Google states that 10% of all searches made on Google are mistyped or misspelled. Keyword search term “googl†receives 42,797 hits per month! http://jakeldaily.com/misspelled-words-in-search-engines/
So, I should incorrectly spell words on my site for 10% of the search market when I'm getting even more than that now?
The incorrect spelling of "Googl" receives over 43,000 hits per month. If you were to say able to get indexed for that key term and receive just 10% of that traffic that would be 4300 hits per month off just one article. Get the picture, so over a site's lifetime of getting index and from time getting indexed for an incorrect spelling with a high traffic rate can significantly increase your overall traffic -regardless if you are already receives 300,000 + hits per month or even a day.
I experienced that.. i got a wrong posting into title at my blog... and a lot of traffic come... but that's an accident...
That's correct people actually buy misspelled domains. Check Walmart domain they also on the domain Wallmart because some many people misspell the name. - It just makes since. SERP for misspelled words will only bring in more traffic and how is that bad.
If you are advertising, with adwords or yahoo's search marketing, you can make your ads show on misspelled keywords too - this way you get more traffic, and I think they cost less - as less advertisers bid on them. I even made a tool that creates misspelled versions of keywords: http://www.directoryreport.info/mistakes/
Yeah but out of those 10% how many click on the suggestion by Google: "Did you really mean Google?" (when you type Googl). 9 times out of 10 when I mis-spell I will click on Google's recommendation.
The incorrect spelling of "Googl" receives over 43,000 hits per month. Some one actually purchased the domain for that spelling and used it for the traffic it receives. http://jakeldaily.com/are-you-mad-at-googl/
I think that a substantial portion of what is considered a misspelled word/name actually is not. Obviously, 'Googl', 'accomodation' and 'agressive' are misspelled and would be instantly noticed by Google. Misspelled compound nouns of which each of the nouns is spelled correctly, often go unnoticed. For example, should I write 'coffeebreak', 'coffee-break' or 'coffee break'?
Best approach of getting traffic from Misspelled keywords is putting them on Meta Keywords. I get some traffic that way also.
Yes it is true you can get traffic from misspelling in your meta tags but not for Google since they do not recognize them. It's only Yahoo and Ask to my knowledge that does.
