    Im setting up a site selling computer monitors.

    The problem is I dont know which keyword should i optimize for?
    One with the inches symbol or one without?

    example: 21" monitor

    From any keyword list I search, I will never find the " in the list.
    You can only find keyword - 21 monitor

    But 21 monitor does not make sense.

    I tried searching for both keyword
    21" monitor
    21 monitor

    and google returns the same result.

    So should I go ahead and just use

    21" monitor as an anchored link?

    Go with the number only. Some people may search 21 inch, that is kind a popular term too.

    Could you use the one variation in the link anchor and the other in the popup title for the link?

    Lets look at an example....

    1. Search for the term bat 21 on Google.

    2. Now, open another browser window and search for the next term bat 21".

    What do we notice? Almost identical search results, showing us that Google gives major relevancy to both search terms. Now, if you search bat 21 inches you'll get completely different results. The question is which search results show relevancy to the topic of your website. ;)

    Don't forget to check search volumes\trends at http://trends.google.com
