I heard something interesting regarding misspellings that surprised me.

Despite the fact that all major engines offer spelling corrections, only half the people will click on that link to redo their search with the correct spelling.

I am a terrible speller (sometimes typist) and am always using that link. I found it surprising that so many people were not doing the same.

Lesson, don't forget about misspellings. Having said that, I think there is an art to going after misspellings in a tasteful way.

In my search results I often see things like mothersday where they miss the space bar, soIhaveaddedthemintomykeywordsaswell
