Stop words

Hello,

One of my KWs is Bed and Breakfast, but this has a stop word, will it matter and if it does what do I do?

Thanx

 

Forgive my ignorance, but which word are you worried about?

 

the word "and" is the stop word.

4get the engines, if you leave out the stop word you have "bed breakfast" if i wanted a "bed and breakfast" and seee that as the title i would think ur a moron who cant spell.

 

Thats what I wanted to hear!

PS I can't spell for shit!!

 

The phrase "stop word" is a misnomer, IMO. The word "and" may or may not be ignored in a search query but having it in a page title or elsewhere on the page isn't a bad thing at all and is not penalized.

There's another thread here in the Google forum with some thoughts about how Google seems to be treating such words these days - worth having a look at perhaps.

 

Hmmm. I was going to create a site about my wife's experiece with different types of scews like the #10 and was going to call it 'my wife and screws'. Now I changed my mind.

 

That's entirely different, Roman. In your case, I think Google will treat "screws" as a stop word.

What that means is that the only people who will find your site are people searching for your wife...

 

Thanks you changed my mind, with all the traffic I get I'll be rich.

mywifeandscrews.com comming soon

 

Thanks minstrel!
