Cybersquatting or Typosquatting

    Under Google Adsense Help Center, I notice this heading: "Cybersquatting" and how these type of sites are not allowed to run AdSense Code.

    I would assume that this website would be under that category.

    This isn't big news but I thought it might be interesting and I'm trying to contribute.

    I wonder where the line is drawn though... For example, if my-niche-keyword.com exists, and then I create my-niche-keywords.com, is this what they are talking about -- or does this just refer to something blatant, like htomail.com?

    I think they just grabbed that info from Wikipedia. But I sure agree with you about banning some of these sites.

    I think it's blatant typos.

    what is blatant? Everything is subjective.....Google has the final word. If you grow too big and too contraversial then you will get booted...

    I would imagine so. Anything which would get significant traffic.
