misspelling

While you may think that typo is just a mistake that makes you erase the entered word in the search engine query bar and lose several seconds, such typos may bring millions of dollars to search engines, Google in particular.

Benjamin Edelman and Tyler Moore have estimated that they make the search giant $497 million per year.

Edelman and Moore have published a conjoint work titled "Measuring Typosquatting Perpetrators and Funders." They note: "According to our analysis, 57% of typo sites include Google pay-per-click ads."
