    that probably just have a SEO reason. Because its even in the title, I bet they have some top5 position, no wait let me check: they are 7th result on the often used typo seach ( :D ) in google now. They would never had that with search :cool:

    I've optimized for some well lucrative misspellings and boy, do they pay off! Easy to get #1, tons of traffic.

    Maybe it's too early for me; but I didn't see a typo.

    Have you ever noticed their scroller on the tv screen? It's always got a typo or 2 or 3....

    And they don't use monkeys; but I believe they use interns for the menial stuff. The poor lowly college student who is dying to work there.

    monkey plural is monkeys

    It took me reading that title 3 times before i realized search was spelt in correctly, goes to show you, that you only need the fsirt lteter and the last ltteer in each word in right place and your brain can usually figure out the mdilde letters itself :).

    Can you make sure I've had enough coffee before transposing your letters? I'm more confused than ever. :p

    Merci, lorien1973, minkey plural is indeed minkeys :D As in 12 minkeys.

    flawebworks, I saw their typo 1st shot but couldn't spell minkies correctly. Twos up on that coffee, I think I need some too :)
