Singular / Plural
-
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!
Jacob from Belgium

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.

Inserted H2's. Let's see.

Good suggestions. Will try that.

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
-
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 Jacob,
This clearly won't hurt your website / rankings. Try also to put some
once with "Sticker mural" and another time with "Stickers muraux".

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.

Moving/deleting blog
I have a website with a blog attached to it. It is a wordpress blog which we have not updated since 2013. However, it has a lot of pages going back to 2010. I am moving my website to weebly so I can't move my blog over. I could recreate all the posts and make redirects to the new url. However, the posts are old and outdated so it doesn't really make sense, aside from seo. I need advice. Would I take an seo hit if i start over with a blog and leave the old posts behind? Thanks!!!

The "100 links/page recommendation" - Do Duplicate Links Count?
We have way too many links on our homepage. The PageRank Link Juice Calculator (www.ecreativeim.com/pagerank-link-juice-calculator.php) counts them to 300. But all of them are not unique, that is some links point to the same URL. So my question: does the "100 links/page recommendation" refer to all anchors on the page or only to unique link target URLs? I know "100" is just a standard recommendation.

Will google see you bold/emphasis words if done in css?
We do not use header tags in our website. I understand bolding or emphsising words can be equally as effective but if done so in css will the google crawlers and spiders etc be able to put a weighted value on this style of code???
