interesting, I had never thought of this, great tip Todd. Glad I found this rather then never.

I discovered this trick about a year ago, when I gained a client who runs an online shop for dog products and his own AdWords campaign, told me that the best keyword for him is “for dogs” (para perros in spanish). So, everyone searching for a product “for dogs” would see his ad!
Since then, I use “for”, “in”, “to” etc. and it really works well!

I love discovering stuff like this. Like when I realized that the phrase "green medical stool" could mean two very different things, and I was unintentionally bidding on a phrase about poo. Good times. Adrienne Dosss last blog post..Save Time With the Google Analytics Filter Manager

This has been an issue for a while, and why stop there…

I see lot of ads for ‘plumber doctors’. They might mean Maryland plumbers (plumbers md).

Where is Orange County? If you just think Orlando and LA; keep going.

I like the idea Todd and I would be interested to see more data. One thought I had though: The real gold mine would be the 3rd word(s) wouldn't it? Nobody searches Keyword + IN. They search for Keyword + IN + Place. Seems to me that mining your search query reports or analytics would provide the real value as you discover and add the locations (for IN) or alternatives (for OR) that searchers associate with your targeted keyword.
