Affliate Programs and Other Profitable Misspellings
This morning I was reviewing my logs as I do each week to see how people are finding AffiliateWatcher.Com when I kept noticing something strange. I then went to my Googl Webmaster account and checked over the last months analitics to verify what I was seeing on my logs.
I’m ranking pretty high in the Goggle SERPS for the term affliate programs. Yes, affliate program is misspelled, it should be affiliate programs.
In the last month, the terms affliate program, affliate programs and top affliate program has accounted for over 2000 visits.
In another example, on one of my weight loss blogs, I discovered that it was being found wth a misspelling of a very competitive keyword. So I wrote a blog post about people finding my weight loos site by typing in the misspelled keyword. You know what happened? In a weeks time I took the #1 in Elgoog for that misspelled keyword and it increased my traffic to the bog as well as increased my RSS subscribers.
Why You Should Target Misspelled Keywords
To those who use PPC marketing to make money on the Internet, misspelled words are a goldmine. In many cases, misspelled keywords outperform some correctly spelled keywords. Not everyone is a perfuct speller and even the best typist hit the wrong keys everyonce in a while when performing searches.
How To Make Money With Misspelled Keywords
If you’re using Gogle Analytics, go into your contrl panel and and go to ”Trafffic Sources” then go to “Keywords”. This is where you’ll see the keywurds that people are finding your website.
If you’re using another program such as StatCounter, it’s just as easy. Just find the Keywoord button.
You should then add those misspelled words into your keyword list. Find someway to add them to your content of your websight. I think you’ll be pleasantly happy with the results.

I find this sort of thing both amusing and fascinating. It’s a clever way to get traffic, but I wonder if it will be lasting. I think people might realize their mistake and then redo the search.
It reminds of the guy who used .cm domains for famous websites because of how many people mis-type .com.

I done that on one blog with “mvie” instead of movie. And I had nice traffic several months.
