Oh boy.

Now I know how they do it. I always wondered why some screen with "Spank me!" written all over it, poped up on my screen. This happend so many times when I'd misspell ebaumsworld.com. Sad part is, I'd get accused of looking at porn.

And in response to your post. That's not a typosquatter, it's an actual site, as opposed to a misspelled word in a search engine re-directing you.

One of the funny ones I found was daterape.com and it re-directs you to some dating/rating community.
