Google, which runs the largest ad network on the Internet, is making millions of dollars a year by filling otherwise unused Web sites with ads. In many instances, these ad-filled pages appear when users mistype an Internet address, such as "BistBuy.com."

This new form of advertising is turning into a booming business that some say is cluttering the Internet and could be violating trademark rules. It also triggered a speculative frenzy of investment in domain names, pushing the value of some beyond $1 million.

Hmm...pretty interesting information and read.

Seems like there are others also who benifit from Typos and not only Google.

There are some sites which contain trojans and viruses which install on ur comp on loading the site...such sites also do profit a lot from typos....
 
Yeah definitely, just recovered from a Trojan attack. Maybe they could setup some sort of organization to keep those sites under control.
