    Yes why not - lets try and make this place a vestige for all the typos - it may mean a few more people don't get duped by the commerical copycats (not sure how google will pick it up but it may help). As you can see I've added a big note in the first thread for people who come here.

  • Martin Louse? :rotfl: Martin Le Wis?:confused: :rotfl:

    I think we might need to have an automatic spell checker also if we are helping those who find spelling and typing challenging, to prevent them being picked up on by those who do so on the forum. I know this may cost more, just a thought.

    Sticking all those as hidden text on the home page should cover most eventualities :shocked:

    Or for people who search Google with quote marks to get a 2-word phrase, how about:
    "(nartin lewis,martim lewis,martib lewis,martin lewid,martin lewia,msrtin lewis,martin lewos,marton lewis,martin lewus,martun lewis,maryin lewis,marrin lewis,martin lrwis,martin lwwis,martin leeis,martin leqis,mirtin lewis,martin lewas,martan lewis,martin leuis,martin lewiz,martin lewii,martin lewws,martin leeis,martin llwis,martin ewis,martinnlewis,martii lewis,marttn lewis,marrin lewis,maatin lewis,mmrtin lewis,martin lewiss,martin lewiis,martin lewwis,martin leewis,martin llewis,martinn lewis,martiin lewis,marttin lewis,marrtin lewis,maartin lewis,mmartin lewis,martin lewsi,martin leiws,martin lweis,martin elwis,martinl ewis,marti nlewis,martni lewis,maritn lewis,matrin lewis,mratin lewis,amrtin lewis,martin lewi,martin lews,martin leis,martin lwis,martin ewis,martinlewis,marti lewis,martn lewis,marin lewis,matin lewis,mrtin lewis,artin lewis)"

  • A google search for Martin Lewis also throws up this page http://www.martinlewis.com/ but it was the only entry on the first page that didn't refer to MSE Martin ;)
  • What about people who use voice recognition programmes? That could throw up all kinds of connotations on 'Martin Lewis', depending on accents/dialects/voice impediments etc.
    Don't know if martin likes the idea of anything being thrown up on him though . . . lol.
