Many site get traffic as well.

gmail.com and gamil.com

Typo error but wonder how much trafficthe site must get from this typo mistakes done by us.

mercury2k5

yes this is one of the ways many people use to get the traffic on their website..

There are many fake websites.

For example: There was E-Gold.com (It is actually E-Goid.com with capital i). It's not functioning now but couple of years it was functional. Also there was Hotemail.tk which looked like Hotmail.com

People are prepare to do anything to get traffic and even to phish you. The internet is becoming a jungle.

It's better idea for such big companies to register the typo domains so that others don't register it. For example, Paypal should register all paypla, pyapal etc for safety of their customers.

I like how gamil.com acknowledges the fact that most of their traffic is trying to get to gmail. Nice touch.

Yeah !!! seems like a pretty good way to some traffic on ones site .....

I think this way of getting traffic is illegal ...... this is not fair ......

There is nothing illegal about it. If you own a high traffic site it is up to you to protect your sites brand by registering as many typos and misspells as you can think of. The internet is the wild west and it's all fair game. This has been going on for years with adult websites.
