 How Misspelling a Word like "Gooogle" Can Lead to Search Engine Ranking Success
The simple misspelling of “foregn” has achieved first page placement for many websites, and although a high search engine ranking is nothing without visitors being returned by it, a Google search for “foregn language” returns many advertises actually sponsoring this misspelling.
Whereas a website that advertises for a misspelling can do so without any change to the quality of its text, a website that has deliberately placed misspellings on their page might be rejected by a potential customer should it be spotted upon a visit.
The balance needs to be addressed, in that should a website take advantage of search engine ranking positions that are achieved for misspellings that at the same time they do not damage the overall quality of their site simply to achieve that search engine ranking.
