Hi

If you decide to target your page to the search phrase 'cheap widgets' - how do you decide whether to go for the keywords 'cheap' and 'widgets' OR 'cheap' and 'widget'

The problem is, the overture search tool only returns the singular word - even if you enter the plural

Also, google adwords - although it does return different results for singular and plural - is of no use when you are researching low frequency niche phrases - less than 200 searches a day and you just get the result 'zero'

I guess I could use adwords to research lots of different high frequency phrases - which will return results - whatever the conclusion, it seems realistic that the same principle will hold true on other phrases

What is the feeling on the board?
