Question Common Misspellings and SEO?

Hi Everyone,

As you may or may not know sometimes misspellings can be very lucrative and produce large amounts of traffic to a given website. However there is a caveat for anyone wishing to rank organically for these terms.

1.) Either place misspellings on / in your website.

2.) Use Pay Per Click Listings to appear.

For me I don't like to include misspellings in:

Title Tags
Headings Tags
Meta descriptions

While on some type of websites this may be ok, I'd really like to avoid it.

So what do you do to include those common problems like:
One of the biggest in terms of seo in my experience is with relation to:

Accommodation
  1. accomodation
  2. acommodation
  3. acomodation
Just to name a few....

I used to use the meta keywords tag to include a list of misspellings, however if the big G (Google), doesn't even bother to look at this (correct me if I'm wrong). Then it seems a bit pointless to include it.

What's your experience / advice?
