Google already fixed this. No one directly navigates to domains anymore. The SERP is a popularity-ranked page of everything that should be at the domain for the keywords you searched on.
- dmoney 18y agoI do. Sure, I use google and bookmarks a lot of the time, but sometimes the shortest mental route to a site is its domain name. Ironically, GMail is one of these. An interesting thought experiment would be what would happen if you removed all domain names. You own a random series of letters that you keep even if your IP address changes, but the sequence is totally non-mnemonic. Google and del.icio.us would be very important. But how would we get there?
- TweedHeads 18y agoDisambiguation pages like wikipedia. I personally would like to get rid of http, www and com all along Just type a name and presto!
- themic86 18y agoI agree. Also, most browsers now have a search bar in house. in my experience, many people use the search features more often than the address features, even if they are going directly to the main page of a web site. It's just easier to remember the name of a site than it's literal/direct address. Even if they are one and the same 90% of the time, it turns out to be faster using google.
