Keyword Order Question

Discussion in 'Keywords' started by kkibak, Nov 2, 2006.

    I was just working on something and started to wonder what would be a more common search out of the following two options:

    History of World War II
    or
    World War II History

    And, another example:

    Bald Eagle History
    or
    History of the Bald Eagle

    I know it doesn't make a HUGE difference, but I'd just like to know... anyone have any info ont his?

    You are going to be wanting to vary the keyword anchor text with all the terms included anyway, so I don't think it really matters.

    Thanks for the reply, but I'm not thinking of anchor text right now. Page titles, headers, that sort of thing is what I'm concerned with. My question has more to do with the order, which is important in the G results (you can see this by trying any two word search and then reversing the order and searching again).

    oh ok, i sometimes use wordtracker to determine correct keyword order. as im sure you know, overture tends to mix up the keyword order.

    yeah, it seems most tools do. i can't tell for sure, but it appears to me that the MSN adcenter research tools may help w/this. I'm not sure if the tool is just a little screwy, which wouldn't surprise me, but it does seem to give different results for even small variations like plurals.
