sorry, hope i wasnt out of line in the the thread,
I was very careful not to say they don't have commercial value as clearly they can.

My point, however, it is easy to inflate traffic figures and even Overture. It can therefore be awfully difficult to establish, whether what one is buying into is actually a genuine Typo or a Manufactured Typo.

I know that other types of domains are also potential targets for such abuse, but with a Typo it makes obtaining a credible hoax very easy. Just get any slight deviation from a top generic, pump the traffic that way, do some searches from an anonymous proxy and bingo, you have a very sellable domain.

Sorry, but if I was interested in the Typo market, I would research my own and new reg it. If it were genuine then the returns from traffic should justify the reseach and expenditure, without making a resale.

Humbug!
