Pool.com “Top Deleting Domain List For Friday”: 26 Out of 30 Are Facebook.com Typo’s
We just got our list of “Top Deleting Domains For Friday January 27th” from Pool.com and as you can see 26 out of the 30 domain names listed are typo’s of Facebook.com
I know these lists are auto generated based on the number of back orders placed for a certain day but come on guys, can’t someone just eyeball it over at Pool.com before sending it out to everyone in the mailing list?
And before we lay too much blame at Pool.com lets not forget they wouldn’t be on the list if no one back ordered them.
The fact is that there people still trying to get a hold of these typo domains.
And not only at Pool.com but also at NameJet.com (see below)

Is there someone here who has a large set of typo domains?
I would love to hear how much money these generate and how many you lose etc. Just an overall view of how the business model works.
You can post here under a different name and use a proxy, but I guess you of all people know this right.
I like finding out the business models of different shadow industries and always interact with scamsters to see how much they make.
The “prince has died and left $60m in a bank account” email guy I spoke to made $1,500 a month but said there were people making more than him.
The “rent this too good to be true apartment for $1,000 a month” guy that I spoke to said he was making $4,000 a month and showed me how they have an international network working together.
The “time to register your domains on search engines for $400″ guy isnt talkative
Love to get the low down on typos, maybe you can do an interview with domain sherpa with a mask on like that tv magician that shows everyone the secrets in magic.
The only way to make money parking a domain name, is if you bought it before 2000 or you buy typos.
There some new opps with gtlds…
Typos on trademarks require standing in the shadows, but as I understand it typos on generic keywords are fair game. Anyone know any different.
Well the good news is they are dropping
The line is drawn at usage, so Pool.com has no obligation to determine how the winning registrant intends to utilize the domain. Otherwise, if you argue that Pool.com has a responsibility, then why not extend that logic to Verisign, ICANN, etc.
@UDRP – They’re promoting these domains via their e-mail list. They should at least hand pick the list. I have seen them promote TM domains so many times.
Gnanes – FaceBookAddiction.com is dropping too, so should Pool.com exclude that domain as well?
“FaceBook Addiction” is a real recognized problem, and someone specializing in social media addiction issues would legitimately deserve to own and use that.
A buddy of mine hand reg’d hostign.com – a great, generic typo domain. I have no idea of the value but could get the traffic stats for you if you are interested in typos. Im sure he would be willing to work out a deal.
Trademarks concern me, as one who doesn’t have much experience, I have little interest in these names. On a similar note, I have a domain that I value, htpcreviews.com. I failed to develop it and now somebody has gone and developed htpc-reviews.com, grabbed the Facebook /htpcreviews and the Twitter for this name. He is ranking well (# 1 for htpc reviews) because the keyword is somewhat uncompetitive. The search traffic is good, 2400 local monthly according to Google, on a term that represents a fair value product, anywhere from $500 to $2000 per system.
My question is, I am quite certain I can develop the site and rank alongside him, but has he established any trademark? Nobody has filed for trademark but my understanding is that using the name in commerce establishes rights in a sense. However, this is a generic phrase, htpc is generic in all senses, as is reviews. His articles suck, he is out for the traffic and the ad sense revenues, I don’t blame him, but competing with him would not be difficult. I have the better domain.
I also have hometheaterpcreviews.com – both hand reg’d.
And, for those interested, you can go hand register htpcreview.com right now, it is available, if you do and are interested in my names, I will sell them cheap.

So what would be a non-infringing use of these domains:
facebhook.com facebiik.com facebiook.com
facebnook.com facebpook.com
Not being able to come up with what those domains could be legitimately used for doesn’t automatically mean they are infringing. Each domain deserves a due process determination based on registration combined with usage.
Otherwise, why not argue that Verisign put a typo filter on all .com/.net registrations that resemble famous marks? That is utterly draconian.

I’m saying the handwriting is on the wall, we either police obvious issues ourselves or the government will do it for us in a SOPA, PIPA, Snowe Bill or some other form
Someone recently launched http://www.Twatter.com.
Is it fair to say that http://www.Twatter.com is infringing on Twitter without due process?
The problem is once they police it even lightly, they’ll be expected to police everything and make sure no TM names show up on that list. Not that that’s a bad thing but that’s probably why they’ve avoided it thus far.
should pool be liable?
they are after all profiting from the sale of what looks like trademark infringing domain names.
read the acpa and ask yourself whether, in the spirit of that law, pool should be liable.
if you think they should be exempt, please explain why.
also explain why, if an exemption applies, we should not all become middlemen for trademark typo domain names.

Where art thou?
Brad miller raises a question asked on another editorial about leap list.
Brad in your case the domain is so descriptive I cant see anyone arguing against the usage of it as a review site regardless of who was first.
The leap list case would be far more interesting because of the fact that the ads displayed are automotive and yet there is no link, of the term to cars, other than that generated from the company that would claim infringment, Honda.
Love to get some past cases as reference on this.
MHBs comments about policing the net are true, in my mind anyway. You have to wonder if domainers had a better reputation for being above board if there would be less UDRPs brought and less non obvious TM domains won by companies.
yes people backorder them, stupid IMO but they do.
I don’t think namejet or pool should be marketing them actively though.
As for generic typos they do work, I have Hostign.net
$0.69
last 30 days 124 type ins and 36 clicks but almost no money
I guess I should set up an affiliate site an make a few more bucks.
I’ll try to get one like these.
@rajat one like what? a facebook typo domain? its a waste of money IMO
but … who can write “fadcebook” instead of “facebook”?
“Berryhill -
Where art thou?”
Same place as ever. Once in a long while, I actually manage to get some work done.
“but … who can write “fadcebook” instead of “facebook”?”
Some guy named Ismail Fadce who runs a bookstore? There are something like a billion internet users.

Saw Twatter.com yesterday think that different than most of the one’s above.
A few people have approached me about doing the same thing with a domain I own shitter.com
In both cases they are at least a word.
“The only way to make money parking a domain name, is if you bought it before 2000 or you buy typos.” DCMike
The before 2000 part is obviously false. I pick up names on the drop that make money parked regularly.
The typo part is true, for one worders and very popular terms especially. Anyone participate in the DomainFest parking contest? Some of the top earners in Oversee’s portfolio of 1000 were typos like Restraunt.com and ADHTE.net (or something like that).
@ Tony
Can you give us the list that you speak of? Or a link. I would love to see the results.
Half of facebook typo auctions had been cancelled today via snapnames , I wonder who gonna be the new owner of these names and why the rest remain active?
