Who is typing in 026.ca to visit my blog?

DomainReport.ca

Chalk this one up to strange things in domaining.

I'm sure many domainers own some domains, perhaps for personal reasons, that they don't develop or park.  Domains you just don't know what to do with, so you forward them to one of your main or related websites for what little benefit it gives you.  One of those domains for me is 026.ca

026.ca is a three number domain I bought for personal reasons.  Truth is, I would prefer 26.ca but it was easier and cheaper (reg fee) to get the one I have.  Three number domains are fairly rare, though they still aren't worth much for .ca's unless it's a meaningful number (like 247 or 888).  Maybe that will change in time.

From my blog stats, I see that this blog gets regular referrals from 026.ca and I don't know why.  Search engines have picked up the forwarding info and this blog does show up in search listings with the link as 026.ca, so perhaps that's where the traffic is coming from.  Or are some people typing in 026.ca for some reason?

If you visited this blog through 026.ca, let me know why by commenting below.
