Do I Optimize for the Term Big Butt or for the Term Big Butts?

[Bedtime Stories]

Or Both? How do you decide whether to go after the singular or the plural version of your key terms? Does it vary based on the search term, are people searching for big tits instead of big tit and big ass instead of big asses? I'm very confused with this because when you use overture's keyword tool it doesn't seem to distinguish between tit and tits, you get the same results when you type in either. However, you get very different search results if you type the singular and the plural into Google. So how do you know whether the singular or plural Is there a tool I should use besides overture for seeing which has more searches?

im not positive but from my own personal inquiries on search engines, its basically big butt would show up in results as big butts -- if you site was in the list as big butts you would still be seen.

When people search for Big Butts sites that are optimized for Big Butts will have a advantage and sites with only Big Butt will probably show lower in the ranking. (unless they have some very good incoming links etc.). So I would find out where more people are searching for and optimize for that keyword, but I would also add the other one together with some other related keywords in the content.

How do you find out if more people search for "big butt" or "big butts"? Overture does not differentiate between them, which service does?

clsunli you said it, if you optimize your site for big butts, then your site will be in big butts and big butt, but if you are optimized your site for big butt only then you lost some traffic through big butts.

I am always do three word keywords like butts, big butts, very big butts...

not always true, just do a search on big butt and big butts. Big butt is threated as a different keyword then big butts and the results are completely different.
