Typosquatting remains a “common issue” for website owners to contend with, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n

According to Ramon Ray, typosquatting \u2013 which involves snatching misspelled domains which are very similar to popular websites \u2013 can be difficult to prevent.<\/p>\n

Writing for Smallbiztechology.com, he noted that improved dispute resolution and business defences have helped reduce the risk of cybersquatting<\/a> since 2000, but typosquatting remains a trickier sub-area.<\/p>\n

“A common characteristic of typosquatted domains is a page filled with keywords related to the misspelled website, or even pages offering a search bar to ‘find what you were looking for’,” Mr. Ray stated.<\/p>\n

“For the most part typosquatting is difficult to prevent because typosquatters use automated tools to register hundreds – or in some cases thousands – of domains within a short period of time.”<\/p>\n

He noted that very quickly, domain names<\/a> which fail to generate any traffic are dumped.<\/p>\n

This process allows squatters to test domains en masse without having to pay full price for domains that are not effective, Mr. Ray added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
