(i) The disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which Complainant has rights; and (ii) Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and (iii) The disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.</blockquote> I’d be wary of typos on trademarks.

If the complainant can prove each of the following elements then it means the domain could be in violation and the TM holder could win the domain.

(i) The disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which Complainant has rights; and

(ii) Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and

(iii) The disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.

"Future Proofing" any NEW inbound links 2. Although the link value of an old domain is reset in many cases, The link over time is bound to gain value again after subsequent crawls IMHO. This meand you get the future juice. However, I am not suggesting that - I am suggesting you manually contact all the sites linking to the wrong domain and get it corrected!

"when it comes to search engines, you'd probably need to own the domain ahead of time to get any SEO value from those links (or from 301 re-directing it). Buying a domain that's never been registered before or from a domain broker simply to get its erroneous, unintentional backlink profile is likely to have virtually no value. The engines appear to do a good job of "re-setting" a site's link profile to near-0 when domain ownership changes hands."

The subdomain typo happens every so often, but most people don't 301 the ww subdomain. Nice post – it’s also worth seeing if anyone is linking to the ww.domain.com URL (instead of www.).
