Google historically treated words like children + childrens differently...
The reason they do this is that if you search for Apple va Apples - you are 'generally' searching for two different things: Apple (the computer company) vs Apple (fruit)
It's similar logic (computer algorithm wise) that there is a difference between childrens and children's
Does this make sense ?
[p.s. The best place for these questions moving forward is on the 30DC Forum]
kidding of course..but if you use the google adwords tool and just type in 'childrens'...you'll see quite a few responses where the improper spelling is listed...such as 60K plus searches for the keywords childrens music...
The Tools Menu has now changed but there is a helpful link in the left hand menu.

Hi Pete
Johnny Wimbrey says that he considers himself a very talented individual because he can spell several words several different ways.
His definition of being illiterate is only being able to spell a word one way!!!!!!

Children is plural so there is no word= childrens. Possessive is children's.
If we choose "childrens" in keywords, do we get views for "children's" searches?

I'm a good speller - does that mean I'll be a poor internet marketer?
