hi, I want to know whether there is difference if i target Singular keywords like purse instead of plural like purses so i want to know if i am targeting purse so i have to write my content with keyword purse or it will work for "purses" keyword also
offcourse there is difference between singular and plural keywords.because if you search two different keywords like silk flower and silk flowers you will get different result.
Yes, having the exact words is better. I rank differently for 'Popular Screensaver' than 'Popular Screensavers' and both bring different amounts of traffic.
yes, there is difference between one word search term and two word search terms. both will give different serp
There is no difference for singular or plural on yahoo but it make difference in Google. So its depend on you.
No, you're wrong. Singular/Plural keywords are different for all search engines. Car and Cars = they are two different words. 1-There were too many CAR 2- There were too many CARS. SE's are smart, they will give you different results for singular and plural keywords, just like the example I gave you!
Yes Zafar is correct they will be treated differently, if both Singular/Plural keywords terms are relevant, optimize them both.
Singular and pural are the same when used pural as keywords and with a difference of only "s" or "es". If the spelling changed, then these are two different keywords. For more info refer http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=12313973#post12313973
Deciding whether to use the singular or plural form of your keywords is a balancing act. It is because search engines seldom rank you the same for both singular and plural. And, there is often a difference in search volume, and a difference in the amount of competition between singular and plural. However, the best result I got was when I've used both forms equally distributed on a given page.
It depends on which search engine you target. In google you can be on first page for plural and not at all for singular.
You should only use the plural and google will extract the singular from it, but you need to have some anchors (singular form) pointing at your site. it does work for me cheers !
If you take a look at google search tool, you will find different results for both singular & plural keywords. If you look for 'business card' you'll get some result that differs from the search 'business cards'. Search engines are smart enough to distinguish them. To get rid of the scenario I would suggest you to use both keywords equally on ur website, maintain good ratio and you get better result for both search keywords.
