TOKYO, JAPAN - September 1, 2004 - Searchspell, the leading provider of spellchecking and typo generation services on the internet for over four years, today introduced a no cost basic version of it's popular hosted typo optimization site service.

"Dozens of companies have already used our custom typo site hosting solutions to gain a competitve advantage in advertising their services to prospective customers," says Joe Petrow, founder of Searchspell. "Now, Searchspell has grown to the level where we are able to offer an advertising supported solution at no cost, opening our services up to a much broader range of budget-minded clients."

Searchspell typo optimization sites are hosted copies of customer websites optimized for typos and misspellings of selected keywords. The leading search engine Google has shown that 1 in 10 search queries are misspelled, yet few webmasters go through the trouble and effort to target this significant audience. By hosting a copy of a company website, optimized for typos and misspellings using Searchspell's proprietary technology, these pages quickly gain high rankings for popular keyword misspellings, and route prospective customers to the main company website. The new basic typo sites will be supported by advertising placed on the hosted typo site at Searchspell's discretion.

As a special promotion, the first five customers to register for a no cost basic hosted typo site will receive an invitation to join GMail, the web-based email application developed by Google that is currently in beta testing. In addition, all customers who register for the basic typo site are eligible to upgrade to the custom typo site solution, including custom site design and targetting of keyword phrases of two or more words, at a discounted rate of $199.
