I would love to write and say what a great job you did on this, as you have put a lot of work into it.

Great post. Well done!

It is always the same. People are always quick to pick up on a misspelt word (notice this one), as soon as you post a new article.

What some new and inexperienced people do not realise is that some (most) professional website owners actually do it on purpose, so who’s laughing at who!

And here’s a good observation; Have you noticed the results page for the keyword. Wide open for exploitation and making money, and that’s a tip “fpr” (this is a big one) the newcomers.

It makes some website owners a lot of money, including me!

Truly a good post. Wishing you the very best.
Sincerely,
John Adams

[...] Enter KMDT – or, the Keyword Mutation Detection Tool (via Problogger) for short. KMDT lets you enter a keyword and shows you common misspellings based on its database generated from search query logs. [...]

Agreed. Let it to your visitors.

I always advice: Even people who can’t write CAN recognize a well-written text and the credibility it brings. I doubt a MySpace kid would like to learn from a text book using their dialect.

All my typos are real and I’m proud of them.

“Keyword Mutation Detection Tool in which you can input a correctly spelled keyword and find out how readers commonly misspell it.”

I have enough misspelt words floating around in my head, confusing my brain, I don’t need to add more :-)

During the invasion of Iraq I had another blogger posting on my site who consistently mis-spelt Al-Jazeera, so I got quite a few hits for al jezzera, al jeezra etc.

I wrote about it a few days ago. Not only the mispelling but all those weird combinations of letters some people think as “cool”.

It’s not the fanciest way, but when a simple typo in a comment brings +40 unique visitors, I can’t say it bothers me.

Having also reviewed 103bees in my blog, I also found them to be a great source of data regarding organic traffic visiting my site. Regarding the use of spelling mistakes in blog posts or comments I suggest you read SEO tips - avoid spellchecking

Misspelling to get extra people to visit does seem a bit dodgey. It also happens in microstock (I’m a contributor for Istockphoto), where you put the keywords in for people to search for your pics that you’ve got for sale. I’m not sure I’d do it deliberately – based on principle! I’m not the best speller though, so maybe I’d do it accidentally anyway!

I really dig 103bees! Fantastic tool. Speaking of misspellings, I once accidentally typed in my own blogger URL only I transposed a couple letters so it said “blgospot” (or something like that) instead of blogspot (or maybe it was blogpsot). Anyway, it went to some religious site that seemed strangely interested in saving the souls of poor spellers and typists.

Hey Darren,

Your site did not send a trackback. Just so you know.

Definately a lot of misspellings. Mine are because of fat fingers.

Thanks for the link Darren.

Mis-spelt domains are worth big bucks. This year Mortage.com was sold for $242,400.

I discovered that a lot of people miss-spell “Adsense” as “Adense” via my site logs. Funny thing is that that page is now my third highest trafficked page.

Did you misspell Microsoft on purpose? :)
