Does Grammar Affect Your Website Ranking?

One of the things I regularly notice when surfing websites is a lot of them contain poor grammar and spelling mistakes. It also seems common to use i instead of I, a very basic error. Some sites even seem to consist entirely of text speak.
I’m not saying that everything is perfect on here, but I do try.

Why do I bring this up?
Well sometimes I’ve mentioned this while reviewing a site with poor grammar on Link Referral. Some of the sites are so bad, they’re almost unreadable.
I appreciate that English is not everyone’s first language, and I applaud those, for whom it isn’t, that are making an effort.

However, when I’ve mentioned grammar in my reviews, some people have replied that it doesn’t matter.
I’ve wondered about this but still think sites with bad grammar look unprofessional and will put many people off.

The catalyst for writing this arrived a few days ago from LeadsLeap, in the shape of a blog post entitled
“Delisted from Google--Why?”


Apparently Google delists sites with bad syntax, spelling mistakes and poor grammar because these are often used by spammers and hackers.

I recommend anyone who has a blog or website to read this post from Leads Leap, if you’re worried it could happen to you.

As I’ve said before Leads Leap is worth joining for the newsletter it sends out, before you even take the free, viral exposure, your site can get, into consideration.

Thanks to everyone who’s been following my efforts on here, I’m off on holiday for a couple of weeks on Wednesday, and apologise if I don’t post during this period.

Having got a large part of my endeavours organized through TrafficExchangeProfits I don’t have to worry too much about being offline for a few days.

Happy Holidays [Vacations]
