Misspelling Keywords

I just received some spam email saying that misspelled keywords can bring in more customers. I understand the basis of this, seeing that there is a percentage who will either type keywords too fast or just spell it wrong.

Has anyone tried this with some success... and without making your website look wrong? (if that's possible with all the misspellings)

it's very, very rarely worth it.

the price that you pay for the visitors that DO find the page is much too high in my opinion.

It depends on what keywords and the market (english or non-english) you are aiming for. If you considdered that there is allot less competition for misspelled words and it often happens that people make a spelling error, it can deliver a fair amount of targetted traffic. Do not focus just on misspelled words though.

I've had very good success with mispelled keywords. I even own domain names that are the mispelled version of the keyword, and pointed it to a legitimite site that is targeting that keyword. It has been very effective for us.

A few years ago we set up a site for a client who was a dealer for one of those diet formulas. The real product and official site name included the word "Collegen" - we'll call it collegendrink.com. We set up a sales site for our client and use several domains that were misspellings - colegendrink.com, collagendrink.com, callegendrink.com, etc. He did very well with this site and did no seo, no advertising, nothing except take orders from people who misspelled the domain name. He didn't have a problem with this since he was selling the same product the customers were looking for, and he was an authorized dealer reselling the real product from the manufacturer.
