Is it legal?

[OneFourNine]

To register a domain like gookle.com / googlw.com / googlr.com and so on, you get the idea and use it as a redirect page to my site to get traffic?

I have honestly thought about doing it. It may be legal in some places, But in the US I beleive it may be possible to run into copyright issues. Even if it is legal, Google can ruin your life with law suites even if they do not plan on winning.

just tried fuckgoogle.com
it redirects to another site
looks like the owner is Russian

Pretty much any misspelled domain that's close to a huge one like google.com or amazon.com has already been registered for many years.

I'm not particulary talking about google. I'm talking about the idea of doing this in general

If you're not going after a big fish, and you find an available domain you want, and sign up at a real registrar (not GoDaddy) with whois privacy, you'll probably be fine. Not sure how much traffic you'll get, though, if you aren't targeting one of the big guys.

Please advice which registrar would you recommend?

Enom.

why would you want do that, domain name doesn't matter in SEO or anything otherwise also traffic redirecting by misspelling domain would be of no benefit.

Enom.

Thanks a lot!

That's for what I was intresteed for, the traffic of who misspell words

You gotta make it fair use.

If you use it to offer an opinion about Google then it's legit. Part of fair use.

If you use it to try and look like Google then it's illegal.

Like googlefuckingsucks.com is probably legit, while gooogle.com is likely not.

@OneFourNine - El Barto is spot on. If it ends up on the wrong side of copyright law they will take your domain down. Really not much point to this tactic.
