Above all else…make sure you spell it right!
by WendyI know we have all made typos, it happens. When it is on your own personal project…you fix it and move on. When it's on a clients project…you risk giving the wrong impression. You risk the client thinking you might not be as professional as they thought.
So…what do you do? Well. Spell check is nifty. Almost everything has it. There is also this incredible tool, it's been a trusted resource for centuries and can give you the confidence to say, "Yes it is spelled n-e-c-e-s-s-a-r-y!" I'm talking about the dictionary. It's simple, we all know how to use it and we even have an online version to make our life even simpler.
Dictionary.com has a Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia, and Reference section. It's like your very own virtual library.
So, when in doubt about the spelling of a word, or when you are trying to prove that you are right, check out dictionary.com.
P.S. Don't bother checking for typos in my article on typos. LOL I double spell-checked it already

Unless of course you are trying to rank for misspellings.

Hmmm..hadn’t considered that. I guess I really was thinking of words that were part of the graphics, things that would require you to go back into Photoshop and change.
This is interesting though, as I’m sure a lot of people go out of their way to misspell for search engine ranking purposes. And I’m sure they are very clear on which ones they are misspelling. I would expect lots of research goes into determining which words you are targetting at the moment. It wouldn’t do to misspell your intentionally misspelled word.
I guess I should have titled this “Above all else…make sure you spell it the way you want it spelled!”
