For example, let's say I'm going for the key phrase "Make Money" and I have the phrase "Make More Money" throughout my website. Will having the word "More" in between my key phrase affect my search engine position for the key phrase "Make Money"? Or does Google only care that I have each individual keyword that makes up the phrase "Make Money" in my titles and throughout my content?
Yes, it does make a difference. If you type “make money†in google search and “make more money†in another search, you will different search results and the site that appear first in a search, does not appear in the another. Somehow I still don’t quite understand how the search algorithms works.
i dont think it will matter that much. it may effect your page rank by a few (between the "more" and the normal). though idk
