COMPANIES SEE VALUE IN WEB TRAFFIC ERRORS
The WSJ runs a feature on the growing interest in
misaddressed Web traffic, that occurs when a user enters a
domain that does not exist. Several companies, including
AOL and Microsoft, are now redirecting users to their search

to the practice, however, arguing that modifies DNS servers
to things they're not designed to do.
