Porn-napping: Spelling impaired, beware

[Art Wolinsky <awolinsky@OII.ORG>]

Last night I reported the two sites that could be confused with Ebert &
Roeper's site, one of which is using a new tactic of redirection and
capturing an ad site in a frame and a casino add in a pop-up.  This morning
I had a report of another incident.  It appears that this latest speculator
is taking advantage of spelling problems.  Instead of waiting to buy up
names that expire, they are registering spellings that people might make
accidentally.

Though these sites don't have the links to them that make the other sites
attractive to speculators, the technique and type of ads you are redirected
to, almost guarantee that the sites will make money.

So what is the latest site to be added to the list? It is
www.suessville.com , not to be confused with the legitimate Dr. Seuss site
of www.seussville.com .

Take care,
Art
