Google AdWords Product Manager, Jon Diorio, shared a tip – which he doesn’t do every day – on Google+ about pausing your keywords.
He said that before you pause your low converting keywords, make sure to check out click-assisted conversion and last click conversion metrics within your AdWords reporting. These low converting keywords may be assisting in the long term conversion and removing them may result in less overall conversions.
