Reply with quote
Hello All,

I am working on optimizing a website and the main keyword is currently on the page with a '-' in it. I have searched Google for the term using both the "-" and without and google returns different amount of results. Specifically about 10,000 more when I do not use the hyphen. My question is when people are doing searches do you think they general use a '-' or not.

Thanks

Wordtracker reports that searches for "gluten free recipes" are much more common than searches for "gluten-free recipes".

Perhaps the same occurs with the phrase you have in mind. Perhaps not.

Why waste time guessing when you can find out by using Wordtracker?
