"I have no idea how many people type in this one word for a drink recipe as opposed to information on our area however we start off on unequal ground.
Let's assume it's 50/50. We have to run at a CTR of 2% to get 1%. Makes it kind of tough when we also are promoting a business that will only appeal to a small percentage of the searchers for our area. "
Tropical Island - given the above scenario, I wonder what would happen if you were to change the keyword from exact to phrase, and then gave it one of the world's most finest list of negative keywords?

Just a thought. I wouldn't be suprised if you've already tried this.
In either case, I wish you success.
