“I said get Ping-Pong Balls!”

Today I am going to be talking about misspellings and how they can boost your search engine traffic.

I tend to write quickly, this often means that a few spelling errors get through the net, but I have learned over the years that sometimes it can be best to NOT fix the spelling errors.

What???

That’s right, at times, a misspelled word can bring more traffic than the original word.

Why is that???

It is based on two universal factors:

1) Poorly words are easier to rank for, this is because they have less competition

2) We all misspell words

There are a group of people called “Black Hat SEOs” who use these two universal laws to their advantage. They use scripts to misspell words, and they get tons of traffic without doing much promotion.

I accidentally spelt a word incorrectly last month, and I had a ton of traffic every week for that poorly spelt word.

However, a quick word of warning from our lawyers: If you want to seem professional, then you should always use a spell check and ensure there are no errors.

On that note:

So let’s finish with a nice little poem about spell checkers. By the way, this poem gets through a spell checker perfectly without any errors, so don’t believe everything they tell you:

Eye halve a spelling chequer

It came with my pea sea

It plainly marques four my revue

Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word

And weight four it two say

Weather eye am wrong oar write

It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid

It nose bee fore two long

And eye can put the error rite

Its rarely ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it

I am shore your pleased two no

Its letter perfect in it’s weigh

My chequer tolled me sew.
