Typo traffic is valuable because it is usually targeted. If someone owns a myspace content site (avatars, templates, codes, etc.), the people trying to visit myspace.com by visiting myspaces.com would probably be willing to stay a few minutes and see what they have to offer. Another reason it is valuable is because typos can be "parked" at pages that just display ads. Choose the right keywords for a parking page, and the actual site they are trying to get to may be linked to by the ads. If this happens, the visitor will most likely just click that ad, rather than retype the address, thus earning you cash.
