Placing Quotes on Keywords
Will placing quotes on keywords affect your search engine ranking for that keyword in some way?
For example, my keyword is acupuncture, or a keyword phrase acupuncture therapy. In my sentences, I'll make a sentence with that keyword or keyword phrase included, but it is ENCLOSED with quotes, or even parenthesis, e.g. "acupuncture", "acupuncture therapy", (acupuncture). Will search engines still recognize it as keywords?
The reason I ask is because the punctuation mark and the keyword is joined and search engines might not recognize it as a word, no?
Not only that, in HTML tags, I do the following <strong>“acupuncture therapy”</strong>. Because I read that using strong or em tags is good for keywords, but I'm including the quotes (notice that I use HTML equivalent of "). Is that no good?
In other words, are all punctuation marks treated as invisible by search engines, even when the marks are JOINED with the keyword?
