I read that Ham was outed as a big-time typosquatter. Made lots of cash at it. Now tries to paint himself as legit and a high-roader. "What? All that typosquatting? Me? Oh, that was a long time ago." Ron Jackson likes to highlight these types as role models for domainers. It's a slobbering love-fest about desperation, squatters, third-world countries and their respective business practices. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/industry-news/599464-michael-berkens-untold-story-behind-best.html Perhaps Ron Jackson should just come right out and say, "Don't you be buyin' no toilet paper Mr. Ham, I will licks ya' clean wit' my own tongue." | ||||

| Nah Ham doesn't really typosquat as much as the other guys do. oversee.net, navigation catalyst, etc.. these guys are the real squatters BTW the fact is, Most Successful domainers today with killer generic portfolios financed it with their TYPO domains from the past. that's the roots of domaining. can't hate the playa, hate the game.
