Hey Jason. Good question. The answer is yes… and no.

Google definitely knows “running” & “runner” are different words. But it will often bold “runner” in the SERPs even if the user searched for “running”. That’s because it’s also smart enough to know that those words are related.

For a related discussion, check out my guest post at Science for SEO, http://www.scienceforseo.com/guest-posts/seo-copywriting-is-dead-here%E2%80%99s-proof/.

Hey Glenn,
I notice Wordle only highlights instances of exact words. Does this differ to the way search engines actually operate? For example the words run,
running, runner would be recognised once each by Wordle. Would a search engine apply greater logic and recognise these three words as being related?

Hey Glenn,

Great site. I’m going to buy your book. This topic was new to me and provided an extremely suprising look into the content on my site. Words that I thought I had optimized for didn’t even show in the cloud.

Thanks,
Brian

HA! Wonder how many people would think it appropriate if I started ranking for that!

I like how “crap” was a fairly prominent word in that cloud :-)
