About Typosquatting
The money Google makes from typosquatting has been in the news over the last week, with some asking what proportion of their incomes comes from typosquatters.
The money Google makes from typosquatting is likely to be huge, with a study estimating there are at least 80,000 domain names registered that typosquat on America’s 2,000 most popular websites. And 80 per cent of those typo-squatting domains are funded through Google AdSense.
In the US typosquatting is against the law following the 1999 Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) that prohibits anyone from “registering or using” domains misleadingly similar to a trademark or famous name.
