- nexuist 5y agoPretty common strategy. Facebook owns facebok.com, Apple owns aple.com, Google owns gogle.com, etc. Scammers try to buy domains that sound or type similar to legitimate companies (practice known as "typosquatting") and use this to fool customers into thinking they're on the real website. One easy way to combat this is to just pay up and buy all the domains that are "closely typed" to your real one and have them all redirect to your property.
- philliphaydon 5y agoAbout 10 years ago a friend showed me Google ad words and Google analytics. He could see miss-spelling searches sometimes ending up at his site. He purchased about 20 domains and adwords of different miss spellings and his traffic went up about 35% on his site.
