The Dynamic ad targets report displays the search terms entered by customers who then clicked on your dynamic search ads. Use this report to gain insight into the search terms that are driving traffic to your site by way of dynamic search ads.
Only dynamic targets that have lead to an ad impression appear in the report.
From the report, you can add negative keywords to prevent irrelevant searches from leading to clicks on your ads. Note that negative keywords prevent matches for both dynamic search ads and text ads.
You can also use the report to enhance your keyword-targeted ad groups. From the report, you can add new keywords to any ad group in the campaign. (Be sure to add text ads in the same ad group. Keywords only display text ads.)
