What are SmartCrawler Keywords?
SmartCrawler™ is our exclusive auto-detection technology that finds infringing ads.
SmartCrawler keywords are brand-plus keywords that are commonly abused by affiliate marketers who are brand-bidding against your policy. Examples include ‘brand’ + ‘free promo’ or ‘brand’ + ‘free shipping’.
SmartCrawler keywords are free additional keywords that are added to Ultimate and higher compliance monitoring plan. (See our pricing plans.) Generally, you can expect 10-20 additional free keywords per trademark variation in your compliance monitoring account.
