    Are these keywords considered the same?

    new york tours
    newyork tours
    new york tour
    newyork tour
    tours new york
    tour new york
    tours newyork
    tour newyork

    basically, does adding an "s", flipping around the phrase and adding/removing spaces considered the same by Google/Yahoo/MSN?

    Should I have all those variations in my Meta Tags, or is it considered Duplication and could get me penalized?

    Expert advice wanted please... don't just answer if you're unsure!

    Thank you :rolleyes:

    They are definitely not all counted as the same keyword - Google them and you will see some very different results

    It's a FACT. They are considered as a totally different keywords. For example: if your keyword is "toys" you qualify only for "toys" and not for "toy".

    Yes! adding/replacing spaces, as you have mentioned, will only consider as a different key word. you can make search on Google and check it out! :)

    They are all different keywords as the search engine will recognize each as individual keywords.
