Interesting read. I wonder how they determined that the typo domains are averaging 3.5 cents per visit.

They also say that of the typo domains showing Google ads, 63 per cent are using one of just five advertising IDs. In other words, the practice could be significantly reduced by knocking out just five ad accounts.

Now that this is out in the public realm - how long till they act?

They don't act - They are just busy minting money like there is no tomorrow.

They won't have time to bother about some one else!

First off, domainers are not idiots. They'll move domains to a different parking company if a parking company would go out of business, so obvious that logic doesn't apply here.

Secondly, those researchers are time wasters. They are not doing anything positive. Google the guy behind these statistics. He has done many statistics in the past and has not received many positive comments, mainly because he is way off base.

He has almost no experience in this field and trying to publish a very big report which is very inaccurate.
