Greek SEO Menu Catecory Keywords with Lowercase or Hypercase? With tones or not?

[marioskal]

Hello to all,

Αs you know the Greek language is very special, wonderful but so difficult at the same time...!

The same difficulty i face when im trying to use the adwords keyword planner tool, to choose the wright words for a new menu category when i built new SEO for a new site.

I encounter a major problem with keywords who have the same meaning and some people use the right spelling and others use wrong spelling! I give you an example with word "κάρτα μνήμης"  who means in english "sd card".

In Greek language we have tones and we can wrote the word "κάρτα μνήμης" without a tones -> "καρτα μνημης" and without wright spelling and without tones at the same time -> "καρτα μνημησ".

Keyword planner give me another results for each word whatever it has the same meaning! ex. (καρτα μνημης = 0 clicks, κάρτα μνήμησ = 210 clicks and καρτα μνημησ = 2400 clicks!!!)

If i put the menu keywords with Hypercase you think that i am ok?

I wonder if  i use the wright spelling and orthography and i put them with Lowercase if I have a problem and didn't  take the full of clicks of all keywords with the same meaning!

I prefer for better design Lowercase's but if i have a problem with Seo i will change it!

Thanks,

Kalogeropoulos Marios

Mario, hello from Athens

The keyword planner tool has some peculiar functionality when it comes to Greek as you describe. Do not get fooled though - even though the tool has some issues, the google search engine itself has no problem knowing that toned and non toned greek characters are the same that that an σ and an ς are the same character (used in different cases).

So to answer your question - go with properly spelled and toned words and if you prefer lowercase then that is fine, you will not be losing out on potential traffic because of which 's' is used on the end of the words, but in the kw planner tool you will want to try all potential combinations of tones and sigmas to make sure you have the best idea of traffic patterns.

Hope it helps!
