    Hello !
    I run a tech blog, success is starting to show up. No I don't have to worry about getting backlinks, readers get them for me.
    But I am not a native american/english man , so a few grammar mistakes might appear in my content, as I write it on my own.
    How is this thing looking in google's eyes?
    Consider arround 5-6 mistakes on a 500-600 article.

    Regards.

    Google don't really care about spelling and grammar mistakes; your readers do.

    You may even be able to rank for some typos :p

    Google isn't the spelling police.

    Google doesn't care about grammer... but readers do. A site riddled with mistakes in grammer appear to users as unprofessional.

    Buy Microsoft Word or some other word processor w/ a grammer and spelling checker. Write your copy using the word processor. And then once you're done with the copy and correcting all of the mistakes, transfer it to your blog.

    Google may not "care" about your spelling mistakes, but it will certainly take them into consideration. If you spell "Onslaught", "Onslought", you're not going to be seeing any traffic for people searching for that game, unless of course they typo as well, but that's not exactly a good market strategy.
