seo for a singular domain as opposed to plural?

cecilio · 04-01-2011, 04:11 AM

I have a domain and the plural 's' version is working well, but it does not rank well (or indeed at all) when you search for the singular version of the same word.

Can anyone suggest what seo i might do to correct this please.

For example the site is "ibrochures" works very well in a search for "ibrochures" but NOT in a search for "ibrochure"

Is it just a seo issue, do i need to set up a second version of the domain with the singular address (will a redirect of this to the other site help)

I always thought if I set it up for plural the other would follow suit and also work.

Any ideas appreciated.

Ad a sub-page that has the singular form ONLY in the url

ibrochures(dot)com/ibrochure/

set up a auto redirect to the homepage (so you dont have to write more content)

and then backlink to that page with the singular form

That way you dont have to fight to have both keywords on one page and have your linkjuice you already earned divided in half

All the best,

I suggest the singular version if you can get it.In this way You will be able to rank for the singular easier.
