Hi Guys, I'm puzzled, how come i am listed on Google UK on keyboards that are not spelt correctly such as the following: free mesages free text mesages where it should be MESSAGES instead of MESAGES. I have gone over all my keywords in the meta and also the content and i do not see anywhere on my site the word MESAGES but i do see a lot of MESSAGES. How come google has listed my site in miss-spelt keywords? Thanks, Michael Walmsley
Google know mesages and messages are the same. The reason why you show up (I assume in a better rank) in mesages is maybe because someone linked to your site with anchor text "Mesages something"? Just a thought.
did you check to see your site has a typo? if you can find out the common typo for popular words/keywords, then it is lot easier to seo those words and still get some good traffic. i would not complain if my site was showing under wrong spelling
Look at the words and image names at your site. Most probably a misstype, but if it brings some good traffic, why change? You won't get ranked top for high comp words like free messages without extensive SEO work.
Quite funny to say, sometimes I mispell words in permalinks on purpose sometimes. You will be surprised how some people type mispellings. Let's say for instance I had a blog post by the name of "Learn Search Engine Optimization". I would then change my permalink to "learn_search_engine_optimisation". It's just a little tactic. So be proud sometimes of this, because it equates in higher ranks for some "mispelled" keywords Jeff
These are called Typo Keywords.. You don't need to worry much about them. Normally they don't harm your normal listing and you might also get some traffic from them.
