Love this post! I saw the slides a few days ago, now I'm going to watch the video. Thank you for continuing to educate about negative keywords.
Here is a video I put together for mining campaign negative keywords from your AdWords search query report--can be really helpful if you have a large account.

I'm going to have to watch this tomorrow. I learned my negative keywords the hard way, paying for worthless clicks :( I have no idea why Google defaults to "broad match" searches other than to get more money from people before they realize the search phrase "tennis shoes" is showing up when people search for "tennis courts."

Yes, I'm sure they make a pretty penny off those people who aren't paying attention to what triggers their ads!
