I agree with this. However, something that's been on my mind lately about these alt words... The people who use them are currently between the ages of 16 to 25ish, most of which are of the college age bracket, or soon to be. Many of whom possess credit cards, and look at porn.
I blame the MySpace generation for these travesties to our grammatical destruction, but the fact remains... Google has alt spelling results just as it has standard spellings, and someone who actually uses the alt versions, would identify with a site that speaks their language, which might lead one to believe that they are an easier sale on such a domain.
Just some thoughts on the topic.
