So far today I've had over 200 searches on various search engines for "Shadowslaves". Do you think the average surfer can't cope with the complicated proceedure off typing "shadowslaves dot com" into his browser address bar?

he might be at an office PC. by using an SE, you avoid having it in your browser's address bar drop down.

of course it's still in the history.

now this is interesting - I have a mainstream which displays the footy results from our league - www.5-a-side.org.uk

People told me they could not see it - when I asked why they explained their ISP brings up Ask jeaves / google search.

I have not been round yet to see his machine though from speaking with him it seems from what I can gather his ISP have changed his browser so that the address bar is not displayed, this means he has to ask jeaves or use the google box.

May be the same for you......

All 200 of them? I could understand if it was just a couple of people - but I'm getting hundreds of searches on "Shadowslaves" a day.

Noit sure on your guys but for me all the visitiors are coming in off one ISP - Kcom.

Our nipper when they browse always type into MSN pop up too they never just do a type in. I tried explaining to her that she can bookmark etc though she still uses the MSN pop up and punches the url in.
