Default intentional misspellings of major keywords on site pages

Two of my major keywords, "mannequins" and "miniature" are continuously misspelled when people search my All Dress Forms site, located here:
http://www.alldressforms.com

When people do a search via the search engines, the search engines very nicely correct their misspellings and they find what they are looking for.

Currently, what works well is that I have the misspellings on the bottom of my home page and my major mannequins page.

Should I add all the misspellings to each of the product pages that these keywords are referring to?

Here's another thread that discusses your question

Yes, you can optimize pages for misspellings. However I wouildn't add misspellings to your current pages, but rather create new pages for that purpose for search engines

Phantom, thanks for the link to the earlier discussion. I found several useful ideas, especially:

A separate page for misspelled words:

The below on "how to enter the code" is from the earlier topic referred to of http://webproworld.com/viewtopic.php?t=29605

A better way to place a link to your page from here is frieworks

Keyword Typo Generator

That keyword typo tool generated misspellings I've never seen before! It's great!

end of credits :-)

I've been adding the misspellings on my home page, in a separate paragraph near the bottom that begins with the following:

"Since the word mannequin appears in several different ways including..."

I'll create a new page or pages, since the other problematic word for people is "miniature".

At least most people know how to spell "dress forms".
