You may have a website that is easy to misspell.
Purchase the misspelled domain names and redirect them.
It's easy at 1-2-Wonder, here's how.

1 Example Of Many:
Your website is www.singularwordwhatever.com
But people sometimes go to www.pluralwordwhatever.com

Enough talk, if people misspell your web address, here's what you can do!

1) buy www.yourwrongwebaddress.com ($12.95) at 1-2-Wonder http://www.12wonderwebservices.com/check.php
then you can set it (steps 2-12) for redirection
2) on http://www.12wonderwebservices.com click "login" (on left side)
3) once logged in, click "my account" (on left side)
4) look for "number of domains in your account" in "account information" (in the middle)
5) click "view/edit" (on right)
6) find the new domain name (the one you just bought, the MISSPELLED one, NOT the real one) and click "M" (on right side, click "M" it's next to "R")
7) almost done...now click "edit dns records" (in middle)
8) "line 1" will have asterisk. leave it.
9) change "address" to the right address, the real one (you're redirecting it to good website)
10) change "record type" to "url redirect"
11) leave "mx pref" as 10 it's fine
12) click "save changes" (on bottom)

If anybody tries this and instructions are unclear, please ask in this forum, you'll get a quick answer to your question.
Hope this helps,
Brandon
