I always think that there's something a little bit dodgy about those weird blue "sponsored links" and completely ignore them! I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

Still, try the honey and let me know! I’m not a great fan of it either, Monica, but it has different properties than honey. Still, try the honey and let me know!

I am baking Wiebke's famous Sacher-torte, and for the ganache - says the recipe - I need 150 g golden syrup. May I use honey instead as I am not so fond of the golden stuff? Thanks! Hello Kieran, just a quick question. I am baking Wiebke’s famous Sacher-torte, and for the ganache – says the recipe – I need 150 g golden syrup.

Thanks, guys, for enlightening me! I was kind of surprised, because I've seen other sponsored ads come up with ice cream highlighted, but only their one with "Ice Cream Ireland," so maybe they are bidding on that term as well?

But as Richard says it's probably not directed at you personally. In adwords there are 4 levels of matching. # Broad match: ice cream will display ads on keywords similar to ice cream, like sundaes, icecream, ice lolly # Phrase match: "ice cream" Will only show up when they have the words, ice cream in their search, so "ice cream cake" will also show the ad # Exact match: [ice cream] will only display when someone has that search query, and that alone # Negative match: -sundae won't show up for when people type in any search for sundaes Paul Great to see your position in the SERPS come up.

# Broad match: ice cream
will display ads on keywords similar to ice cream, like sundaes, icecream, ice lolly

# Phrase match: “ice cream”
Will only show up when they have the words, ice cream in their search, so “ice cream cake” will also show the ad

# Exact match: [ice cream]
will only display when someone has that search query, and that alone

# Negative match: -sundae
won’t show up for when people type in any search for sundaes
