It’s fascinating how many people still search for full URLs instead of just entering them into the address field in their browsers. A couple of days ago I put up a page titled www.gi.se (a domain which isn’t possible to register under the Swedish top domain since it has too few characters). And it has quickly become one of my most visited pages with plenty of search referrals. Not that I complain, the plan was to get visitors on the phrase, and to redirect these visitors to other sites, with more info on GI (an abbreviation for glycemic index, or glykemiskt index in Swedish). And I do… But it’s still strange that people search instead of entering addresses.
