Typo Squat Big Biz, Says Google

Domain experts estimate almost $500 million in typo derived revenue. Highlighting the problem is the 57% estimated to include PPC ads. This does not square with posted rules & regulations governing online usage of copyrights. A claim of concern is the following:

According to the report, typosquatters reg more names targeting co.s in sectors with high PPC prices. If PPC funding is encouraging typosquatting,   PPC payments are keeping them cycling on. Do Google’s payments put the system in motion? Domainers know squatters register domains exactly in anticipation of getting paid by Google. And Google knows where it’s showing ads.

Food for thought.
