Keywords are the crux of search engine optimization or SEO and that is why most content creators on the internet look to optimise the usage of these keywords. Therefore, it might seem to follow that misspelling a keyword in your content will be mitigating to the efforts of the SEO techniques applied.
However, that may not be the case. Misspelling keywords can be helpful or not depending on the keyword concerned and the particular variation of the misspelling as well. Simply put, search engines take into consideration the frequency of the search terms typed in, which includes misspell variations of words.
So, if your mistake is an uncommon one, then the misspelling will simply hinder the quality of SEO applied.
But if the misspelling is a common mistake that is typed in by many people, it will still be correlated to the original keyword, thus not hindering your SEO techniques at all.
