I would like such a feature also. I think what he means is, something
like the Campaign Negative Keywords in AdWords. E.g. if you make
raincoats, you want to be found on searches for "mac" but not searches
for "mac os x", "mac computer", "mac software", etc.

You may be right, I hadn't thought about how/whether it could be
implemented. But I read the original request as addressing a similar
problem, as opposed to wanting an (infinitely long) list of all
nonmatching keywords.
Feasible or not, tho, I would appreciate such a capability. Not just
as a webmaster but as a searcher, I think it would make life easier.

Hi everyone
Just so that I understand you all correctly, this list of negative
keywords is not something that Webmaster Tools would provide, but
rather something that you would provide, is that correct? I think
that's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure if it would be something
that would be feasible.
Are you currently having trouble that your site is showing up for
searches where you don't want to be found? If so, it would be great if
you could start a thread in the crawling, indexing & ranking sub-group
here so that we could look at it!
Thanks John. Speaking for myself, yes that's what I meant. A way for
a webmaster to specify negative keywords/phrases.
I don't think it has to be site level, page level would work as well.
I don't mean to specify an implementation here, but just for example,
say you defined a new "NegativeKeywords" meta tag for specifying
keywords/phrases which, if used in the search, would get the page
dropped from the results - if it would otherwise be included.
Or anything that accomplishes the same thing.
I will leave the posting a new thread to someone else, tho. I don't
have enough ambiguous keywords to qualify as a real issue for my site.
