Few points:
- Google has de-listed parked domain URLs or pushed them way beyond 200 results (that's as far as I checked

) since March 2010.
- Type-ins are as extinct as the dodo.
- Most people type in the search phrase in the browser address bar and consequently land up on Bing if the browser is IE, Google if the browser is Firefox or Chrome (obviously). Don't know about other browsers, but behavior could be similar.
- Very few people modify the default browser or search engine options. This is perhaps the reason why web professionals see things different from average Internet user, and keep moving in circles trying for better results.
- Looking at above, the best way to get yourself on top of search results is to provide value to the visitor by way of quality content and deals and standard practices.
- To satisfy search engines, just make sure that you use best practices in designing a site - the engines do tell us what standards they expect from our site - it's a pity that most web developers don't read or follow those guidelines, whether it is Google or Bing or any other.
