---- Spelling mistakes 'cost millions' in lost online sales

I used to do it too - an odd misspelling here or there (my main keyword is a compound word with two s's - actually, a lot like "misspelling" - easy to misspell (missspell, mispell, miss-spell, mis-spell)

I found it much less effective once google started correcting searchers' spelling for them. It's a trade-off. The risk is that a searcher who comes across the misspelling may think you're unprofessional. The traffic used to justify that. It doesn't any more. YMMV.
