Even if people know the domain they are going to, many people still type it into google anyway.

I know I do this, for a couple of reasons. One, so I don't have to type in the whole domain. Two, to avoid accidentally hitting a typo-squatter.

Google will pretty much always put the domain as the first result for things that look like a navigational search. I imagine closely matching a real, known url that other users click on is a strong ranking signal.

But I don't think you show up at all if you have 'noindex' set?
