Very interesting reading about the survey of McAfee:
What’s In A Name: The State of Typo-Squatting 2007 http://us.mcafee.com/root/identitytheft.asp?id=safe_typo&cid=38296 |
Yeah, there's typosquad versions of almost any popular domain name; Also, unregistered .net or .org versions of domain names that have .com (and similar) are very popular. In particular when the domain name itself is not a trademark – but then again, domain grabbers do not really care about trademark infringement either. |
Thank you for this post! I already noticed this some time ago an thought that in fact google is spamming his own index by paying typo-quatters and spammers. |
Wanted to add this specific number from the McAfee report "Google-enabled advertising shows up on 19.3% of all suspected typo-squatter sites in this study." |
