Heard some sites accidentally misspelled some keywords but in return they received good number of traffic just for that misspelled keywords. But some people do it intentionally in their site. They misspelled targeted keywords and fetch good number of traffic. Is it good practice? Does it really help to fetch visitors for the targeted keywords? Are they genuine visitors?
In my experience, using misspellings in keywords is useful if they are common misspellings. Keywords that real people use are useful. Keywords that real people do not use are not useful.
One of my clients runs a glass company. In his keywords, I use "tub enclosures" (correct spelling) but also "tub enclosers" (misspelled) because real people think that's correct. Both terms bring people to the site who are looking for the things that go around their bathtubs - just some can spell, some can't _________________ my new company site - AlphaWeb Design & Promotion - for website design, web marketing, web conferences
But this may harm your website reputation. Isn't it?
I can't see how it would. All you are doing is helping the search engine make a decision on what to do with a misspelled word, or phrase. Anything that helps a SE display a relevant site, after a typo has been entered in the search box, can only be a good thing. For instance, say someone had heard about HEDir and typed 'Heddir' in a Google search. Now if 'Heddir' had been added as part of the keyword list, it's possible the searcher would then find us. All we are doing by adding misspellings is 'helping' the SE make an informed choice, rather than serve up something totally irrelevant. _________________ Please help us to improve HEDir by reviewing some sites.

And on the other hand, if the word "header" is in the keywords list for Hedir, that might be misleading, since it isn't really a misspelling of "Hedir". People searching for a "header" are typically looking for car parts, not a directory, so that would be misleading and not a good thing. _________________ my new company site - AlphaWeb Design & Promotion - for website design, web marketing, web conferences
In the page content misspelled words do carry bad impressions, however out of 15 targeted keywords you can have a genuine misspelled words in your Meta tags. Because if a user searching for financial information and he/she typed fenancial SE will definitely interpret it as financial.
Misspelled keywords can sometimes be beneficial. I am saying so because once I have seen a site using the correct form of the keyword along with the misspelled type. In this case he is attracting visiotors to the site in both ways. This is a common form of optimization that is being followed from a long time.
