It definitely won't hurt your ranking or your credibility with your visitors. - Jeff Jones Thu, 23 Jul 2009 08:19:30 +0100 http://www.lyrishq.com/index.php/SEO/SEM/SEO-Listings-That-Stand-Out-on-Results-Pages.html#pc_303 Natalie - The Meta keyword tag is a good place to put common misspellings, if only because it will help the search engines recognize the association. As Jeff said, it's best not to place misspellings in any of your important visible content simply because it could negatively impact a visitor's perception of your website. - Jason Lancaster Thu, 23 Jul 2009 07:22:56 +0100 http://www.lyrishq.com/index.php/SEO/SEM/SEO-Listings-That-Stand-Out-on-Results-Pages.html#pc_301 My initial thought would be to not worry about the misspelled versions. Considering the title and description are the primary meta-data items that are important for search engines I would definitely not suggest playing around with misspellings on either of those areas, nor would I suggest adding any of them to your page content. If the misspellings are overwhelmingly common, it would be worth considering creating some PPC campaigns targeting these phrases. Ultimately you probably need to really work on optimizing your site for important non-branded (or at least non-business name) keywords (especially long-tail) that are specific to your product or service and allow those terms to pick up the slack. Hope this helps. - Jeff Jones Thu, 23 Jul 2009 07:15:27 +0100 http://www.lyrishq.com/index.php/SEO/SEM/SEO-Listings-That-Stand-Out-on-Results-Pages.html#pc_300 My search word results show numerous misspellings of our company name, but very comparatively little use of other keywords, and rarely any long tail keywords. One source told me that because the search engines do a good job of estimating the intended spelling that it shouldn't be a problem. But I am wondering if I should start including some of the misspellings in my meta-data. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. - Natalie Bliss Thu, 23 Jul 2009 06:29:43 +0100
