Search Engine Traffic From Misspelled Keywords

I was checking google analytics stats for one of my blogs, and I was very surprised to see around 15 unique visitors/day traffic coming from Google searched for a specific keyword search. You’d say what’s surprising about this? It was for a 3 word misspelled keyword phrase.

I went right away to my blog post to check the misspelled words, but couldn’t find the misspelled words neither on my post title nor in the post. Then I see a comment from a user with the misspelled keyword phrase.

I have heard so many things about bringing traffic from search engines with misspelled keywords. In fact many many famours domains have all the misspelled versions trying to bring some extra traffic. Now I can see the reason why people spend time and money working on misspelled keywords.

So, if you are doing SEO within a very high competitive niche, it’d be smart to play with misspelled keywords (at least add a few landing pages). I know it may not be very white hat SEO, but if SE traffic is very important for you, it’s something you should try.

Wanted to post about my experience, maybe I should start misspelling when I write (hint hint).
