Chek You're Spelin
Posted by Deborah Read on Friday 15 July 2011 in Finance
More and more businesses are sending their school leaver staff on basic courses to improve things such as spelling and grammar, mathematical skills and other essentials, which they should have a grasp on. Now Charles Duncombe, and online entrepreneur has stated that just one misspelling on a website could cut online sales by half. This is big news for an emerging industry, where time is of the essence when getting a site up and running. Often spelling mistakes can creep in, unseen by people who have already spent six months working hard to bring the website online. So what does a misspelling tell customers? Often customers are put off by misspellings as it says that the site is less professional than other sites. This in turn, makes customers wary about buying items from the site. Consumers are still jumpy when it comes to buying items from the net and will look for little things like spelling as a clue. However, this could raise further questions for internet professionals. What if your keyword is a misspelt word? You want to put it in your content to increase your rankings, but then if it means consumers won't buy from your site- what do you do? General grammar and spelling mistakes need to be addressed, as these basic skills are still needed in the workplace. Until then, sites may find that sales decrease dramatically.
