"Facebook.com" is by far the most common URL that people type into the address bar of their internet browser. People are typing "facebook.com" almost three times more often than "google.com."
Facebook.com is the most popular domain and accounts for 9 percent of all typed domains. Google.com is the second most typed address and accounts for 3.3 percent of all typed domains.
Youtube.com, gmail.com, twitter.com, mail.google.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com, amazon.com also feature in the top ten most typed domains according to Finke.
According to website traffic monitoring company Alexa, the top 10 websites on the web by the amount of traffic they receive are, in order: Google, Facebook, Youtube, Yahoo, Live, Baidu, Wikipedia, Blogger, MSN and Tencent.
Finke notes in the comments on his blog that while "All of Facebook's properties (*.facebook.com) combine [to make up] 9.4% [of all typed domains]; all of Google's (*.google.com, YouTube, Blogspot, etc.) combine for at least 9.7%."
Not surprisingly, people often make mistakes when entering addresses into their URL bar and end up with all kinds of typos. Frequent variations on the top level domain ".com" include .com\, .ocm, .con, .cmo, .copm, .xom, ".com,", .vom, .comn, .com', ".co,", .comj, .coim, .cpm, .colm, .conm, and .coom.
"The website that appears to benefit the most from users mistyping a legitimate URL is faceboook.com (count the o's)," says Finke.
Scammers have taken advantage of the common typing error (which is typed once for every 7,930 times that facebook.com is correctly typed), setting up a website that makes visitors think they have been chosen as a "Facebook Winner."
Facebook.com Also Can Be Opened by Typing The Keyword "FB" Only In The Address Bar.
I'm extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with
ReplyDeletethe layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or
did you customize it yourself? Either way keep up the
excellent quality writing, it is rare to see a great blog like this

Fantastic blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a little
lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many choices out there that I'm totally confused ..
Any recommendations? Cheers!

I usually do not drop many comments, but i did some
ReplyDeletesearching and wound up here "Facebook Beats Google As The Most Commonly Typed Domain In The Address Bar".
And I actually do have a few questions for you if it's allright.
Could it be only me or does it give the impression like some of the
comments appear as if they are coming from brain dead individuals?
:-P And, if you are posting at other online social sites, I
would like to keep up with everything fresh you have to
post. Could you make a list of all of all your shared sites
like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
My webpage - cenaless - jbgo.co.kr,

ReplyDeleteon quite a few of your posts. A number of them
are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to inform the reality however I'll surely come back again.
