I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect Google to cater for every dialect of a language, even one as mainstream as English.

That said one would imagine that when one searches on optimization it would offer up optimisation as an alternative. But it’s an American company so the American dialect is given priority.

I would think that google wold have a quick fix for this, or at least do something about it besided the “did you mean” link.

I noticed that you promote the site with the word ‘optimisation’ (the correct way to spell it, I might add).

How do you think this is affecting your traffic, especially given that searching for that word will give a recommendation to change it to ‘optimization’?

Hi,

At the end of the day, if you are good at marketing and brand name building like they have, it
doesn’t really matter if the name is spelt wrong as it becomes something people remember
and explain to others when they refer the site.

I agree it’s a little risky bu they are a success and I guess that counts for something.

This website can be taken for various names which makes it fun I think. http://www.smorty.com
