Tabbing navigation should not be confused with tabbed document interface In computing , tabbing navigation is the ability to navigate between focusable elements such as hyperlink s and form controls within a structured document or user interface such as HTML with the tab key of a computer keyboard . Usually, pressing tt Tab tt will focus on the next element, while pressing tt Shift tt tt Tab tt will focus on the previous element. The order of focusing can be determined implicitly based on physical order or explicitly based on tab index . In general, tabbing is cyclical, not linear, meaning that the tabbing will cycle to the first last element when it moves away from the last first element. Most desktop applications and web browser s support this kind of keyboard navigation. But in some web browsers like Opera web browser Opera , an alternative method known as spatial navigation is used. This method, in many cases, can save a lots of key presses.

Direct navigation describes the method individuals use to navigate the World Wide Web in order to arrive at specific website s. Direct navigation is a 10 year old term which is generally understood to include type in traffic . Direct navigation traffic was first discovered circa 1996. The few lucky domainer s who had premium names and analyzed their traffic found people were typing in their domain names and bypassing search engines . Many of them immediately realized the potential of these domain names. At that time the direct navigation segment of the World Wide Web was born. Domainers describe direct navigation as an Internet user navigating to a website directly through the browser address bar . They bypass online search engines by typing a name like hotels and adding .com . For that reason direct navigation traffic is more valuable than search engine traffic since it is better targeted. Short words that describe large segments of a market are the most valuable direct navigation names. Domainers call these names premium names and they have sold in the millions of dollars year after year since 1997. Marketers also include bookmarked traffic in the direct navigation group. Domainers do not consider bookmarked traffic as direct navigation since in most cases they do not involve a direct navigation premium domain name. A Bookmark web bookmark is made when an internet user actively adds a URL to their list of bookmarked pages. This is much different than using the browser address line to navigate to a premium domain name like hotels.com. Hence the inclusion of bookmarked traffic is not included in the domainer s version of the direct navigation market. A 2005 study of Internet traffic by WebSideStory s StatMarket division revealed that direct navigation traffic such as browser type in traffic , bookmarks of existing sites, and visits to existing, known website domain names ..., 2008, the first direct navigation search engine, ubexact.com was released.
