Problems due to google typing errors

smarty · 03-09-2007

I some times by mistakely type googol or googlr or whatever near that Google...the resulting websites are with many popups that contain viruses..

So please be careful while going to Google

THought it was my duty of informing

Many of you must have already noticed it..

I too faced many problems while doing this, typing the google as gogle.com makes a hell of problem!

Ya i find it sad that people have to do that. I watched a video on youtube of a site that was gooogle.com or something very similar and it was endless pop-ups i tried the site now and it is fine but i think it must have been crazy seeing all that pop-up on the screen and most likly crashing the persons computer.

Ill post the link to the video if i ever find it again.

I did this for the first time yesterday, after several years of going to Google, I mispelled it. I got so many pop ups that I had to CTRL-ALT-DEL. Thankfully I got it next time

I did this once or twice to different websites, some people target the most common misspellings and try to put some ads on there. Others will make a site that looks just like the real one and try to get your information. Just make sure you are on the right URL before putting in any information.

I have misspelled google several times but luckily I haven't run into that problem. But I know now to be very careful. Thanks

One such I visited was gamil<dot>com.
What I liked about them is that they accepted the fact that you have landed on there website my misspelling "gmail"
I didn't face any problem with that site and I think not all such sites are fraudulent.

Right, I have found this the case on many sites! They recieve millions of hits a day because of people's mistakes while trying to type in a very popular address!

i occasionaly type domainaddresses wrong and i end up in adult directories which have several keywords for searching.

I hate websites that have a lot of pop ups.You just cannot find your way around it and they may crash your browsers.
