Grrr...

Okay, I can appreciate that some people get hits by buying domain names that are similar to popular sites. One of the most famous was the porn site that bet many people wouldn't know the White House was whitehouse.GOV and would type in .COM like so many others. It's great, if sneaky, marketing.

But you know what? It's damn annoying. And I'm really tired of every time I accidentally type 'blogpot' instead of 'blogspot' getting 'Aaron's Bible Site'. I get it no matter what subdomain I type--my blog or anyone else's. You know what? Sneaky mirror sites are not the way to make people want to come back for your site, and you've got pop-ups that slow things down so it's like getting stuck in muck.

Grrr.

I've got to learn to type more accurately.
