Pause All Keywords With No Impressions

Let's start with a very simple script. This one will find all of the keywords in your account that has never had an impression, and pause (or delete if you see the comment below) that keyword so that it will not negatively impact your quality score. According to Google, the longer something sits in your account and stagnates, the greater the impact to your quality score. As a reader pointed out, the fourth bullet here seems to contradict this statement. This would be a great script to schedule every few months to make sure you are trimming all the dead weight from your accounts.

Thanks,
Russ
