>URLs properly and any typos are a one-way ticket to Scam City. Chances are reasonable Google has the correct website

googles no1 spot has become scam city hundreds of times for big namens just this year alone

>Bookmarks, you say? Can't be arsed.

in the time you complained about this problem of your own creation you could habe bookmarked your top 20-50 visited sites.

off topic but i see more and more "I'm too lazy to do x" where the solution would be easier than just being "lazy"

Look boy, my time only becomes ever more valuable as I age. I literally ain't got time for 'puter nonsense anymore.

Did I really type in amazon.com correctly? Not amazn.com? amazon.cm? Or some other stupid typo that will send me straight to Scam City?

In that time I could have gone to Google (which is my browser home page), typed in something vaguely resembling "amazon", and the first or second link will be amazon.com 99% of the time.

I ain't got time.

What about almost any other website? Google aggressively abstracts away search terms and very often gives you something irrelevant.
