    When it comes to SEO, content is important. And good, quality content is all about presenting your information in a clear, concise and interesting manner. It's also about having good spelling and grammar techniques. If you take a close look at the websites at the top of Google's search results, they all have one thing in common - good, quality content with almost zero spelling and grammar errors.

    This is something that you should be aware of.

    I'll agree with the spelling -- Google won't rank you well for words that you misspell.

    The grammar is another issue. Google doesn't care. However, other sites DO care, and are more likely to link to you if your content is presented well. If you get more links, you rank higher.

    Not true. Google does care. Google uses textual analysis to determine the quality of writing and that can affect ranking.

    But will rank you for the misspelled word. It is not Google, it is the users that perform search queries. if users perform search queries for grammatically correct words more than for misspelled, then use grammatically correct words.

    ranking is depend on the user queries so therefore,, grammar and wrong spelling has no quiet big deal for SE.. it still for onpage structure and good result of off page. IMO.

    I think, whether google cares about it or not, why will we make spelling or grammer mistakes anyway?

    its not good for any site, as atleast users coming to your site will not like it :)

    First hand experience, they do care about spelling and grammar. In researching which pages get indexed and which ones don't a majority of the time we find errors in spelling or grammar in the tags or description for non-indexed pages.

    When we had a few errors on the top of the apparel category we lost many of the products contained within which came back when the errors were cleaned up.
