# Negative keywords from n-gram search terms

Adalysis will alert you to potential negative keywords from your[ n-gram](https://docs.adalysis.com/manage/search-terms/search-term-tools#n-gram-analysis) search term data. You'll see the alerts on your **Audit alerts** screen, with separate notifications for Search and Shopping campaigns.

{% hint style="success" %}
By default, the alert based on zero conversions and more than 150 clicks in the last 90 days. However, you can edit these thresholds under **Audit > Audit settings** > **Prebuilt** > **Search terms.**
{% endhint %}

### **Add search terms as negative keywords**

To add an n-gram search term as a negative keyword, select it and click **Add as negative keyword**. You can also add n-gram search terms in bulk by selecting them all at once.&#x20;

You can modify the keyword text and other parameters before creating your new negatives. For Search campaigns, Adalysis will flag any potential conflicts with your existing (positive/regular) keywords.&#x20;
