Accidental Discovery
In a secondary site that I have, I noticed searchers getting in through MSN using the miss spelled phrase: ortgage calculator. So I tried it, and bang! my site (www.mortgagecalculatorsandrates.com) showed up in the first place…
Convinced that I must have a spelling mistake on the page, I checked it up and down and couldn’t find it!
The other sites all have miss spelings, and yet my site comes up first. The only explanation being that it must be in a back link someplace, though I couldn’t find it.
The lesson is:
if you are targeting miss spelled words go for the BLs.
Now before you get very exited about this one perticular search phrase, let me add that I got 22 visitors in 20 days of September!

This adds more credibilty to the theory that we were takling about with randfish about off topic backlinks like `best darn site`.
So you may go for `best darn ortgage loan site`

Is there any tool like http://www.webconfs.com/anchor-text-analysis.php to find the BLs with a particular LinkText... so that we make conclude the fact is BL. Also I'd find some posts claiming that with only some MetaKW tags, ppl atain ranks for mis spelled key(?)words...- claiming no BLs with the mis-spelled Kw as linktext.

What from these we - newbies - have to learn...?

I totally agree with the back link mispellings this happened to me earlier in the year but i did find the backlink and it was only on a directory listing. My guess is that many people are very careful when it comes to anchor text (obviously not me) but when it does happen its such a rare thing to occur so blasts you high in the serps for that misspelling because no one else has that anchor text

What i do...
is search yahoo for...

linksite:www.yoursite.com "mspelled word"

This will return any sites linking to yours that have the mispelled word on it, helping you weed down the list to much smaller. you still have to go one by one to determine if it truly is a backlink

I agree with the backlinks theory. I use back links to rank for common mis-spellings.
