    Default does ' make a difference in a keyword?

    Hi I just wonder if ' makes a difference in a keyword or anchortext? Will google 'rank' it as 2 different keywords?

    For example Ben's and Bens.

    No,google would ignore your apostroph. Its the same Keyword for Google.
    U can use it,but Google grab it out of your content and change it to the most searched "keyword" / alternate spelling .

    I hope you understand what I'm trying to explain.

    Regards

    I think, I get it. I have heard that two identical anchortexts not are good to use for the same domain when you are creating a linkexchange for example. I heard you should use different anchortexts for same domain. But you can use your domainname a couple of times as a anchortext or keyword. So google see Ben's Freespins and Bens Freespins as the same anchortext?

    The apostrophe makes no difference whatsoever in this situation Google would just count it as either one keyword or anchor text. Depending on what you choose.

    Lets say I want to make a linkexchange and want to use the anchortext Freespins to my link. The person adding my link on his webpage by misstake write anchortext Freespins. Will the "." make a difference? Or will google ignore the point. Is it the same Keyword for Google? Or should the person who added my anchortext change the keyword to Freespins without a point (.)?

    The problem you really need to address is doing link exchanges in the first place.

    I agree. I never do link exchanges.

    Link exchanges (with anchor text) endanger your website. Google is becoming more and more adept at punishing websites that use them.

    Leave that to big SEO companies that have lots of blogs, websites, lots of customers, and so on. They are the only ones who can do that really well.

    It's the same for Google.

    Variations in the writing of a keyword (spelling errors, plural, feminine, adding hyphens, variations of punctuation elements. use of synonyms, etc ) worked very well with Google in the past. Now, and particularly since the introduction of Semantic Search, it does not work anymore.

    Read this article written in the Search Engine Journal in September:
