Try Mistypes For A Chance At Cash - by Brian Pubrat

A while ago I was asked how common is it that people mistype words into their browsers or into search engines. I replied that it happens each and every day and probably a thousand times a second.

If you think about it, there are billions of searches conducted every day on the internet. It is inevitable that mistyped words will occur. Just this morning I misspelled the word 'mispell".

If you can focus on typos (misspelled words) for a moment I will show you a trick on how to profit from them. Let me explain.

A while ago I bought the domain name: www.loneofficers.com. Not loanofficers.com, but loneofficers.com. (The difference is the "ne" instead of "an" in the word: loan).

Here's how it happened.....

My friend was over and needed to use the computer. I happily obliged. He needed to find a loan officer for a new car he was about to purchase. This is when something interesting happened. When he went online he typed in "loneofficer" instead of "loanofficer" into the browser window. I couldn't believe it since my friend is very intelligent. But there it was, he misspelled the word "loan".

Now you tell me, if my friend misspelled the word how many others on the internet have done the same thing? Human error is inevitable. That's when I knew I had to see if "loneofficers.com" was available for registration.

I immediately took over the keyboard and discovered that the domain name was not registered. I quickly registered the name for only $6. Today I have that domain name 'parked' and every day people type-in this domain name into their browsers. Thankfully for their misspelling I make money. So far this $6 registration has made me hundreds of dollars and counting. A pretty good return for one domain name that was discovered completely by accident!
