How to Stop Typo Squatters





1. Alert the users of your website to the typosquatting problem you are having. Display a message on your home page that tells your users about typosquatters. Encourage them to ensure they are typing the correct address in the address bar before they hit 'Enter.'
2. Purchase the domain names of variants of your web address before typo squatters do. Think of common misspellings of your web address. For example, if your web address has 'ie' in it, purchase a domain name that uses 'ei' as well.

3. Submit a formal complaint to Google (see Resources) if the typo squatter's website has Google Ads on it. Google will remove ads from typo squatters' sites.
4. Submit a complaint to an Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers approved dispute-resolution service provider (see Resources).
5. Hire a lawyer to help you sue the typo squatter(s) under the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act.
