Lol, yes, domain names with errors and spelling mistakes are good ones, however, to be honest, my revenue comes from established sites - not one of them, which add to my monthly revenue is a squatted site or a mispelt site - so that says a lot.

Usually it's a case of the visitor coming to my site and not finding what they expected to find and then clicking on the most promising Google Ad or Google Link unit with the hope of being taken to where they originally wanted to go. Registering domains with common typos could pull in these types of CTR. I wonder how many different ways one can misspell "OUTsurance" The only time I get this type of CTR is on a few domains that I’m squatting, err, I mean waiting to develop.

I do sometimes wonder whether Google thinks that there is click fraud going on when they see such high click through rates. You last point is also a good one - the times I have spotted high CTRs, the first thing I wonder about is whether I have given viewers what they want. Very impressive Chris.
