How would you do it? When you create a store page, you can specify its parent category (page), but it can be only one. Unless I don't get something. Thank you, Mik<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3529','Mik'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3529','Mik','Hello Mark,\r\n\r\nYou mentioned a couple of times using one product page for two category pages, I think it was \"kitchen country curtains\" or \"country kitchen curtains\" - one or another.

I always try to make the term sound like someone would say it... but include the individual terms to draw the KEI term as well.

You say to reorder the search term to make sense, but I've always learned to use the search term exactly as it appears in wordtracker, since that exact phrase is what the data returned is based on. For example, 'card credit terminal' doesn't make nearly as much sense as 'credit card terminal' but when you reorder the search term and look at the numbers, they are much less profitable (obviously lots of people optimize pages for the 'proper' term.) I guess my question is, is wordtracker just wrong about the original phrase or are we wrong to try to 'clean it up'? Are there really the number of people searching for a goofy, weirdly-ordered term that wordtracker says? If so, it seems like it might be better to optimize for the goofy term ... but I guess we have to balance that against having a lot of strange pages on the site!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3493','Josh'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3493','Josh','Interesting Mark.

It was really helpful in planning strategy for the long-term. Question - you say to then get links to these product pages. Are you using directories for these pages also or are you using a different method for your deep linking? Also, if putting plurals in the meta tags is not important, does it make any difference whether we use a singular or plural in the domain name? For instance, you used the singular for your golf site but most people would be buying more than one. What should be the thought process on singular vs plural in domain selection? Thanks.
