Number 1 in google for my target keyword, but with a catch

I was looking at my Google Analytics stats and to my surprise we had received a visitor using our target search keyword phrase(which is part of the domain name). I've always considered ranking highly for this to be a long term thing - I believe we'll get there, but probably in a few months. We've been working hard on SEO and backlink building since we put the site up a month ago. Anyway, I went to google and it turns out the visitor came from a misspelling of the keyword phrase It has 2 of the same letters in the first word, they had missed out one of them. I'm not sure how we rank number 1 for it - the word isn't misspelled anywhere on the site :confused: Oh well, it feels nice to almost be number 1 The misspelling actually gets 4 searches per day, so we might pick up more visitors and even some sales sometime with it

    Hi Liam,

    Yes, Google is good that way. You are also likely to get visits from local traffic thanks to geo-location targeting.

      Hi,

      Geo location targeting is good for local traffic but as far as global concerns then, I dont think that it will work for you.


      Thanks!!

    One of my sites also has the same anomaly. I'm ranking #1 for a misspelling and try as I might, I can't find that misspelled word anywhere within that particular site.

    One place I've not yet looked is the backlinks. I wonder if someone is linking to my site with misspelled anchor text? Hmmmm...

      This crossed my mind too, there's got to be some kind of explanation for it :confused: It's bizarre, but welcome too

    Yes, you are right. Many people misspellingwhile they search so you are getting benifit of that. Due to that AssociateContent has registered all the domans that could be misspelled. Anyways, congratulation.
