Weird Google Quirk

Posted August 10th, 2007

Here’s something interesting. I wanted to check the rankings for TechKnowMe as a Web Developer on Google, so I entered “web devloper concord” in the search terms. My personal resume came up as the second listing! Sweet!

Until I noticed I misspelled “Developer” in the search terms. When searching for “web developer concord” my site doesn’t seem to shop up at all (well, at least not in the first five pages – I stopped looking after that).

So I checked out the page the first search references. Nowhere on my resume is “developer” misspelled like that, and a search for “web concord” didn’t show my page either. So why is my result attracting poor typers looking for a web developer? Bad spelers of the wurld, untie?
