Singular / Plural

[Jacobe]

Hi SEOmoz staff

I'm doing on a French website that sells Wall Stickers. The main French keyword therefore is:

• stickers muraux (wall stickers)
• sticker mural (wall sticker)

When you look at my homepage title; I've put the singular and plural in there. Do you think it hurts my website? Should I eliminate my least favorite one (= sticker mural)?

Any other advice?

Thank you!

Hi Jacob,

it's a good ideal to put the plural and singular version in the title and won't hurt your website. Like that you cover both versions and it can be indeed a difference in the search results if you write the word in singular or in plural version.

You always have to take care that it don't look to spamy not to scare off the users but your title looks fine to me.

Hi Jacob,

This clearly won't hurt your website / rankings. Try also to put some

once with "Sticker mural" and another time with "Stickers muraux".

Google is getting better and better at recognizing that singluar and plural are related terms but it can never hurt to have both versions as long as both are relevant to your site.

Hi Petra

Thanks for your feedback. I got worried because Google bolds the plural and singular keywords when searching for e.g. plural (stickers muraux). Usually I go with plural but in French the singular is not just -s

Good suggestions. Will try that.

Julich. I've added the tags and I got onto page 1, position 8. I've been building links as well but this might have added value. Thanks for the suggestion.
