This particular issue was actually the result of an internal error (versus a strategy oversight) that we were able to address in less than 24 hours. However, it's unfortunate it was "live" for even as long as it was, so thanks for pointing it out. As you also noted, there are a few alternate misspells (like thehomedepo.com) we do not own that are on ongoing challenge. Again, many thanks. Stoney – thanks for the post.

There is a lot of benefit to grabbing domain names, whether misspellings or otherwise, that can provide good type-in traffic. Excellent point Adrian.

It is so easy to implement, it only takes few minutes and it doesn't involve any more money spending. I did some research for fun using Wordtracker and big sites like Google, Yahoo or YouTube and I found that around 1.7% of people are typing wrong. That means some more wasted traffic. And it is very high quality traffic considering they are looking exactly for your site. Another important thing to consider is the ww and wwww subdomain typos.
