Recommended Keyword
TL;DR — Recommended keywords are search terms listed by the advertiser on their offer page that publishers are encouraged to use in paid search campaigns. They represent the keywords the advertiser considers relevant and acceptable for SEM promotion of their offer. On Involve Asia, where a recommended keyword list exists on an offer page, PPC publishers should use it as a starting point to build compliant paid search campaigns.
What Is a Recommended Keyword?
A recommended keyword is a search term an advertiser suggests publishers use when running paid search ads to promote their offer. These are terms the advertiser believes will attract relevant, high-intent traffic that is likely to convert — giving PPC publishers a shortcut to building campaigns aligned with the advertiser’s own understanding of their audience.
Recommended keywords are especially useful for publishers who are new to an offer or unfamiliar with the advertiser’s category. Rather than researching from scratch, they can start with the advertiser’s suggested terms, which are already known to be acceptable and relevant to the offer.
Recommended keywords also implicitly signal what’s allowed. An offer that restricts brand keyword bidding but lists generic category terms as recommended is clearly pointing publishers toward non-brand search as the approved route for paid promotion.
Recommended Keywords on Involve Asia
On Involve Asia, some offer pages include a list of recommended keywords as part of the offer’s details. PPC publishers should check for this list before launching paid search campaigns, since it represents the advertiser’s preferred approach to keyword targeting for their offer.
Using recommended keywords alongside the offer’s restricted traffic sources and allowed promotion methods gives PPC publishers the clearest possible picture of how to run compliant, effective paid search campaigns without risking commission reversals or account penalties.
