If you do a general search on Google with a Greek keyword, it will return results for both the accented and non-accented work.
If you do your search such as ... ++"keyword in here" - then it will search for exactly the keyword/s you types in and include the accent in the search.
For example -
Google search for ξενοδοχεια ( Hotels ) without the accent
Search term - ++"ξενοδοχεια"
http://www.google.gr/search?hl=el&q=...83%CE%B7&meta=
Results - 437.000
Google search for ξενοδοχεία ( Hotels ) with the accent
Search term - ++"ξενοδοχεία"
http://www.google.gr/search?hl=el&q=...83%CE%B7&meta=
Results - 3.390.000
To check for which version is better, I prefer to use Yahoo. If you do a search in Yahoo for a non-accented Greek word, you will find a lot less number of results that you would for an accented Greek keyword. |
Yes, this is exactly what I noted above [i get less serps in google.gr for the non-accented version]

If the domain you want to reg is available both with and without the accent, it would be wise to register both versions.
Hope this is of some help.

Thanx. I was considering getting both. You've confirmed what I was thinking. Accents = more serps but less type in.
thanx
