Worth registering...?

[jehnidiah]

Heya,

I found a phrase that has ~5,000 ovt that is a very common mis-type (not misspelling, but mistype.. hard to explain) of a website. The real/main website is in the top 60k on Alexa. Is it worth the 6.95? Do you think I'll get some hits, with the exact phrase (minus the .com) getting 5000 or so ovt?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone have any input?

There are alot worse ways to spend $6.95.

Good-luck,

Its not always good to try to get someplace off someone elses back. You may think missss-tyyyped words of another website may help but you also got to think of several things.

1) If I want to buy a product/service from the REAL company I am not going to buy from you because you have a name like the real company. Fact is I want to buy what I want PERIOD !!

2) The company may have a copyright even on the missss-tyyyped domain name. A huge amount of companies do this and they dont register the domain name because they know they have a copyright on it as their name then all they have to do legally is take it off you for FREE without paying a cent.

3) If you try to sell the same thing the REAL website does and they have a copyright ( registered ) on the name then you are in violation of copyright laws because you are trying to look like the REAL website. Even if you are not trying on purpose to look like the REAL website judges look at it that you are.

4) Think up something NEW and DIFFERENT that nobody else has and there is a need for and you will have your best success.

5) Alexa Means Nothing At All Because I can show you where I get more traffic then what they say I do. Alexa can also be cheated !!!

Just my point of view from 13 years online
