How much percentage of searches are type in?

[james2002]

I wonder there is any figure translating number of searches to "type in".

I read somewhere that it is around 10 % of total searches are "type in".

Is that about right?

That's extremely low. I would say 40% of all .com landings are via type ins.

Depends heavily on if it is a keyword(s) name or not and the ext.

Regarding mostly .com and .org domains/sites (including multi-words, 40% is at the extreme low-end if a targeted keyword name, but probably on the high end for non-keyword(s) names in any extension.

Many (if not most) domain SLD are a brand, a slogan, or a product name.
Considering that many urls are found by search engine requests (that are thus no type-ins), IMHO type-ins are probably far less in percentage as is tried to make believe.
Who does not know the url of the wanted online entity, must search for it = Is no type-in.
Who does know the url, types it in - But that only means that this one person knew the url.
Type-ins are IMHO not a really relevant argument to buy a given domain.
But well-dressed arguments can be very convincing.

Disagree strongly with the above especially re typeins not being a reason to buy

Visitors that only open a page, or not only open a page but do also read it - without doing anything else, are just bandwith waste.
Whatever the way the came to the page, such visit is worthless.
Not only worthless, but why should they ever come back if they saw nothing of interest for them the first time?
Type-ins are good IF those visitors participate in the revenue of that web.

IF there would be a top evaluation parameter, it would be (IMHO) SERP.
The higher a url appears in a search, the better;
But, then, it is not sure somebody will go there and do anything ...
