Anyone ever visit yahooo.com

[Word2Action]

It actually sends you to Yahoo!. Clever way to own such a profitable domain name.

[kisna]

yeah.
But there is no advantage on having this domain. I would make a blog about yahoo, if I had that domain.

I think Yahoo owns Yahooo. Don't you think?

I have the feeling that Yahoo owns the domain.. it is just a clever way to re-direct the trafic, because it happens to me all the time. Since one has to type the 2 "o" at the end, sometimes if it goes once more, then you don´t even noticed! It happened to me typing my access to a site that I am registered at, and I typed my e-mail with yahooo.com and of course it didn´t recongnize me and I didn´t even see it until I typed again asking them to send me a reset password!

NS4.YAHOO.COM

It's a typo traffic catcher. Especially since they used to advertise verbally as a kind of howl "yahoooooooooooooooooo..." etc, I would presume that some people actually type in additional o's.

Thank you so much Zach! Now we can all rest! LOL! I like the way you deal with this site, always on top of everything! I hope I can be as good administrator to our website as you are to this one! My partner insist that I still have to learn a lot before getting myself that title!
