I agree, typos are a quite important SEO venue. Especially for sites that
deal with specialized technical or scientific terms. Even with regular
words one should not forget that most of Internet users these days are not
native English speakers, therefore there has got to be at least ten common
typos for a word with five letters.
There is one problem with actually optimizing for a typo keyword: anything
that you do can be (quite correctly) considered as cloaking by the search
engines. You'd have to build a special page with the typo, and then give
them a link to a good page. This is unless you can live with typos in the
actual body of your page, which is a very bad style indeed.
Sincerely,
Dmitri
