Hey guys! I'm new to domaining and new to Namepros. I registered a few typos of popular sites. Can anyone please appraise these sites for me?

I got a few MySpace/Friendster ones:

httpmyspacecom.com
friend5ster.com
friend5ter.com
friendsterlcom.com

And also
neeopest.com
(a typo of Neopets.com, which gets over 12 million hits a month).

P.S.
Does anyone have any advice on typo sites? I own a few other typos as well, and they don't really generate a ton of traffic or ad sales. Are they really even worth it, or is it better to focus on registering generic words and short phrases?

Thanks a lot for the help!

usually typo domains are good if they generate type-in traffic and clicks. basicaly apprasial of typo domain is based on how much domain makes a month. if there is no traffic and no clicks, its not worth even reg fee.

My traffic of the MySpace/Friendster sites generate very little traffic and generate about $1 a week in Google Adsence revenue for me. I guess I could say it could potentially earn about $50 a year. I only paid like $36 to register the three of them for a year. One year net profit = $14 :(

after two weeks, the Neopets one hasn't made a cent.

Welcome to NamePros!
Interesting that you went for typos right off the bat.... why?
A couple of suggestions:
Before you fall into the same trap most newbies (including me) fall into... reg'n "ooooh, that sounds cool" names, spend some time in the Newbie forurm, also, if you havent already, visit the Welcome Center, introduce yourself and make some friends.. :)
As rfm stated, you tread thin ice with a couple of these, and outright infringment on a couple others.
There are lots of people making good money off TM typos, but IMHO, that will change soon.
I was reg'n 3 word phrases when it was literally laughed at as just plain dumb... in todays market, not much laughing now... except by me. :)

Good Luck,
Cy

I would stay away from Trademarked names and typos. Also typo names are only worth anything if they generate revenue and then its based on how much revenue. IMO its not worth the risk of owning a typo of a major TM name if you are only making $xx per year from it.

Sorry, but they're completely worthless, TM issues. I'd drop them & get my money back if you are within the 5 day period

typo domains are not bad,
make it well-developed with gaining the traffics.
I like and I think it worhth mid $xx at the start.
