Google’s new browser Chrome’s impact on domains?
- 2 Comment
I just installed and tested Google’s new browser called Chrome.
All in all it appears to be a good browser. Here are some good features:
- pretty fast
- simple interface
- private browsing that won’t leave any history behind
- a lot less clutter than firefox and internet explorer
- adding new tabs or bookmarks is a breeze
The two concerns that I have are:
- It doesn’t let you open all your bookmarks in a folder “at-once” like firefox
- There are no menus at the top so it will take people some time to get used to it
Now I am wondering what impact will it have on the domains?
It has the address bar which also doubles as the google search bar. It suggests you searches as well as other similar URLs while you type a domain in to it.
Now that may help some developed sites get additional traffic if they are ranked well for a search term but it can take traffic away from type-in domain names by suggesting people alternate URLs in the same category.
I have a feeling google chrome browser won’t be good for type-in domain names.
What do you think?

You are spot on.
In the name of helping the web surfer (at least the new web surfer wanabe) the google browser once installed will suggest a particular website / domain name to the person which types in some letters into that browser (google will sell those ads to their advertisers and make BIG money that way).
The SMART web surfer will not fall for the crap google style but instead will type in the FULL web address / domain name into the browser and get to the website he or she has chosen – this is what I do.
Surf the Web the Smart way – Simple things in life are meant to be simple and Easy.

I am not exactly sure how will it impact the type-in traffic. Only the time will tell…..hopefully it will increase the type-in to domains.
