valentine+keyword help

Discussion in 'Keywords' started by obenix, Feb 1, 2006.

    I'm targeting a keyword for the coming Valentine's Day (may be a little late though :D) but I don't know which to choose:
    [1] valentine+keyword
    [2] valentines+keyword

    When I did a search on Google for [1] & [2], I get different sets of results.
    Which keyword should I target?

    I'd say "valentine's+keyword" personally. It's proper English and you'll be able to think of more keywords and phrases to go after.

    I would go with "valentines". I don't think alot of people will punctuate in their search.

    Thank you smetten,

    So if you target Dutch customers, this is good to know as well.

    Cheers
