Rank for Keywords Using Misspelled Words
by Frank Jovine on 05/22/2009 in SEO Tips
We all make the same mistakes with the spelling of certain words. It’s not because we don’t know better, it’s more of a bad habit in your keyboard navigation. The brain sometimes never knows when to quit.
Today, many domain brokers register commonly misspelled words to leverage traffic from its corrected counterpart.
You can apply this practice to dominate a commonly misspelled word to gain keyword dominance.
I have compiled a list of words that are used in many search terms and are words that are commonly misspelled.
Amature – Misspelled.
Amateurs need not be mature: this word ends on the French suffix -eur (the equivalent of English -er). I know what you’re thinking, this would be great for porn searches, and if you have a porn site it would work very well. But it can also be useful for amature radio, amature bands, amature baseball, etc. I think you’re getting my point.
Collectable – Misspelled.
Collectible is another -ible word and a word often misspelled. This is a great keyword to use. It can be used for collectable baseball cards, collectable cars, collectable art, etc.
Equiptment – Misspelled.
In fact this word is misspelled on the web over 22 thousand times! This is another great keyword that can be used for many things such as; stereo equiptment, football equiptment, video equiptment, etc.
Jewelery – Misspelled.
This is another fantastic keyword for those in the selling or trade of jewelry. Here are a few keywords you can use; fine jewelery, used jewelery, cheap jewelery, etc.
There are many, many more commonly misspelled words that you can use for keywords. You can visit the site below to get a full list of the 100 most often misspelled words. http://www.yourdictionary.com/library/misspelled.html

John,
It really works if you find that word that’s commonly misspelled and is hardly indexed.

I have tried this for Hindi language words. There are 2-3 popular spellings for a same word and traffic is almost equally distributed.
Thanks for ‘Your Dictionary’ link, will explore that one.

I actually hate it when I accidentally make a typo and end up somewhere strange on the web. I think big companies especially should figure out the common misspellings of their name and product and try to take them over early on.

This may be a silly question, but . . . does Google treat misspelled keywords exactly like correctly spelled keywords? Or does Google somehow “know” they are misspelled?

Yes. They will still index regardless. You can test it for yourself.
