That’s a misunderstanding of how the adwords auction system works.”</em></p><p> </p><p><em>“There’s a tendency to wanna have the widest net, but the widest net doesn’t necessarily catch the fish that you want.”</em></p><p> </p><p>How to build ads:</p><p><em>“We need to get in the mindset of the consumer.
