Though I never misspelled a domain whenever I type a address in browser :lol:, but I think they can be a valuable asset still.

Companies should take care of misspelled domains and maybe register them along with actual names, so that cyber squatters don't get much chance.

Just remember that in many cases you could open yourself to legal challenges with companies where the typo is effected. Especially if a small co. suddenly gets big.

Very wonderful post. Typo domain and domain tasting causing some problems. Thanks for your information.

too much extra work, and the stigma attached to it makes it an avoidable practice.

good article!

Excellent post. I recently wrote about typo domains too at http://tinyurl.com/343z98

One thing I didn't know was how much GoDaddy was participating in the practice...

Typo domains and domain tasting are causing a few problems within the domain registration business and not enough is spoken about them.

My understanding is that the automobile and consumer electronics niches are also great. (Speaking of which, I own newcardealership(s).ca - not typos, but when you look at the overture on those keywords, you realize there's some beautiful seo value in those domains :D.)

My thoughts? They're very profitable. I owned one where people looking for an airline and guessing at the domain typed my domain instead. Bought it for $500 from the guy who had it initially,. Made ~17 bucks in a few days if memory serves (lots of traffic!). Sold it to someone else for a $300 profit a few days later.
