How to work with the keyword list manager |
|
IBP allows you to manage multiple keyword lists. You can select your keyword lists in the popup menu in the upper part of the window. The small buttons next to the popup menu allow you to add new keyword lists, to duplicate and rename existing keyword lists and to remove keyword lists.
The keyword lists that you create in the keyword list manager are also available in the PPC manager in IBP. You can have as many lists as you want. The keyword lists are related to the project that you're working on.
