As you can tell from this Blog, myself like almost anybody else, whether blogging or posting on a forum am prone to making occasional typographical errors, even when I have proof-read it several times over, and then go back at a later date to identify yet another mistake, I guess that’s why we have spell checkers.

However, this no different to anyone typing a keyword phrase into a search engine, thus this can be exploited to a certain degree in any search marketing activity, whether it be generic or brand terms. A few pay per click search engines are gradually identifying some of these typo errors, but not most.This provides an opportunity for a small income to be derived on cheap traffic with a decent ROI, whether you are arbitraging or sending directly to a merchant.

These are known as QWERTY keyboard ‘typos’ (typing mistakes) which consist of various forms & degrees of errors like Transposition, Slip, Omission, Repetition, QWERTY Substitution, QWERTY Repetition.

  • Transposition > Adjacent pairs of letters are swapped over.
  • Omission > Individual letters are missed out.
  • Repetition > Individual letters are entered twice consecutively.
  • QWERTY Substitution > Letters are replaced by each of their QWERTY keyboard based physical neighbours (e.g. ‘h’ gets replaced with y, u, j, n, b, g)
  • QWERTY Repetition Type 1 > Letters are followed by each of their QWERTY Keyboard Neighbours
  • QWERTY Repetition Type 2 > Letters are preceded by each of their QWERTY Keyboard neighbours

Most of the time, we think as many up for ourselves as possible, but sometimes my minds creative juices are not always flowing. One site we occasionally utilise which is pretty useful is this free tool called the Free Online Typo Generation Tool

Their URL is http://www.typos.org.uk

I hope you’ll find the tool useful & that maybe it will take some of the strain out of thinking, more importantly I hope it makes you an extra few quid.
