Fellow Domainers,
Lets post a few misspellings we've registered and what kind of traffic they get. That way we can learn from each other and know which kinds of misspellings are worth registering and which ones aren't.
Letter is wrong:
friendstur.com 1-4 typeins per day (friendster.com)
- I thought people would hear about friendster from a friend and think it was spelled with a u instead of an e. Seems to work but not as much as I would have expected from an Alexa top 100 name.
's' is missing:
mitbb.com 5-11 typeins per day (mitbbs.com)
- I thought people might forget the 's' since 's' often makes words plural and your mind might mix things up when trying to remember a name that you heard earlier. This is a top 100 Chinese Alexa site.
dot is missing between www and name:
wwwxicn.net no typeins (xicn.net)
- I thought they might forget the dot, but I guess not that much.
This is a top 100 Chinese Alexa site.
v instead of c:
vhinaren.com 1 typein every 2 days or so (chinaren.com). This is a top 100 Chinese Alexa site.
It looks to me like leaving the s off the end works the best. What have you guys found works the best?
