We receive some excellent mail at times. People tend to go out of their way to get stuff from us, have us sign up for stuff under their affiliate links, propose all sorts of JV projects, ask if we could become their free tutors, give us the heads up about recent happenings, try to get discounts for advertising, seeking for sponsorships etc. Now every now and again we get a great email like the following one. Its been in the inbox for a while as you can see, and we had nearly forgotten about it.
So how many of you have ever accidentally ended up at bcow.com instead of johncow.com because of a typo when you really tried to get to our blog? 
Me! It’s wierd how the john and b keys are all the same.
I got one recently from somebody who acquired the dropped domain dispelrhys.co.uk. I shudder to think who was going to use it and what for :S

The only way a person can type bcow instead of johncow is when he is too busy with his BJ.

I just bcow.com for $15,000.
My Advice: If they are mis-spelling the url like that than they deserve to be taken to the wrong page.

Is he really a typo squatter when he spells “john” “b”?
If he spelled “john” like “jhon” or somethning else similar, then yes, but now I don’t think so

Oh, I get confused ALL the time… but it’s when my hand dances over the ‘c’ and ‘h’ keys… if my fingers are too fast, I end up killing Pandas instead… If not, then I end up with Cows.
