Popular Domain Name Mispellings ?

    Do misspelling a popular domain name bring good traffic? or do they sell good? like if you only switch 2 letters in a domain, or add an extra letter to the end?

    examples would be..

    myspcae.com
    yuotube.com
    youutbe.com
    msypace.com

    are these good for domain parking or are they good for anything ?

    Yes, you can definitely make money from typo domains. Some people make their living this way. However, nowadays it is virtually impossible to find good typo domains that aren't already registered, and if the domain you are registering a typo of is a trademark, you run the risk of legal trouble down the road as well.

    it's the easiest way to make money, it's the dark side of domaining.

    But parking them can be risky, if the violated trademark appears in the ads you can have legal problems.
