    way too much. I wonder how many people mistype you as tou. I mean...you is 1 of the most common words you type in your computer, what are the chances of someone mistyping 'you'. (in the 5 you I typed right now, none is tou:))

    this domain had about 100k alexa. So that means about 1000 uniques a day! :D

    Ok, I guess I was wrong. ppl do mistype you, and a whole lot of them. 1000 uniques...probably earns $4-$20 daily from adsense if they parked it.

    The domain has alexa ranking around 100000, so I think the price is normal.
