The dynamic keyword insertion tool for adwords is a great tool for managing large amounts of diverse keywords within an adgroup. For those of you who are not familiar the keyword insertion tool allows you to place a code combined with a generic keyword into your ads.

And implementing both SEO and paid search simultaneously can give your business an irresistible one-two advantage.
