Misspelled Money Phrase/Word When Indexed for the 1st-Time and After Indexed

1. Let's say you start a new site that hasnt been indexed and you misspell your money phrase/word and use it only once. Will google categorize it under the correct money word phrase/word and begin ranking under there (and potentially also under the misspelled results too) or will the page ONLY be indexed under the misspelled phrase/word?

2. What if your page was indexed already under the correct spelling money phrase/word but then misspelled versions of it appeared in the comments on the page, will those misspellings count towards the density for the money phrase and/or be used in the same results as the correctly spelled results page? Or will it not count towards your words density because the words/phrase are not the same due to the misspelling?

3. And if it doesn't count towards your density would the misspellings improve ranking because of the importance of the equivalent typo words and variants continuing to be found (google understands it is just a comment misspelling)?

    stop looking too much into keyword density it's not healthy. As long as the content reads well you're golden. i.e. change the misspelling back to correctly spelled. Besides google picks up a lot of typos and displays the suggested correctly spelled keyword first anyway

      Google changes searches on whatever they feel is
      pertinent at the moment.

      Normally, the default is the right spelling.

      Want to have some fun?

      Do a search for:
      rod iron

      And you will see the most blatant case.

      Authority sites can get away with misspelled words not
      being a problem.

      Google does not give a rat's behind about density.

        That's not a case of misspelling, that's Google returning results for a related keyword.

        There are different types of wrought iron, eg:

        bar iron
        rod iron
        hoop iron
        plate iron
        etc

          I wouldn't worry about those issues. Also, don't pay too much attention to keyword density - rather make sure to use various LSI keywords (related keywords) on your page.

          Point taken. I just gave that as an example
          to show that google gets around misspelling of words.

          In the above case, people searching for rod iron
          gates are searching for wrought iron gates most
          likely, and google gives them such results.

          rod iron gate is a common miscue and would not make
          much sense.

          In other words, google taking rod iron gates and turning
          that into wrought iron gates for the searcher.

          Not a misspelling but complete replacement.
