The importance of using correct grammar

One of my readers recently sent me a link to a report undertaken by Website Planet, which highlights the importance of using correct grammar when writing and also checking for typos before publishing. 

The research found that grammatical errors and typos cost money to businesses and individual bloggers relying on income from online advertising.  Visitors arriving on your web pages are more likely to bounce out due to bad spelling and grammar, which means your ad quality score is affected and Google lowers your organic page ranking.  Anything which adversely affects the number of visitors to your site and the impression they have of your product has to be worth consideration.

Children don‘t always realise why we are teaching them to write correctly and check their work for mistakes, so any real-life reason might help. I’m posting the link to the report here for those of you who are interested. https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/grammar-report/

Thank you Virginia!
