    I think he means when you are in google and type "design" in the browser bar without the .dot and it takes you to a website. That website is the first result which appears when searching in google, is the same thing than pressing the "feeling lucky" button in google toolbar.

    hope thats the answer to your question, have a nice day

    That explains why earlier on today when I was testing a new blog I'm building, I entered "localhost/im blog" into my browser and got redirected to blog.taragana.com. I was totally confused!

    Anyway.. :)

    There's another way to get type in traffic - register commonly mis-spelled or similar domain names, and have them redirect to your primary site.

    Really you just have to make sure you have an easy to remember domain name, good content, and clean site. If you build it they will come..... right?
