Finding out if a misspell is recieving traffic

[gdubz]

Is overture an accurate way to see if a misspell is going to recieve traffic before you buy it? Or if not is there another way to check?
thanks :cheeky:

try overture with the extention. www.freewho.com is a great site and has many valuable tools.

being overture automatically corrects common misspells, if above method with ext doesnt show any overture, then the system i use is I type the correct spelling in google and see results ie: 100,000, I then typein the misspelling and see results if it is 10,000 that tells me a name may get 10 percent of the correct spelling in traffic, of course this is all estimation and can vary significantly

that is absurd, the amount of pages at google has nothing to do with how many times a term is searched for

I use this method only as a guide of percentage of people who spell a name incorrectly to the proper spelling, ie if google shows accommodations is spelt 42 million times correctly, i then compare accomodations and see 4 million misspells that tells me about 10 percent of people spell it wrong, so accomodations should see about 10 percent of traffic as accommodations.
having said that you will see the misspell gets more overture than the correct spelling which could be because its a better site or a variety of other reasons
