I wouldn't have thought so.

Who are you going to get? People accidentally looking for something else. Yes you'll get hits from that but they've found you by mistake so I doubt they'd bother staying.

Aside from that, people who've seen the link, on a forum sig perhaps, will think you've spelt it wrong and probably correct it themselves in the address bar before hitting return.

If you presume that few people who may mistype your domains, remember they won't reach you and worst would be it would reach to your competitior site. I shall even not try for experimenting this.

Well, it really depends on the name I guess. If you are thinking about registering a mispelt domain, stay clear of typos of Trademarked domains or anything which would be in the radar of the big corporations or celebrities because it could be lawsuits waiting to happen.

I think mispelt domains are not good, although there is possible traffic potential, these kind of domains don't produce very good branding... and the chance of return visitors is very limited. Most spelling mistakes are accidential, repeats are rare.
