advice Misspelled words

[Boris Kingston]

So are domains that are purposely misspelled after actual words valuable?

Like is sleeeve.com valuable?

 

[Candace]

Shhield recently reported sold by @Dnbolt on DNBolt.com

I wonder if the buyer liked the silent "Shh" behind the Shhield purchase. Sorta like a stealth like shield.

Yup, I saw that Grilled. It belong to Keith. @nomen

Depends on your definition of "valuable"..my opinion..if I can flip the domain before registration fees are due and make a profit (small or large)..it profitable! If I believe that I can make good money holding onto the domain for a few years, then to me it is valuable (and profitable of course).

Of course. I only own one "typo" domain, one of my first buys. Lots of great traffic till Google "corrected the spelling" in the address bar. That domains pays for it registration (plus) so I keep it as a parked page.

Just couple of days ago NOOTE.com was sold on SEDO for 4K Euros

It actually depends on the domain name

All I see is a five letter brandable..

coasterr, etherr, smasherr, slumberr, reboott, easilyy, richlyy, monthh, skirtt, endearr, chicck, recyycle, shhield, luucid, shaapely, saltyy, mightt, recentt, and many many more......all in com, all on BB. @Dnbolt reported the BB sale of creatorr.

P.S. Because they are on BB doesn't mean they will sell.

kinda fond of domains with "z" at the end..coasterz,
rebootz.. skirtz

Wondering what kind of typos are generally more common (=valuable):

1) Skipped letters (nampros)
2) Reversed letters (namerpos)
3) Double letters (nameproos)
4) Wrong letters (namepris)
5) Additional letter (namedpros)

My feeling says it's 2 - 3 - 1 - 4 - 5

I guess it's highly dependent on the word (letter combinations, their layout on the keyboard), but couldn't find any info, though. A penny for your thought?

It's difficult for me as an Englishman. A lot of American words come over as typos - "center" for example. This shows that English typos can be real words in english derivative languages, or in other languages.

Well, I rather meant typos generated by direct type-in mistakes, than specific regional spellings.

I think that the actual trend it's more about a mistake that sounds catchy and with which you can create a brand with, not about general type-in traffic. I don't think that there are to many end users willing to pay xxxx for a misspelled, just if they want to create a brand, like 'guuru' humann' ,smiile', I think that if you count on direct traffic, you will be very disappointed.

I'm whether a lawyer nor probably within the same jurisdiction than you.

But personally I would strongly differentiate between common word/vocabulary typos and companies/trademarks.

Of course they overlap sometimes (more and more)

I would predict more headache on
santandr
then on
pullovr (if that's not some cool 44 mil .io startup.. )


*all names are freely invented by the time of writing.

* ups. sorry. pullovr indeed is a existing site/company .. domains etc..

Yeah. Hate when big G treats me like a child by correcting my intended inputs (albeit sometimes handy).

Overall I guess that I am more correcting G's correcting then the other side.
