    Here is a question for you all. What way works best?

    "Strawberries - Best Fruits to eat for your body"

    or

    "Best Fruits to eat for your body - Strawberries."

    Where strawberries is the thing being featured in the article of "best fruits to eat for your body."

    thanks!

    The context the user is most likely to type in to the search box. Honestly, forget trying to twist phrases around to "weight" the first word etc. Exact phrase matching is where its at.

    If you explained the page, product or service to a dozen users and ask them what they would type to find your widget you will see a pattern.. Use it.
