How does traffic to typo/misspelled domains of existing paysites usually convert? - GoFuckYourself.com

pimplink · 10-07-2004, 02:36 PM

Example: mikesappartment.com - misspelling of mikesapartment.com. What are your experiences?

polish_aristocrat · 10-07-2004, 02:40 PM

The owner of this domain posted today on GFY, maybe he will see this thread, LOL.

Hal · 10-07-2004, 02:52 PM

fris · 10-07-2004, 02:53 PM

well it depends if you use your brain or not

If a guy types that in hes looking for THAT site not for a TGP not for a penis enlargment scam hes looking for THAT site, SO if you point to that site youll make bank if you just do what 90% of idiot webmasters do you will not sell shit.

BruceM · 10-08-2004, 01:38 PM

yep, just set up a redirect.

Of course, that's primary school stuff. It doesn't answer my question though - does anyone have actual stats?

ah come on, you know what I mean. Is it 1:10, 1:50, 1:100 or even higher?

I dont know.. if you type in mikesapartment.com you already know its a paysite and you've been there before.... you arent going back for the free preview.

Some surfers who make a typo are already members.
Some are just stupid and although they know it's a paysite, they hope they will get in for free.
Some get declined by credit card procesors.
Some are underage and cannot join anyway so they just click on free trailers.

so the ratio would be higher than 1:10.

Just my OPINION

pimpin · 10-08-2004, 03:56 PM

1:50 i'd say

the other 49 are people who are already members

spacemonk · 10-08-2004, 04:05 PM

There's 2 issues here

1) Typo squatting laws -- There's a US law against such practices.

2) Level of 'typo' -- There's a wired or some other online magazine article on this that you can pull up via google search. I don't have the exact url. But from what I remember the tip is:

The closer the typo is to the actual domain, the more effective your conversions. However, this also makes you more susceptible to 1) above.

lol

Pornsites don't care. You can't trademark a porn name either I don't believe.

Theo · 10-10-2004, 09:45 PM

usually below 1:150

Drake · 10-10-2004, 09:47 PM

I would think they don't convert very well. It's like typing in yaho.com instead of yahoo.com

If yaho.com goes to anything other than a search engine, the person will likely not be interested.

Is the revenue from mistyped domains really worth the trickle of traffic they get?

Drake · 10-10-2004, 09:50 PM

I guess if you're squating a name like mikessapartment.com and you're marketing mikesapartment.com it would convert decent. But would this most likely mean they're already members since they're familiar with the domain?
