How to monetize a Google typo domain?

    I own domain name gogole.co.ve and it receives 7 uniques a day in average - it's all 100% type-in traffic from Venezuela. I know, it's very little, but I beleive I could earn with it low $XX, or at least $X in a year. The domain was not expensive, I paid ~$25 for a 2-year registration, so I hope I could at least earn back my $25 on this domain in 2 years.

    Shall I build a no-content Google search box site? I mean something like gogole.de.

    Or, shall I build a content for the site and put some Google ads? But I've no idea what kind of content shall I create for this domain.

    What do you guys think? How could I make most $$$ of this domain?

    If the domain only received 7 visitors daily. It's hard to earn the reg fee in 2 years.

    Its a pop under program. You should cover your costs after about 2 years with them :)

    I don't like popups, they're annoying and therefore I wouldn't like to have any popups on my sites. Ads on my site would be OK, but no popups.

    Seriously it's not worth it unless you see the real domain growing enormously in the next two years. I have an unknown domain and it easely pulls 50 ppl a day and bearly pays for hosting. Maybe i don't have the right pop under company though.

    I am wondering about your domain name and Adsense application. The name looks like a misspelling of Google. With the kind of traffic you got, it will take a while. Search for a word in Venezuela that is similar to your domain name and build content around it. Then you get some affiliate running.

    I suggest you try to sell the domain for as much as you can. 7 visitors a day won't make you money.

    Yes, but no one wants a domain that has only 7 uniques a day. I've already tried to sell it on more forums.

    Any other suggestion on how to monetize it?

    yeah i agree with him. try to add some content maybe not really need to relevant to domain. when get some traffice and revenue just sell it. dont care much about domain it's the traffic and revenue that counts.

    Put some content (maybe some newsfeeds) and in the top put a google search form from adsense.

    Do you know of any venezuela search engines? I would propose to them a business deal to have it redirect to their site.. so these unique visitors can turn into long term users of their SE.
