if you were to make a domain name with the word "specific" in the domain, and you were going to make a mistake domain, what would you choose to get the most hits:

specifoc
specifuc
specifci

personally i think specifci would get the most but let me hear what you think, thanks.

Only because I hear people say it that way all the time.

Yes but surely people who say it that way are smart enough to know it isn't spelled that way!

You want to intercept people going to specific.com? But there's nothing there. It's one of those domains for sale.

Agreed. I think people who do this are pathetic low lifes. There are better ways to generate hits than do crap like this.

FYI: You can go read my post. I still think youre trash.

He probably wants to steal their credit card numbers by pretending to sell them the real specific.com for a low price

Or more likely load up the zombie trojans to start pumping out vi4g4r4 spam.
