To Crookie and all the others contributors greetings.
All you have contributed is fine and dandy, but not only it doesn help me out of the ditch I fell into by lack of concentration but I am more confused now.
This is the situation.
First step I registered a Domain with GoDaddy
Second step I parked (or thought I parked) the registered Domain at Sedo.
Only to find out that I made a typo and Sedo is now investigating, for over a month, a Domain name that as far as I am concerned doesnot exist.
I parked the Domain with its correct spelling with Sedo.
Now I have a genuin Domain and a non existing (not registered) Domain with a appelation that doesnot make sense. Picture GRANG instead of GRAND, who in his/her right mind will view that Domain?
What can I do? What will you do?
Thank you

If you accidentally registered a typo and it's been past 5 days since you've done so, it's too late to get a refund. All you can really do is park the typo you registered and hope it gets some traffic and makes some money back. Otherwise you're out the $8 registration fees. No biggie. I've never done that myself but I've registered names hoping they had traffic and they wound up having none, and the quality of the names was horrible. I've since learned my lesson, but it's safe to say everyone's had at least 1 registration they wish they could have taken back.

Good evening Crookie

Thank you for your answer.
I registered a domain, no typo and paid for it. Then I tried to park it at Sedo and made a typo. Sedo grabs it. Sedo grabed also the domain I paid for.
I never pay anyone for the domain with a faulty orthograph. It only bother me to have my stupidity under my nose each time I open my Sedo account that's all. Don't worry my good friend.
Pilgrim

That's me again the lumbering Pilgrim trying to get some usefull knowledge.
Crookie teach me please the difference beetwen

PARKING
If I learn that I will be one step closer to the end of my long jouney
Thank you

Pilgrim, you're posting on a forum.

A blog is centered around 1 person/company's thoughts and comments, with other people making response comments. Oftentimes they are like journals. Forums are like people sitting around and discussing things, not centering on 1 person. Hope that helps!

The ccTLD dont matter , while the website gets alot of traffic by checking ovt W/Ex for that website if it is a good ovt scor , it dont matter the ccTLD , but one thing do not forget to set a keyword maching the continent of that website that way you get some clicks

Question ?

Guys,
please explain the concequences of the registering the domain that sounds like TM-ed one or is missing one letter (i.e. RobynThompso(n).com - missing n, and BobynThompson.com - Bobyn vs. Robyn).
As far as i understand, I am not using the exact word that was TM-ed, so there shouldn't be a problem. But i may be mistaken...
Please explain!

Thank you !

Well, I guess I just can't understand why one can't register a domain-typo of the TM'ed name. Technically, noone owns rights on the typos...
Just thinking loud....

TM owners can go after those infringing upon their name on the basis of the infringer's name being "confusingly similar", hence it covering typos as well. Not all TM holders will try to go after typo holders just like not all of them go after names that have their TM'd term in them (like Microsoft not going after XBox domains), but because they can, the names can potentially be worth nothing but headaches. So in general, it's best to steer clear of TM names...let someone else take the risk and go for typos on sites that aren't TM'd. There's plenty of them around.

Hi. I'm interested in this typo business, but I'm missing some concepts.

What is EXT? I want to buy some mispellings and missing letters for a ccTLD domain that has over 8m visits monthly, though I suspect half of that traffic is from redirected domains.

Also it's a 6-letter domain so available mispellings and transpositions aren't that much.

I hope you can answer that questions, thanks.

ext = tld

cctld is ok while you are sure the website gets traffic , about rediderction domain to one domain even if the owner did that , that dont count when u check ovt with ext because the ovt score does count just the typein for the domain you are checking , about the 6 letters check all the misspellings if some are available

How much monthly OVT score do you consider profitable to purchase a typo domain?

I'm a newbie too but if you see a good quantity of searches for Blue Square Poker, chances are it can get good visitors if you SEO the domain rather than waiting for type-ins

A developed .net will generate much better typo traffic for .com's than the opposite scenario.

If you're looking for typo traffic, register .com's. Unless the site you're targeting is a .net, than .net's typos will work well too.

hard to say but if the people goes to that website which is the original , then it is better to try to get typos from that name Ex bluessqpoker.com or a missing letter.... they are better then giving the sq what it means ,

if you are new and want help on typos look at my tool i am using at my signuture that will help you alot for typos and ovt scores , that is what i am useing
