SEO + URL + apostrophe = ? should I encode or remove the apostrophe?
If some half ass weak non-porn seo term has an apostrophe in it and I'm using it in the URL should I encode so that I can use the ' or should I just remove it from the URL?

remove the apostrophe. and when you have traffic on the urls with apostrophe than use a 301 redirection.
