Anchor Text Phrases: Can you get 2 for 1?

[AshShep1]

Using a phrase such as "Compare Car Insurance Quotes" as the anchor text, will google count that phrase as an exact much as well as the shorter version "Compare Car Insurance" or is it only the full phrase?

I assume also that keyword phrases on the page will count as 2 for 1 as google will just look at the set of words and use both phrases?

Thoughts?

Hi Ash,

I have been able to accomplish this with several websites. Basically if you go for the plural version you will also improve the rankings for the singular version. Here is an example.

We wanted to rank a clients website under "Barrios Privados" and "Barrio Privado". You will likely rank first for the plural version and then for the singular version.

Good luck.
