Deliberate typo?

lol, I hope so or someone is calling their bank to cancel a transaction.

Good name for dyslexic tourists definitely lol

Seriously though, by the looks of it, roughly 1 in 20 people searching for Belgium [~40,000 on average monthly] type Belguim [~2,000 on average monthly] by accident, so it might be worth something.

Belgium.co.uk = £xx,xxx
Belguim.co.uk = £xx if you're lucky

You can do with some TM's who sell products because they know what thwe visitor is looking for. Not sure what they would be looking for exactly on this one, so don't know it is worth anything to be honest.

I hope you didn't spend a lot securing the name - really not worth much IMO

Given that in Google probably 75%+ of people probably click the 'Did you mean: .....' link - just don't see the point myself as even at the top of Google (which will take time and £££) you'd be 10-20% of 25%

I think "securing" means hand regging, as the domain is a few days old on 1&1's TAG and hasn't been updated since.

 

[deanmain]

Well I only spent a fiver..but on my budget you need to think outside the box....the did you mean icon does not actually come up on Google.

I was thinking of a mini site with the message 'did you mean Belgium ...not to worry you can still get great offers for Belgium Chocolates, hotels flights.etc etc here at belguim or should that be Belgium.co.uk.

 

[deanmain]

or do I leave them in ignorance like the .com version
belguim

 

[virtualwords]

Definatley worth a £5.

Loads of people make this error and will end up at your site, if it doesen't cost you anything I would defiantely make a minisite with related links.

I avoid mis-spells since Google started their "did you mean?" and assuming you did mean that.

but deffo worth the reg fee, just don't waste too much time developing it

Would suggest not writing "did you mean Belgium" (of course they did) and pointing out the typo, or you risk losing some immediately. Just jump straight into the Belgium products and travel info.
