Typo squatting can be quite a lucrative business. Lucrative that is until you lose your domains via a WIPO ruling.
One squatter had three typos of amazon.com:
amazoh.com, qmqzon.com and smszon.com
As is often the case with such practices the registrant had already been subject to a number of previous WIPO hearings…
Don’t they ever learn?
Of course the question I should be asking is whether it really is worth the hassle or not..
Two of the three Amazon domains have already been redirected to Amazon.com, while the 3rd is pointing to a fairly standard monetisation service.
If it’s really worth the hassle then maybe more people should be taking advantage of the opportunities…
