With my affiliate code in of course

Seems to me it shouldn't be considered as typosquatting cos I'm not trying to sell it to the company in question, I'm not selling a competitors products and infact I'm driving traffic to their site that may of otherwise of got pissed off and gone somewhere else.

What's you take on this?

Let me ask you this: If you were the company in question and you had spent millions of dollars branding your company would it be ok with you if someone came along and started capitalizing on your efforts/investments?

If you (or some other typosquatter) hadn't been using the domain the surfer would have gotten a 404 and realized they misspelled it and typed in the correct spelling.
