Clearly typos can drive search-engine traffic (although not as well as references to women sans clothing).
Still, I have noticed a decent amount of traffic to PoliBlog as the result of two typos.
First, in one of my many posts on the hurricane, I accidentally typed “Kitrina” instead of “Katrina” and earlier in the week a large number of folks were looking for “hurricane Kitrina videos”.
Second, I left the “r” out of “Govenor” in one post, leading to numerous hits from folks looking for “Govenor Blanco.”
So, those if one is looking to generate traffic, but feels the need to eschew the refs to nekkid persons, try some creative typos–something the url squatters figured out a while back.
Just a handy blogging tip from your friends at PoliBlog.

For a short period, I was skeptical about the concern that pornography was always a click or two away from impressionable kiddies surfing the web. My opinion changed when Googled for any sites that fit the keywords Napoleonic, wars, maps, and the results included not one but three porn sites.
