Hi, I've have been recently searching and searching for low competition, high demand keywords on the niche of my preference. Finally, I've found what I think is a pretty good keyword to target, it has around 250,000 Monthly worldwide searches, and around 12,000 USA monthly searches (according to google adwords keyword tool, November 2011). When I type the keyword in google with quotes ("keyword") it only finds around 6,000 results. And the best of all, I've found available a .com domain with exactly my keyword (ex. keyword.com). For the protection of my possible website plan, I'm not letting know the keyword I'm targeting. Instead, I'm using the word "keyword". It seems pretty good, but there is a catch. The keyword I'm targeting is actually a misspelled word. My keyword consists in two words, the first one is missing the first letter. I've found by mistake that a lot of people commit the same typo and search for the misspelled keyword I'm considering to target. I've read some basic stuff about targeting misspelled words but I'm not sure if it's a good thing to do or not. I read that having misspelled keywords in your content can really lower the trust factor of your site and negatively impact the user-experience. But, in my favor, the misspelled word I'm targeting, means a whole different thing and it will not be considered a misspell at all!. for example, "share" and "hare" are totally different words, If my keyword were "hare hosting" the word "hare" will be something that describes the next word (not sure if it is an adverb, i hate grammar). Hare is a rabbit or something related. Its different from targeting the word "morgage" instead of "mortgage", I think that in the 2nd example, the lower of the trust factor applies, but not in the first one. Another thing in my favor is that when people search for the keyword I'm targeting, google doesn't show up any "did you mean" link or something related. what should I do?
on the misspelled word, its still better to focus on the correct spelling after all the misspelled work can also be targeted using the correct one. on the link problem maybe the site hasn't been index yet reason why it can't display the web page, try to check the cache if its indexed.
thanks for your suggestion first of all. Actually, I'm not interested to target the correct spelled keyword, because is a extremely high competition keyword with about 11,000,000 results using the quotas "". it would be impossible to rank for this keyword without spending a fortune in advertising and promoting first.
It's best to target keywords that are correctly spelled as search engines automatically correct these and offer the corrected words to users. There's also the problem of your articles. How will you optimize your article with a misspelled keyword? I suggest you do a bit more market research and find out what other keywords are used in the niche you're in. Find long tail variations of that keyword that has less competition. Hope that helps. Have a good day!
that depends affiilorama, because my website plan is not about a blog. I'm not going to write articles on it. Thanks for the suggestion of long tail keywords, I'll give a look.
