60 Unique Visitors For A Few Seconds Work – My SEO Trick

I managed to get 60 visitors to the blog in roughly the last week with this little SEO trick… take a look…

Normally I don’t like using mis-spellings and I generally try to avoid them because I think the don’t look very professional.

However, I find it interesting that in this case the mis-spellings weren’t in the web-address of the blog post, or the title or even in the body of the post. Due to the sheer volume of people searching for the Google Chrome browser which was a “hot news item” last week, I managed to get 60 new visitors to the blog for a few mis-spellings which were only found in the first comment of the post… which means they never appeared on the homepage of the blog.

It was a matter of just a few seconds “work” to add the mis-spellings as a comment to the blog post.

What do you think? Are mis-spellings a traffic goldmine? Do you use them? Will this start a new craze of bloggers leaving mis-spellings in comments at their own blogs? :-)

  1. Mis-spellings indeed bring in organic traffic too, however it does not cover a huge percentage. One thing to take note is: This mis-spelling traffic actually represent searcher who are also looking for something in mind that your website has to offer.

  2. We’ve used misspelling in English and in German and it has brought us traffic in the past.

    And it still does today, so we keep using this technique.
