.org type-in traffic?

[Bookworm SEO]

Do .ORGs get type-in traffic? I'm looking at buying some one-word .ORGs with a few hundred OVT searches/month, but I'd like to first know if they get type-ins. any experience?

 

[beyondborders]

I've got a couple with 150-250 type ins per month...not alot but better than nothing.

Definitely ORG's have traffic but by definition "type ins" refer to the natural traffic .COM's get.

"type ins" refer to the natural traffic any domain gets.

No natural traffic exists in the SEO sense for "widget.org" when the mind of the surfer always looks for the .COM

Huh? Surfers are not always going straight to .coms, some people will go straight to a .org for certain reasons. (the answer to Bookworms original question)

What are you refering to when you say

SEO has nothing to do with natural traffic if we are defining natural traffic as direct typeins.

@Acroplex:

Hmm - i would think someone typing in widget.org knows exactly what he's doing - the opposite might be the case, someone typing in the .com version when in fact he wants to visit the .org site.

Also you would not call typo traffic "natural traffic" then because the mind of the surfer was looking for the non mispelled version of course ?

When you visit "widget.sc" instead of "widget.com" you are not adding to type-in traffic. Anyone with a non-COM domain who claims it has type-in traffic is simply lying. The end-user always adds .COM to the word they search. That's natural traffic. If you are typing "widget.im" you are making a selective choice.

I agree with this definition.

"type-in", for me, means the name is typed in rather than found via a search engine or link.

The extension has nothing to do with the definition of "type-in" as far as I am concerned.

SEO folk might use a different defintion, but I think the above definition is what domainers would use ;-)

Your basing your argument on a false premise.

Apparently you're attempting to invent a new method of traffic analysis.

UH ?!

What are you talking about ?

So you mean someone who willingly types in grassroots.org actually wanted to typein the .com version ? Anyone who wants to visit slashdot.org actually wants to visit the slashdot.com site ?

And what about my .de domains ?

The type-in traffic they receive is actually no typein traffic and i'm a liar ?!

By definition type-in traffic is traffic that results from a surfer having typed in the domain into the address bar instead of clicking on a link.

Simple as that.

I think what you are talking about is search type kind of type in traffic but thats not the only sort of type in traffic there is and any kind of type in traffic is equally natural as it gets.

Acro, interesting that you would use the phrase "attempting to invent"...I really don't think that I'm the one that's been attempting that in this thread

One words, not sure, but acronym's LLL org's see great traffic vs .info and even .net to an extent. Just what I have found.

Pure type-ins are linked to .COM - whether you like it or not - when we are talking about domain parking revenue.

If you typed Slasdot dot org it's because you know it's there. That's targeted traffic, not a natural type-in.

If you try to sell me "junk.io" and claim it has type-in traffic, I will definitely call you a liar.

Traffic in general, yes. No-one denies that. I have a bunch of .net and .org domains that receive large amounts of link and search traffic. But is it type-in traffic? No. That's what the .com gets.

That would be a natural typein for someone in the British Indian Ocean Territory looking for somthing local, this is an example of where your definition falls apart.

I'm beginning to think we may have to call you Agro instead of Acro..

Agro: American slang for extreme aggrovation/aggression.

On the subject of type-ins we seem to have different opinions. I shall leave it at that.

Pure type-ins are linked to .COM

Not necessarily correct with some categories of org's such as medical and disease names for example. Most would typein diabetes.org not com, even if they did not know a site was there. Also to varying degrees with some other categories and names like credit unions, govt related, associations, groups, peoples names, nonprofits, venture capital firms. Org may also gets com nice spillover traffic on certain financial names, investment, legal names and others. p.s. I almost forgot org acronyms also get good typeins, especially 2 and 3 letter ones. I am puzzled as to how Acroplex can claim all that is not natural type-in traffic.

 

[Poker]

Agree Trader, in fact some .com's and .net's can even get spillover traffic from .org's when the searcher types in the .org directly and finds nothing...
