question about keywords

[patrix]

I wonder if you should to add phrases or just keywords.

For example, should I add keywords like:
spaceships, spaceship game, spaceship games

or

spaceships, spaceship, game, games

?

Just keywords and remove the spaces after comma as every character counts...

Do you really need to add the plural as well? Wouldn't the keyword "spaceship" count as a hit when searching "spaceships"? Does anyone know?

If I search for "sand", the list contains a "sandwich" app, and I have the first keyword set as sand! Plurals with 100 characters (minus commas) should not normally be used I would say. I think the whole search algorithm is sales based more than keywords.


...edit, wow I just typed the complete app name "BubbleSand" and it still doesn't show in the list! Keywords are the least of our problems unfortunately.

Phrases work as well, and yes adding plurals makes a difference.

Ok my issue is resolved today, thank you.

Surprised to hear anyone would say plurals make a difference! Guess it depends on the topic, e.g. A game about more than one Lotus - Lotii,lotus',lotuses,lotus's... Gotta presume all cases with something like that, sure.

Nope, plurals do matter...
