Intentional misspelling SEO

I have been trying to SEO one of my web page towards to a certain keyword.
Due to the competition and high popularity of the keyword, I just could not get it upper than the 4th page even though after many weeks applying through optimisation techniques I found in the SEO websites.

One lazy Saturday morning hung over from previous night, I was lying on bed with my girl friend’s MacBook on my belly. I tried to type the keyword that I have been optimising for into Google (it was very challenging for me) then I found the website ranked on the 1st page. YES I type it with incorrect spelling. I tried few different misspellings with other variations and the site ranked 1st page for all of them.
Strange! What happened there? My page doesn’t even contain those misspelling words? What if my page actually contains those misspelling words, what will happen?

Of course I will need to do further research on how exactly it affects Google algorithm. I guess it set your web page of the main ground of the competition that associated with that keyword then open up a new paradigm of keywords where there’s less competition. It is like a football player who was playing in English Premium League changing to English Premera League. There will be lot more chance to for him to score a goal.
Obviously the traffic you get from misspelling keywords will be much less than the correct spellings. But your short tem goal is having some of your webpages listed on the 1st page, I think it will be worth giving a shot.
