$9 & 2 Minutes of Work in Exchange for Thousands of Dollars

I’ve been a fan of exploring the misspelled online marketing scene, I know Kris Jones of Pepperjam has touched on this quite a bit as well with regards to PPC but there is NOTHING better than getting a small misspelled domain on a site that is HUGE.

I’ve touched on this in my post, “YouTube vs. uTube -$1,000 Per Day Similarity” That was actually unintentional but if you are lucky enough to get a great misspelled domain, you are going to make serious cash.

My latest finding, OOGLE.com. WOW, right? Yup, someone actually owns that and if you want to find out who so I don’t make it public here, just go to WhoIs.net and you’ll see for yourself, it’s not Google. So, what did they do to monetize this domain? Couldn’t be easier…a blank page that looks exactly like Google, throw up a search box (adsense), and a vertical adsense link bar, and its off to the bank (chi-ching.)

Domain name = $9.00
Time of Site Design: 2 Minutes or Less.

Oogle: 19,726 search per month (approx.)
Oogle.com: 33,296 search per month (approx.)
