Identify emerging trends and top VIPs in blogs and forums using the content topic phrase data mining feature provided at no additional charge.Did you know that mistyped words on your website impact your Internet search engine ranking on sites such as Google, Bing and Yahoo Search? Many business websites spend hundreds of dollars on advanced SEO tweaks in an attempt to improve their search ranking, but fail to ensure their website content is free of typographical mistakes. A reduced search engine ranking impacts the number of visitors to your website and thus impacts your bottom line.
Typos impact your organization's reputation and
credibility. Many websites state that user trust is a
major consideration, but at the same time are littered with typos.
Typos can cause a loss in business productivity due to the time spent providing clarification to clients and internally within your organization. You may think that your documents are error-free, but you would be surprised to learn how many issues can be identified on most large websites. To prove this point, go to the "Samples" web page on this website to see an example of content issues found by this service at the "U.S. Government Printing Office" (GPO), website and http://www.whitehouse.gov. Even the best managed and maintained websites typically have between twenty to thirty issues.
So why do so many websites have mistakes even after using a spell check tool during web page creation and editing? Usually the dictionaries used by these tools are not very robust. You usually find yourself adding large segments of new unverified words to your local dictionaries once you incorporate your specialized business and technical terminology. Many may not be verified because it is such a time consuming process to check each word. Rushed deadlines and tired employees are prone to mistakes. Also, your spell check tool may not have grammar check functionality.
This service also provides fundamental SEO quality assurance checks for your website; creating a one-stop service for all your fundamental SEO needs.
This means there is no need to use a separate spell check and SEO service.
The dictionaries used by this service are constantly being updated with all the latest words and terminology. It simply isn't cost effective to try and duplicate the capabilities of this service. It's capabilities have been evolving for a number of years and is well trained from processing hundreds of websites.

Service Limitations
This service is designed for documents which are available to the public. This service does not have security safeguards needed to protect documents that contain sensitive information such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, military secrets, bank account numbers, etc.
Documents heavily populated with foreign language characters are not good candidates for this service. If your documents contain large segments of English; mixed with foreign languages, then the "unrecognized items file" may be larger; thus making it more time consuming to use that information to create a custom dictionary for your document set. This service can currently recognize a large number of Spanish, French and German words preventing those words from appearing in the unrecognized words list. Some Latin words such as those used in legal lingo may not be recognized.
Service cannot be provided for websites which are blocked by censors due to adult content such as blocking employed by public libraries or public Wi-Fi access points.
Smaller websites and document sets create a smaller "unrecognized items file" making it easier to create a custom dictionary for future spell checks.
This service cannot process web pages that use copy protection schemes or compressed, encrypted or password protected document files. This service may not be able to process websites using exotic methods to render web pages.
See this website's Legal page for additional information regarding terms of service.
This service uses your website's "robots.txt" file to determine which files to check.
