Comcast is Monetizing Domain Typos

Jeremy Kirk at PC World writes an article (Comcast Redirects Bad URLs to Pages With Advertising) explaining that Comcast will now be forwarding web visitors who mistype urls to a page designed to show advertising. Rather than providing a “did you mean xyz?” suggested correction to the visitor, Comcast will now forward the user to a page with Yahoo search results and sponsored link ads.
