How many searches does it take for you to have a punt?

[Sparhawke]

I was randomly looking around at some typos domains earlier and I got to wondering, I know some people have some but how many searches do you look for to actually go for it and see if anything transpires?

1000?

10,000?

10?

I know searches in Google don't really mean anything to this question as the whole point of type-ins is to avoid it, but what would be a good number?

(Please move this topic if it is in the wrong place)

I thought typo domains are so 1998?

Try asking this in the .CO thread

Traffic is traffic, and quality at that if it's natural type-in traffic. Not doing something simply because it's out of fashion would be foolish.

I don't know if this is related to your question but i own buisness.info what is kind of a typo of business.info (lol)... i get 96.4 % of direct type ins and have an average of around 40 UV's a month(nothing there, used to have a link script there ages ago and averaged around 240 a month)

Now, do i support typos? no actually but when i bought this domain in a drop in 07 i thought i had the real deal (ok, i have to admit being a foreigner AND being drunk at that time didn't help LOL)

now, when i had the link script installed i made some adsense income(not including numbers here since the adsense kings would laugh) but is it worth it to keep this domain?

I think yes, with some effort(what i lack of) there could be some money made since the numbers of direct type ins are pretty high i think....and, a lot of people don't know how to spell business...LOL

(now speaking of, i need to do something asap with this name!!)

cheers
