We are doing our darnedest to establish domain name ownership as a credible, legitimate, and utilitarian industry - but TMs, or domains likened to them, have the effect of blemishing the whole industry. I've attached a link from Sedo.com's "domain law" section to elaborate and keep you out of trouble.
http://www.sedo.com/legal/index.php...id=&language=us

The important thing is to know that buying and selling domain names is perfectly legal, as long as the domain being sold does not infringe on the trademark rights of a third party. Today, the vast majority of domain investors operate within this legally-acceptable territory. However, in some cases a domain owner is unaware of, or chooses to ignore, the legal constraints. Fortunately, in these cases, a trademark holder has numerous channels for addressing their ownership dispute. These resources are described below.

Domain name sellers should be aware that it is their responsibility to ensure that their domain name is free from possible trademark infringements before listing it for sale. Ignorance of the law is no excuse! Use the links and information provided here to inform yourself about your rights and the legalities governing domain name ownership to reduce the risk that you will lose your domain.

Trademark holders should be aware that possessing a trademark for a given term does not automatically mean that you have a legitimate legal claim to a domain name. Possession of a valid trademark is only one of three requirements that you need to meet to win ownership of a domain name via ICANN's Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), the policy governing ownership disputes for the generic TLDs (.com, .net, .org, .biz, and .info) or the U.S. Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (15 U.S.C. sec. 1125).

Just as important are the requirements that (1) the domain registrant have no legitimate interests in the domain and that (2) they evidenced bad faith in registering the domain. Both elements require evidence beyond the mere registration of a domain. Please take the time to inform yourself about the UDRP and other legalities governing domain names using the resources provided below.

Before you make a complaint, make sure that you have consulted a qualified trademark attorney with experience in domain names. Legal disputes should generally be considered a last option: the cost for a UDRP case is $1,500 plus legal expenses, and there is no guarantee that you will win (for a complete schedule of UDRP fees, click here).

If you sue and lose, your chances of then being able to purchase the domain from the current owner is greatly reduced. In addition, frivolous UDRP claims against domain owners can result in a finding of reverse domain hijacking - a practice in which trademark holders engage in a bad-faith attempt to use the UDRP to wrongfully strip the legitimate registrant and user of a desired domain name simply because the complainant holds a trademark in that name or one similar to it.



Just to add a little, many USA residents arent aware a TM holder can sue for 100,000 in damages if someone is using there TM as a domain or obvious typo
of it.Some companies are just starting to go this route.

I would disagree I have 5 generic typos that pay the reg fee for my 200 names, none of them get more than 5 visitors a day but google ranks typos high in the search for the misspelled word.

Have people had success with parking non TM'ed wwwkeyword.com typos?

What can expect in terms of traffic? 5% of traffic of www.keyword.com?

Any info about your experiences with this would be appreciated.

Thx!

What other features in http://www.domainscrub.com could be useful ? I'm preparing a laundry list so I can update the site as time permits.

Happy holidays

Well I dont really see that L there as a good typo. I mean if it was VMNN or VMNM or VMM or something it would have been a great typo. Just look at your keyboard and tryi typing the domain name like a 5yr old and you will get it

Do overture scans still work? I don't think there's any typos worth picking up anymore, the search for them is so saturated that makes it an almost futile enterprise. I could literally scan all day and find nothing. If I DO find something, it's usually a country domain that charges like $$$+. Typos are dead.

I had a typo from .co.au it was taken from me! Paid $30 (or so) for it, I pretty much made about that much back before it was taken from by the .co.au people, not sure who. They took my domain and my registrar supended me for some reason. oh well

My guess is that they strictly protect the domain registrants, its an investment in money and time, and if you just go and register a typo you would be making a profit on someone else effort, if they dont allow it by their ToS as soon as they know what u r doing they will knock u down.

I've recently been able to register typos that have immediately gotten 30+ uniques a day, recently as in within the last 2 months. You have to know where to look, and beat people to the punch obviously.

I will say though that to get any REALLY good typos anymore, you have to be really early on them. I have an adult typo getting over 100 uniques a day, but at the time I first knew of the main site enough to get the typo, it had just been launched maybe a month or 3 weeks or so before, and had really jumped up in Alexa but still in maybe the 5,000 - 10,000 Alexa rank range and my typo was getting about 20 uniques a day. Now the site is in the 800s and still going up. So it was snapping the opportunity AND more or less getting lucky on the site doing well. Still though, you can't expect to spend 5 minutes a day looking up typos and finding really good ones. It takes research.

WordTracker, but honestly in getting typos now, the only place I use anymore is Alexa. And I'm sure 90% of people trying to get typos using Alexa would fail because there's a certain science to it. I have one typo of a non TM'd 5-letter .com site that I got not too long ago (couple months maybe) that is paying me about $2 a day that I got using Alexa. And the typo I got has no Alexa rank.
