"Even my existing paying customers mistyped my domain to testimonial.io. I missed out on a viral tweet because of this typo!"
Read the full storyA $35k Investment That Returned $200k+
The founder of Testimonial.to invested $35,000 to acquire testimonial.io - a common typo of their main domain. This single decision has generated over $200,000 in additional revenue from users who mistyped the domain.
The Missed Opportunity
Damon Chen, founder of Testimonial.to, watched helplessly as a viral Twitter thread mentioned his product but used the wrong domain: testimonial.io instead of testimonial.to.
"Joe misspelled our domain. Instead of Testimonial.to, Joe spelled testimonial.io 😢 I didn't get any visitors benefit! It bugged me for quite a while."
The thread received over 1,600 retweets and 7,800 likes - but Testimonial.to didn't see any traffic spike because people were typing the wrong domain.
The ROI Calculation
Damon did the math and realized that to justify the $35,000 domain cost:
- At a 10x ARR valuation multiple, he needed just $3,500 in new annual recurring revenue
- This meant acquiring only 6 new customers at $600/year each
- The domain would continue appreciating in value as his brand grew
The result? The investment has already returned over $200,000 in revenue from customers who would have otherwise been lost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about typo domains, typosquatting, and how to protect your brand
What is typosquatting?
Typosquatting (also called URL hijacking) is a form of cybersquatting that targets internet users who incorrectly type a website address into their web browser. Attackers register domains that are common misspellings or typos of popular websites to capture traffic or conduct phishing attacks.
How common are typo domains?
Studies show that up to 20% of web traffic comes from users mistyping domain names. The most common typos include TLD confusion (e.g., .com vs .co), character omission, character swapping, and character duplication. For popular websites, typo domains can receive thousands of visitors per day.
Is typosquatting illegal?
Typosquatting can be illegal under trademark law if it's done with malicious intent to profit from another brand's reputation. The Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) in the US allows trademark owners to sue typosquatters. However, simply registering typo domains of your own brand for protection is legal and recommended.
How do typosquatters monetize typo domains?
Typosquatters use several methods to profit from mistyped domains:
1) Display ads on landing pages to generate advertising revenue
2) Redirect users to competitor websites for affiliate commissions
3) Create phishing sites to steal personal information and credentials
4) Install malware or unwanted software on visitors' devices
5) Sell the typo domain to the legitimate brand owner at an inflated price
By registering your own typo domains, you prevent these malicious activities targeting your users.
How can typo domains benefit my business?
Owning typo variations of your domain provides multiple benefits:
1) Capture lost traffic from users who mistype your URL
2) Protect your brand from competitors or scammers who might use these domains maliciously
3) Redirect traffic to your main site, increasing conversions and revenue
4) Prevent potential reputation damage from phishing sites using similar domains
What are the most common types of domain typos?
The most common typos include:
1) TLD confusion (example.com vs example.co)
2) Character omission (exmple.com)
3) Character swapping (exapmle.com)
4) Character duplication (exampple.com)
5) Adjacent key errors (exanple.com)
6) Phonetic errors (xample.com)
Our tool identifies all these variations for your domain.
How do I protect my brand from typosquatting?
The best protection strategy is to:
1) Register common typo variations of your domain
2) Set up redirects from these domains to your main website
3) Monitor for new typosquatting domains
4) Consider trademark registration for your brand name
5) Take legal action against malicious typosquatters if necessary
