    Smile how can we influence the google “did you mean” query?

    how can we influence the google “did you mean” ? my client bought a name that sounds very similar to credit reporting agency and we cant seem to influence it..90 % of the listings are ours on the first page..cant see to shake the “did you mean” this one..and feedback?
    Strategy that I am mulling over is "query deserves freshness"..launching press release, blog commenting.
    Any feedback

    Hiya PPCguy,

    How many pages does the site have and how old is it? I've got a new site, that had the same problem but once the traffic got up and going, the search query which generated the, "Did you mean...?" message went away. The only thing I can figure is you need just the tiniest amount of authority but I really don't have a definite answer. I am interested in hearing about the age of your site and size though.

    Let me know,
    Chris

    Hmm... this is a very interesting thread, and something that I seldom see discussed.

    Hope to hear more too

    Graham, is this based on experience? Have you actually achieved this on sites you've worked with? It would be awesome if you could give us some specific examples.

    Cheers
    Brett
