Google and plural keywords

how are plurals indexed?

[tim3562]

I registered a decent keyword domain in plural form.

example: widgets.com

will it show up under widget too?
how does google handle this?

thanks everyone, I learn a lot from this forum

Plurals are treated as different words. You can still rank well for the singular version by getting incoming links with the singular word as anchor text(ie. <a href="page.html">Widget</a>).

thanks Birdman.

Remember that if keyword in domain does count for anything, it is just a part of the algo. Thus, you can do well for "widget" if you use the singular a lot on the page.

You might also want to work both the singular and plural versions of the word into your page title, if possible.
