Onpage optimization different outcomes for keyword with or without accent

[svenmu]

I am a little bit confused with the results of the onpage analysis. I am trying onpage optimization for a spanish word which has an accent.. The results differ from Grade A, if i use the keyword with an accent, e.g. ropa premamá (the spanish word for maternity wear) to Grade C if I run the report without the accent ropa premama.

I assume that most users will rather search for the keyword without accent. Would this mean that I need to change my keyword to non-accent or doesn´t it matter?

I'm not a pro at foreign language SEO but I just used Google's keyword tool to find out that ropa premamá gets 260 exact matches and ropa premama gets 9900 exact matches.  I personally would change the keyword to the non accent version simply on a keyword basis.

On a side-note, there was a great MOZinar last week on Foreign Language SEO.  Might be something worth taking the time to look at. http://www.seomoz.org/webinars/foreign-language-seo
