Does a typo have to be .com

Does a typo have to be a .com or can you make money from .net and .info typo's

I have LOTS of typos and probably 90% of them are non-.COM. I gave up trying to find .COM typos because too many people are looking for them,it's too hard to find anything good.
I concentrate on all the other extensions,and yes,they make money just like .COM typos do.

I think not necessary to be a dotcom! You just want to attract some miss-spelling traffic! certainly dotcom will be better!

 

[Michelle]

Thanks guys :loveyou:

If both were available would you buy both just the .com or would you get the same amount of traffic from a .info. A .info is alot cheaper to buy so if it got the same traffic that would be better?

Typos can be anything but the popular ones are .coms

 

[Macke]

nope. depends on what typo you are aiming for. and ccTLD's are also an option

 

[Michelle]

Would you make the same sort of money from a cheaper .info typo or does the .com generate more

from my experience, a dot com typo with a certain ovt will receive more traffic than another tld with the same ovt score...cctlds are significantly lower in some cases from what i have seen...for example, a dot com with ovt score of 30 will generally receive more traffic/revenu than a dot us or dot ca or whatever with ovt of 30...

I'd like to change my mind that dotcom typo is the best one that will have most traffic than other extensions!

3 weeks into the game and I've learned my lessons about typos. I'd search for a popular .COM and register a typo based on it, i.e. you expect where they'd go after typing in the wrong address.

For example, pokerpagesl.com for pokerpages.com.

Make it .COM by default. Then if other typos are already taken, then that's the time to shift to the other extensions.

I don't think that it is a good idea to concentrate on .com. Most of the good ones I find aren't .coms. They convert the same and they are easier to find. Too many people trying to find .coms.

 

[Michelle]

Thanks guys all my questions answered :hearts:

I've got a few .info typos which actually get some traffic. Typos are universal :D.

 

[hanz]

Well, if there is big site with .info or .net domain, then you could get some hits, but I guess goodle.info doesn't get very many visits.

 

[Crusader]

Agreed. This typo was for some Quentin Tarantino site, heh.

 

[StudioWorks]

Hey,

Well I dont think that necessarly has to be a .COM but it sure is better.

One of the biggest sites for traffic on the net is TheHun.com or net.
I have Galleries listed there that eat around 50 gigs of BW a day.

TheNun.com used to get great traffic from typos as the n is right under the h..

i have a .net mistype that does ok in sedo, admittedly its a 5 letter domain, using a very popular (adult) term..Certainly a keeper, but i think this would be rare, like most people have stated, 90% would be .coms. In terms of securing mistypes, its best to keep up to date on the news and watch sites grow alongside topical news. Mistypes from very well known websites are basically all gone, or will cost you a pretty penny to buy.

Read up on the latest trends...look at the sites bringing news and views on those trends/topics, and take a stab on the ones you think will be popular..keeping in mind length of domain, and complexity..short .coms with easily mistyped domains.

If it has good keywords, it won't matter whether its a .net or anything else.
