Ever typed in something only to realize that the way you thought it was spelt and the reality of how it is spelt are totally different? Good news! Chances are other people will do the same. There is definitely money to be made in common mispellings.

Great areas to target for misspellings are music artits or the like; think of some of your favorite artists right now; do you REALLY know the correct spelling of all their names?

Word of warning; before going on a campaign be weary that misspelling large corporate trademarks may be infringing. Case in point I’d avoid misspellings of company names for the sake of mis spelling traffic to redirect to them through an affiliate account. (huge GRIN). They typically don’t like that and if they see you on the front page of search engines chances are you won’t be for long. cough cough trust me.

This post is pretty short but not much else to say it’s quite too the point. Here is an example though…

Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous girl ; permiscuous, purmiscuous…

Misspellings??

Nelly Fertado
Nelly Firtado
Nelly Furtato
Nelly Fertato ….

List goes on and on.

One thing that is clever and I had success was if a popular song is being searched alot that has a hard to spell word in the title… Bingo target the song name with the mispelling of that term. Chances are lot’s of other people are typing it as well. One good thing about paid wordtracker though is that it does have a mispelling featured to help you find common mispellings. It’s interesting but i wouldn’t buy the service soley for it; you can usually guess many of them yourself!

Before going through with any mis-spellings check if there are affiliate products that people searching would be interested in. If there are none the term better have high paying keywords in adsenes or it’s not worth it. Example: ear mucus and excess ear mucus are searched A LOT with almost no competition… I thought OMG gold mine!!! Then I visited adwords to see how much is being paid for those terms… $0.08 woohooo; no thanks.

I think I’ve said enough; go on and have some fun with mispellings!

P.S I’m on vacation and will try and post but I left the laptop at home to “get away” and posting from internt cafe’s isn’t the easiest thing to do in the world. Being on these PC’s make me realize how lucky I am to have the blogging setup I do at home!
