I'm thinking of buying some domainnames for wrongly spelled versions of popular web sites. Anyone have any experience of this, does it work?

Most Affiliate Networks have policies that do not allow typosquatting. Check your contracts. Also look at your affiliate network, look at your merchant and ask yourself if they will accept what you plan on doing. Ethics asside, typosquatting can traffic. Businesses exist that were built on typosquatting...probably not the most robust companies but they exist.

And I'm even sure most of us have run into them one way or another.
