Lesson learned

[whitebark]

I learned a lesson I thought wouldn't happen to me. I found a great typo last night of a very popular Canadian website and thought I would wait until I was done school today to register it. Well, of course it was gone.

Never will I let that happen again. To the fellow from Belgium who grabbed it - &*#*^%! :smile:

Life is filled with lessons learned. Its better to learn sooner then later. Now when that better name comes along, you wont make the same mistake.

LOL - must be a mind reader too because I never said which domain it was! And your profile says Boston - last I looked Boston is in MA not NW Europe!

I almost registered 'acnefree' .ca last year, but went for 'adultacne' instead. Now I just read on the boards here that it gets a little type in traffic and good ppc. Developped it could probably do even better. The reason I didn't reg it was because I thought there was a trademark on that term, there is a product by that name but checking it out more now it might not be trademarked.

Is regging typos of sites a good idea? Can't they just end you up in a dispute anyway? The typos I like best is when the typo still spells a word, or it's just a matter or adding or taking away an 's' - plural.

What is the popular canadian site in question here?

I know Deluxe!

Hugegrowth - it was a canada dot com typo. And where did you read I got acnefree.ca?(edit - doh - I should read more closely to what is written before my beady little eyes!) I thought it was TM'ed too, but I like you don't think it's definitive at this point - rather generic term if you ask me. At three to four type-ins a day now and a great return per click it's not bad parked. It needs to be developed and I've gathered some articles for a simple site but it will have to wait until midterms are over.

I did reg a canada dot ca typo as well but it's not getting much yet.

saw the acne domain in a sales thread here, I guess it was your thread!
and yes, it does seem like a generic term. if I could go back I'd probably reg it now.

Does your adultacne get any traffic?
