Keyphrase / Keyword arrangement

[wtfi]

Hi all,

What are your thoughts on the arrangement of keyphrases / words? For example, does it make a difference if the words are arranged in the following way:

"Keyword 1 Keyword 2"

or

"Keyword 2 Keyword 1"

Both ways make a phrases which is favourable in the search engines. Can I stick with 1 way or should I be going with both arrangements.

Hope that is clear

Hey Brett,

Try this recent post on Searcher Intent:

I would say arrange for how it makes sense for users/searchers and not necessarily for search engines at all. Look to the audience and you'll be on target IMO.

Hope this helps!

I try and get as many keywords in one keyword as possible.

"Dog's tasty chews" has "Dog's tasty chews"* and "tasty chews"

"Tasty chews for dogs" has "Tasty chews for dogs", "tasty chews" and "chews for dogs".

The first one only has 1 variant that is "dog specific"* to the product (chews), the second has 2.  I don't put an adjective after a noun, the word "for" keeps cropping up in my keyword research as being useful.

I go for singular (people aren't looking to buy your whole stock just one item from it).

"Piano" 450,000 Global exact match, low competition.

"Pianos" - 27,100 GEM high competition

Awesome!
