Google Registers Several Typo Domain Names

I find it rather interesting to note today that Google registered several typo domain names related to Google Analytics. They bought domain names that are apparently common typos of the word “Google Analytics”, the domain names that are related to the hyphenated version of their Google-Analytics.com domain name. What I find interesting is their choice of typos and the fact that they registered the hyphenated versions–and not the non-hyphenated versions.

On a regular basis, I watch the domain names that Google registers, as sometimes it is an indication of things to come–sometimes the registration of a domain name may indicate a future project. It is interesting to note that Google today registered a lot of typo domain names related to Google Analytics, their web analytics service.
