Congratz, DU... your mistyped domain name demcraticunderground.com

[henslee]

has been bought by a speculator. wonder how many other typos are gobbled up.

[Midlodemocrat]

1. ?

[henslee]

2. I think i clarified. Sorry.

[anarch]

3. do people actually successfully sell, like, advertising space and stuff

on pages like that? :wtf:

[henslee]

5. Not sure but I remember accidntly typiing dudgereport or caigslist and

getting actual websites. Go figure.

[Angry Girl]

6. A lot of them have search engines

And those get some small amount of money for every search. I guess if you get a gazillion hits, some small percentage will search. Register the site once, put up the site, repeat. Do this lots and eventually you can make a few dollars while you sleep, I guess.

4. Oh, gotcha.

Morans.

7. I got there once, by typo of course.

It was just a site full of links to other sites, where folks could buy genitalia enhancers and medication.

Every permutation possible. At the time I thought it was ridiculous, but now it doesn't seem so.
