I kinda figured this would come, I heard the rumblings a while ago.

I personally have a miss-spell (not to get type-ins, I might get 1 a day if that) of a tawnee domain so I could get some link pop ON THE MISSPELL. It worked pretty good, averaging a few signups/week with no real work.

But I did all the work. Built the (shitty) site, spent the time submitting galleries with invisible links to the domain w/ the misspell, etc. It took a while to get the top few google spots for the particular search term.

Now, I was thinking. There are quite a few "misspell" domain names for tawnee stone.. all pushing lightspeed's affiliate program. This has to equal some serious cash all put together since my misspell gets not 1/100th the hits the real spelling would.

so why wouldn't lightspeed just gather info on all these guys, take the domain names and inherit the google/SE spots w/o putting the effort into doing it? They just upped their income for those signups by 40% or whatever.

I'm not saying that this is their plan, but it seems pretty scummy to me to take someones hard work if they are pushing you the traffic.

Now, those using the traffic for some other means are fair game in my book.
