how very convenient that 'typosquatters' are now known as 'domainers'

Wow this article is very poor,

"The ''domainers'' run ads on the misspelt websites and get paid up to $20 a click by the advertisers"

CPC on brand terms is very low, I would love to know what ad programs he is referring to?

Very poor quality "journalism" with too many mistakes of definitions. Other than that I dont think too many experienced "domainers" are wasting their good money registering mispellings any longer.

It makes sense a business would register some mispellings as often people do typos. For once Bruce at Melbourne IT is right about something.. But why does the media always ask for Melbourne IT's input and judgement? They still chargeover $99 a .com.au domain name dont they ( Ventraip.com.au is 20% of that price at $19.95!!) Maybe the media need to do a story on that!

''You would be amazed at the number of people who appear to have nothing else to do than sit around and try to come up with misspellings,'' Mr Disspain said.

''If somebody is frequently typing the misspelling and ends up on a site where they get distracted, then potentially the corporate could lose that customer.''

Mr Disspain, if someone wants to sell cheaper airfares in front of Qantas HQ, on a public street, are you going to stop them too?

Probably because they were the pioneers of domain registration in Australia.

Im not sure if they still are, but I know they use to be a commercial arm of Melbourne University too.

What a load of cock.

I'm sure I read a similar article like this back in.. 1998. The journo is writing like it's some brand new technique. Still, it's not as bad as the rubbish Ben Grubb from tech section on SMH.com.au gets to publish. Him and Asher Moses are the biggest scum bag tech "journos" around.

You have to wonder why the comments are closed on an article like that..

It's a shocker.

Cracking down? I don't think auDA have ever been as 'hands off' as they are now.

LOL - reminds me of TRAFFIC downunder when MIT did a presentation on the state of the .au aftermarket. Poor Kartic had to ramble on with authority for an hour when they hadn't ever sold a single .au domain!

They do it because it can be extremely lucrative. Not condoning it but it's not because they don't have anything better to do - it's for the $$$

Indeed.


What a load of crap. Saw it in the printed papers too (SMH) so it would have gotten plenty more readers now equating domainers with typosquatters...
