Last week we added a custom 404 pages to our site so that we do not lose potential traffic. This weeks focus is on checking your site for spelling mistakes. Many sites loose business because of spelling mistakes so it is very important to check our site content carefully.
You could copy and paste your pages into a data processor and check them one by one for spelling errors. Instead if you are like me you would rather find a free solution that will check your entire site for you. I had to test a few of the various services to find the one I liked.
To check your site for spelling errors go to TextTrust and click on Free Trial. You will then be prompted to enter in your domain and email. Once that is done your site will be scanned for spelling mistakes and a report will be emailed out in 24 hours. When you get the report go through and correct the various mistakes.
If you get stuck let me know in the comments.

I’m sorry to pick on you but I found it funny that your post on spelling has a couple of grammatical mistakes, which you will see that a spell check will not catch.
loose = lose (Many sites loose…)
your = you’re (Instead if your…)

Still looking for the grammer check plugin. Maybe a side project for my next wordpress plugin.

Lol, I cannot help myself here….
Grammar is with an “ar” at the end. Don’t you just love writing about spelling and having a wise ass like myself pick on you? ;)
