Ones with traffic and revenue = good.
Without = bad

I don't look for them unless I've got a free (or very cheap) domain name coupon and don't have anything else in mind to register...which is rare.

They are a risk, though what isn't.

If you're really looking for typos, most of the current good ones are taken. So, try to keep in touch with what sites are increasing in popularity and get typos of those. Be careful though, typos of trademarks can get you in trouble. Don't go for typos that are way off, try to stay with a one letter difference (and those letters being close on the keyboard to each other).

There are people here, though, who are much more into typos than I am. I only have one that I may continue to carry.

Typo domains are good or bad, that would depend on the popularity of word whose typo you wish to register. Also if you happen to register one, look out for Trademark issues.
