How do you reg a great typo?

[Invest1010]

I am looking to reg some good typos. I want to reg typos that recieve 10+ unqiues/day. What tools should I use to find a good one? If you found a good one that you oddly have not regged yet and want to help me out send me the name of that domain. Any other advice about buying the perfect typo will be appreciated.

Well, really, the way I do it is go to popular websites and see what typos I can come up with. This would mean, say I go to ebay.com. Then I would first see what possible letters can be mistake for the "e", and since "r" is close to "e", I would try that. If the domain is available, I would reg that.

Get the idea?

PM if you have any problems

also DomainTools has a typo generator that can sometimes help :

gives a lot of results although some definitely dont seem like they would be actual typos.

Best of luck!

Thanks guys. I have another question, which type of typos are the best:
Skip letter
Double letters
Reverse letters
Skip spaces
Wrong key
Inserted key
Phonetic key
?

I personally dont own enough typo sites to give you that answer, but to be honest, no one might even have that answer since typos are generally totally random, hence them being typos.... but maybe there is a more common type of typo but i am not sure. Would be good to know though.

Wouldn't that lead to TM issues? :o

Heres what I do.
Take the name you want a typo of, and open up notepad.

Type that name 50 times as fast as you can.

Copy and paste the whole list into a bulk search... and BAM!!
you have some typo's

Most typo sites lead to TM issues lol

There really isn't a good way around it....


And Invest, probably the wrong key typo is the best

Good topic, few experts and fewer still willing to share secrets. My favorite is the common misspell rather than a typing error. The ideal target word is a high search high bid generic that is difficult to spell. For example, target word: mortgage. "Morgage" is a great typo. It could be classified as a "skip letter" but a good chunk of the traffic is misspell.

Ye, great point. But it's rarer to get a domain where that can be done. Again, great point lol :blink:

OK, tm issues aside.....pick names that will pay well.

Let's say you want to reg a typo of a game name.....

Holo.com (instead of Halo.com) Well, understand that game sites don't pay well.

I personally like legal sites, or sites that follow on some recent settles class action lawsuit.

I have a couple legal sites and one class action site, and each one of those averages $1+ per click.

Makes other clicks for 1 cent or so look pathetic.

It'd be hard to, really. Thank domain tasting for that.

 

[wikes82]

does anyone ever consider finding typo based on other keyboard layout beside qwerty?
I like to use dvorak layout in the past (the right handed one).

with traffic tasting discouraged by google, does typo still have future?

The best way is too look at new websites that you know may be big soon, and get in on common typos before they get snatched up.

Here's an example. There used to be fairly large Online TV archive that got a fair amount of traffic. One day that site got shut down. The technology website Ars Technica did an article about the shutdown and mentioned a few alternatives. I picked out 2 good typos of one of the new sites starting up. And since these sites were "quasi legal" I didn't need to worry about any TM issues.

For the first few months I was receiving less than 5-10 hits a day on both sites combined. But in the last few months the traffic has increased greatly, and I am receiving over 300 hits daily.

I also recently had another pair of bittorrent typo domains that I sold getting 10k hits monthly.

I mainly look at new tech sites or filesharing sites and such. I look though news sites like digg, techcrunch, valleywag and places like this to hear about new sites launching that have good growth potential.
