"A domain name broker managed to convince the government of Cameroon, which controls .cm, to do a deal where any mis-typed domain name, like Google.cm (instead of google.com), takes the visitor to an advertising-filled landing page (the ads are served by Yahoo)..." [techcrunch.com...]

I remember during the .CM landrush Google.CM was forwarded to this page full of ads. I also remember reading that the owner of this domain made roughly $10K/month

This typo had pretty decent traffic according to Alexa:
[alexa.com...]

Anyway, today I noticed it is redirected to Google.com which is good. Finally Google did something about it!
