Wikiepedia? No Wikipedia, Typo your way to new visitors!
May 14, 2006My previous posts on contributing to Wikipedia contained an interesting and apparently well searched for typo. It says in the paragraph 2 “wikiepedia” instead of Wikipedia.
What’s interesting about this typo, is the post (typo is now fixed) ranked number 1 for the misspelling wikiepedia on google and brought some new visitors into my site. I just checked my analytics and it appears the visitors who came to site using a search term of wikiepedia viewed an average of 2.25 pages, meaning they clicked around at least somewhat. So that brings me to an interesting question, should you purposely put typos in titles and/or descriptions to bring new customers to your site? Or maybe just list a few common misspellings at the end of your posts?
I’m definitely going to give typos a little more thought. I update my blog so regularly that a few well placed typos on a day to day basis could add up to a lot of traffic. Especially considering this week alone over 20% of my visitors are repeat

No, using typos to drive visitors to your site is cheating. Not as evil as people who purposely register typo domain names to get visitors (typo-squatters), but wrong nonetheless.
