Default .com and .cm

Just a note,

The monetization/typosquatting of .com by Cameroon .cm was discussed on the SEO 101 podcast 7 March.

They have a special system. The typos are actually not registered. They government are using a special system that generates sites/pages on the fly for domains that have not been registered yet. So apple.cm need not be registered but when someone tries to go there you get a parked site/page with ads. It's different from domain parking because domain parking requires that the domain was actually registered.

They talked about this and spoke with Kevin Ham on a Domain Masters podcast on Webmasterradio.fm some time ago.

Cameroon strikes it rich on the internet with .cm TLD - an unexpected source of revenue - Domain Names
