Recently, I bought the domain name: bashfishing.com. Not bassfishing.com, but bashfishing.com. (The difference is an "sh" instead of an "ss" in the word: bass.)


An interesting article.

It might work better if you used a good link:

Interesting what happens when you click on your link, though! :eek:

A guy who admits he hijacks people who misspell a web address? No wonder he doesn't have any sales. He pisses everybody off when he redirects them. They didn't want to go there.

That article was so uninformative.

edit: Went to the bashfishing.org site. He won't be seeing any sales now or in the near future. The whole page looks very scammy.

edit 2: skooled :(

Why would anyone misspell bass as bash.

I worked for a company (temporarily) that purposely buys out names that havent been claimed to lend or sell them... I had to make sure that the misspelling was not something close to a name that was copyrighted... like bassfishing wouldnt be.
