Test words for a Google AdSearch

Not that I'm silly first thing in the morning, but... well... just typing in "green tea" as suggested seemed a little, well, lame...

The purple pheasant is a hesitant beast.
It stutters and mutters and thinks on its feet.
Be sure when you see it, it's running away.
And no purple prose will entice it to stay.

The standard AdWords keyword set wasn't too sure what to make of this, although "it's running away" did trigger a little bit of response. Astoundingly, the "additional keywords" set did pick up that this was supposed to be funny with "funny thinks" and "funny prose"; the word 'prose' in the above was probably a bit of a clue. I'm not sure where the suggestions "who is", "see out", "my you" and "see up" came from though.

How about Philadelphia and Mathematics and May 2008? Those test words let to an unexpected discovery. Then of course subsequent search, each more targeted than the last, reveal a great deal. Pictures even. Did you really not think that was possible? Perhaps you underestimate.
