Do you ever purposely spell things wrongly when writing web pages?
Do you ever knowingly spell things incorrectly when writing web pages, in order to attract searches from people who input the wrong spelling in their search?
For instance, I have just written a hub about how to make bubble and squeak, and, by mistake I spelled it bubble and squeek. Then I realized that if I spell it that way, other people will probably do so too, and this might affect Google searches. So having noticed the error, I compounded it by repeating it several times in my article. Is this bad?

You stumbled upon what is supposed to be a tried and true method of attracting visitors except that the mistake is not supposed to be repeated in the article, only used in tags.
Don't I sound authoritative?
This is what I've read, but it will be interesting to see what others with more experience might add to this question.

Is your spelling getting worse?I prided myself as a kid on my excellent spelling. As the years go by it's getting constantly worse. I think it's the fault of Spell Checker, a blessed little program but one that makes us rely on it. Are you having the same experience?
