Most of them are too lazy to use a dictionary, preferring instead to force me to waste my time and energy trying to figure out what they are trying to say ! How many times have you read 'would of' 'or could of' and wanted to tare your hare out ! Allot I bet ! Now with typosquitting I can get my own back ! Thank you God for all those lazy parasitic indivduals you made in Your infinite wisdom who think speling words corectly is just to much effort. They annoy me intensely and I have no sympathy for them whatsoever. Thank You also for all those people who never bothered to learn to touch type. How many times have the great unwashed looked at me askance when I have had the temerity to point out their disgraceful and totally avoidable spelling misteaks. At last I have a means of propheting from their stupidity and laziness - Hallelujah ! I knew God had a plan. Go forth and make money from the lazy and the purveyors of advertising. Long may I prophet from it. What gose around comes around. Do they ever consider purchasing a dikshonary ? No ! Do they even bother using a spelchecker ? No ! I spell the way I like they fume, who are you to disrespect my lazy ass ? Do they consider that way lies madness, where "words mean what I want them to mean no more and no less" ? No ! Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war. Get a life they cry ! God made typosquatters to force the middle classes to educate their youth better instead of telling them anything goes. Do your own thing the pinko liberals preach. Ten out of ten for the effort of turning up to skool, whether you actually learn anything is irrelevant you can speak and right however you like nothing matters, as long as you're having phun. Well the result of all this wishy-washy liberalism is typosquatters ! Don't blame us we are merely here to draw your attention to the lack of standards you have created. Thak you and good night. :-) I have always found people who make spelling mistakes irritating in the extreme.

The average small business owners cannot afford to register any possible typo to their domain names just for the sake or getting the few missed clicks. Only big companies can afford it.

When creating a new brand one can create a brand new word to go with the concept, but with older more established brands it makes sense to cover the potential typo slips Very valid point being raised here…another shout for adhering to the “keep it simple” train of thought when talking URL’s.

In addition, the best way to avoid a squatter is to pick a domain name that is easy to spell and easy to remember.

I think it is always better to register all the extensions and typos to prevent squatting. Today the domain costs are like peanuts and they are worth investing.
