Keyword advice, please!

If your best exact match keyword is really bad english, which you can't incorporate in a sentance, how would you get round this.

For instance, nobody puts the word "the" in a search so, Keyword "cat urinating in house", I would prefer to use "cat urinating in the house"

Is this the short coming of using exact match keywords?

    This is me going back to basics after people on the forum helped me to see a mistake I was making with exact match keywords.

    So i'm hoping to get it right this time.

      I'd like to know about this too. I've done some SEO freelance writing, and when I have to use EMK it makes me cringe. Nothing like writing an article about Greeting Cards Christmas with no leeway to change the words around. Makes for a terrible article. I'm curious about this too though because I'm working toward some SEO content for a client.

        Hi Farmgirl, I'm glad it's not just me that cringes at bad use of english caused by keywords.

        As you see it in articles regularly maybe there is no work around?

    How are you finding the long tail keywords? I would use Googles keyword external tool and search using exact match to see if they at least get some search volume.

    Usually if you can rank for the core keyword without "the" , "and" , Google will usually rank you for different variations of the long tail keyword as well...
