Where to 'place' the SEO profession?

2) Characterize the traffic from misspellings as "falsely inflate(d)" traffic?

3) Assume that Google would needlessly forego revenues from AdWords and/or AdSense traffic merely because it results from misspellings?

4) Characterize those sites which capitalize on misspellings as "offending" sites?

2. A true and honest site will most likey have correct spelling in regard to what their site is about.

3. Falsely inflated traffic to an obvious built for AdSense site? Did somebody say click fraud.

4. See #2

1) Please re-read the question; it is re. the characterization "high paying," not re. the misspelling.

2) To re-state the question, since people routinely make spelling errors, how does serving those errors result in "falsely inflated" traffic?

3) The question is re. Google, not a restatement of of item 2.

4) Again, is not a restatement re. item 2.

I fear this thread has gone a bit sour and somewhat off-topic, perhaps a moderator should close and/or correct it?
