Yes, I have also found that Google seems to automatically correct typos.
All the best,

I wouldn't do this Keri. While typos are common with browsers, Google automatically corrects and/or suggests the correct phrase/keyword.

And even keywords that are wrongly typed still provide the same if not similar search results meaning you can get visitors who look for your keyword but type it incorrectly.

The only time I would recommend adding typos is if you're doing paid advertising campaigns where you would have to provide a whole list of keywords you want your ad to appear for. In that area, it does make sense to do it, but not from an SEO standpoint.

Very interesting discussion, thanks for sharing.

It happens all the time. I would never put typos in my content, but I would in my SEO keywords. I think it broadens your search reach.

Thanks for all of the replies. I do want to clarify though....I am not planning to add these to the page or post text......I was asking about adding them to the SEO keywords FIELD.. I don't think I was clear about that.

Hey Keri, I agree with David, you only miss 100% of the shots you don't take. if it's a miss correct it and try again. Probably wouldn't hurt to see what happens, if no positive results , change it back, and let us know it didn't work but if it works, share it with the rest of us..every little bit helps... Good luck!!

I can't see why you can't give it a try and see what happens, I've also noticed these, maybe it's the way to go... Let me know what happens if you decide to try them

I'm with Steve. I won't use them either. One thing Jay said in his Jaaxy Ninja training was that it has to make sense. Why don't you try it and see if you get what you need? You can always change it later. Good Luck!

It's not recommended to use these typo keywords on your site. Especially if you need to use the keywords in your title, it's not going to look good on your end if you used typo keywords in your title.

I understand people make typos when searching, I do it too. But if a visitor gets to your site and sees typos in the title of posts and in the content, they may not take it seriously and just leave your site.

Hope this helps!

I personally won't use misspelled words or nonsensical phrases in my articles nor will I read articles written that way. Just my personal preference :)

there's a few ways of doing it. You can:

1) use Contact Form 7 plugin and create your own form to add to your widgets - you will have to collect each individual address yourself

2) sign up for Google Feedburner - people who subscribes will get an email notification of each post your publish automatically

3) mail chimp - you can sign up for a free account and get 2000 free subscribers and create your own email campaign

Hope this helps!
