0 instead of o? 4 instead of a? 1 instead of l?

[owntype]

Hi, guys

There are many 0 instead of o, 4 instead of a, 1 instead of l, 3 instead of e, even vv instead of w, kind of domains have been registered or developed.

I am curious without development, does such kind of domains has its market? I mean especially those strong keywords domain? anyone has experience of selling or marketing such kind of domains? the enduser are mainly individuals or companies? I received some opinion from experienced sellers in appraisal threads, and wanna see more input from you guys.

I reged L0TTERY.COM few days ago just for fun and yet have received $30 and $50 offers now (both individual domainers). That is higher than reg fee, quite happy, but I d like to keep it for self-development. At least it proved that yes, this kind of domains sometimes worth more than Reg Fee.

In my opinion 0 is good typo for o, I don't know about others, but I have Orange typo and I have some visitors which are looking to send sms to orange but they type 0range in search engine

Personally, I have never wrongly input a zero instead of o, but from the view of keyboard layout, it should be a good TYPO, also people may difficult to notice their mistake when input. But I don't know how good it is Would you share the TYPO status of your 0range.xxx? thx

Doesn't this fit into logonyms discussion? You may find this thread useful:

they "look" good, but not very high traffic typos.

I 'd rather think 2 means "To" and 4 means "For"

e.g, the domain 4answer.com means ForAnswercom

I think the value in these domains really lies in either development or an interested end-user.. I own a few such domains myself and rather than sell for a quick $50, would rather develop them. When I see the domain erection.com is valued at $650k, I think my logonym of the domain should be worth more than $50 undeveloped or developed.. the sky could be the limit.

At first I wasn't too enthused about their possibilities but I can see a definite value for some.

Then again, 4merican.com (available!) would be a great snag if you intend to develop it. You can easily imagine the logo using a furled flag to replace the "4" in the domain..

In your examples owntype it looks like the type of domains you are on about are the ones that spammers and phishers use to fool people into thinking the site is the real site for example if someone sent you a PAYPAL looking email and they had the links go to P4YPAL or paypa1 when quickly scanning you may not notice that it is leading you to the wrong site.
