I used the different forms of “Youtube” such as Utube, Yotube, Yutube and Youtube as my examples for misspelled words. So, why in the hell am I misspelling these words? Well, the main reason is the fact that you can take advantage of the traffic it generates; particularly search engine traffic.
I know we should all be professional with grammar and punctuation when it comes to certain niches - particularly MMO, entrepreneur, blogging tips type of blogs - but once in a while a misspelled word (or words) can go a long way.
In my example with the “Utube, Yotube, Yutube and Youtude” words, many people spell these wrong when they’re searching for what they are really looking for. And I bet a majority of the times they don’t do it on purpose.
Now, I’m not saying Utube, Yotube, Yutube or Youtude are the only words that can generate traffic but if you look up potential traffic they can generate through search engines, you’d be amazed.
I took a quick screenshot of the estimated traffic from SEOTOOLS you could get from “yutube” as an example.
If you look, people could potentially gain up to 912 daily unique visitors. Now, it would require some knowledge in SEO but if you can manage to get yourself in the top 3 spots within that keyword rank, you’ll be all set. Of course, we are all aiming for that number 1 spot.
Now don’t go misspell every single word you can think of because more than likely your readers will get turned off on the fact that you’re writing is like a 5th grader. But if you do some keyword research, keep in mind misspelled words can help you as well.
Side note: I know the other day I wrote “Search Engine Traffic = More Money and More RSS Subscribers”, I’ll be writing the second part to that this week as well as revealing the new contest for the Nintendo Wii prize.

Thanks for the tips about misspelling. This is a great source of traffic. But I am just wondering if it can increase revenue. What do you think, Jay?

Great way to get extra traffic
Good points, and I guess that could drive a little traffic to your blog, but you need more of a targeted audience. You don’t want to use something in one post and then have someone find you, then not enjoy your blog and walk away.
It’s really cool to know about the harms of misspelling in the keywords of a content. Thank you very much, for sharing such important points with us.
Wow, I never realized how much traffic misspellings could generate.
Misspelled keywords are great. I have some typo domains that make a little money. I also have some dyslexic friendly domains that do rather well.
I never applied this to standard site traffic, but certainly something I will consider in the near future.
i really like the idea on how to make money online by just optimizing misspelled keyword. my question is, is it okey with search engine like google?
