If you're serious about search engine optimization, you will quickly
know or learn that misspellings account for a very large percentage
of the searches that are done by Surfers on a daily basis. Some misspellings
happen simply because the Surfer doesn't necessarily know the correct
spelling of the word or phrase that they search for. Hence, they may
for example search for "labtop" instead of "laptop",
or for "jamacia" instead of "jamaica". Other typos
happen simply because the searcher hit the wrong key. For example,
the "A" key is located directly to the left of the "S"
key on the keyboard, and so it's not impossible to see a mistake being
made in haste, such as "aoftware" being typed instead of
"software".
There are many smart SEOs out there generating optimized pages that
directly target these misspellings and typos. Our free misspelling
generator below takes the brain work out of creating a keyword list
of potential misspellings that you may want to target. It simply takes
your keyword or phrase and generates all possible combinations of
keyboard-driven typos.:
Simply type a word or phrase into the box below and click the "typo
it!" button to see all possible keyboard typo combinations. You can
then use your mouse to block and copy the text to your word processor
or spreadhseet.
Testament to the power of misspellings:
Some excerpts from a recent article
in the NY Times are featured below.
- Such is the eBay underworld of misspellers, where the clueless
— and sometimes just careless — sell labtop computers,
throwing knifes, Art Deko vases, camras, comferters and saphires
- One unofficial survey — an hour's search for creative
spellings — turned up dozens of items, including bycicles,
telefones, dimonds, mother of perl, cuttlery, bedroom suits and
loads of antiks. Contacted, the sellers were often surprised to
hear that they had misspelled their wares.
- Ms. Marshall, who lives in Dallas, said she knew she was
on shaky ground when she set out to spell chandelier. But instead
of flipping through a dictionary, she did an Internet search for
chandaleer and came up with 85 or so listings. She never guessed,
she said, that results like that meant she was groping in the
spelling wilderness. Chandelier, spelled right, turns up 715,000
times
