I may be invloved with the purchase of a mis-spell of a generic domain. By generic, I mean a common used term in the Enlgish language, with a clear meaning. By generic domain, I could be speaking of paper.com, cup.com, book.com, schedule.com. This is not one of the domains, I just want to show that I mean a generic dictionary term.
At any rate, this domain is a common mis-spell of the generic term. The generic term is obviously already owned in the .com, and the traffic is sent to a Pay Per click page which is similar to what I would do.
Is there any risk at all here involved with a mis-spell of a generic domain whereas the generic domain is only re-directing the traffic to PPC advertisers.
Thanks, and the sooner you can help me out, the better!
Not much risk, the way you describe it. Not all typos get traffic, though. Be sure that the generic that is misspelled is not registered as a trademark, though. That ups the risk.
I know that not all typos get traffic, but this one does. Now you said be sure that the generic that is mis-spelled is not registered as a trademark. How could I find out that generic.com is not a registered trademark? And is it generic.com that I need to look for a trademark on or is it just the generic term?
thanks
