Web scrapping

Search volume for web scrapping and web scraping according to Google Trends (52-week moving average).

Search volume for web scrapping as percentage of volume for both terms, according to Google Trends (52-week moving average).

I came across the following quote on the Web Scraping website:

I searched my email and found over the last few years I received 76 messages from clients containing the text Web Scrapping rather than the usual spelling Web Scraping. And this is not unique to my clients - currently Google has 122,000 results for “Web Scrapping” compared to 447,000 results for “Web Scraping” - the correct spelling returns only 4x the number of results. So in light of this common spelling mistake I registered the domain webscrapping.com and redirected it here.

I thought this had to be a joke - but it wasn’t. The domain redirect actually works, and there does appear to be a persistent search volume for web scrapping, even if its share of total web scra[p]{1,2}ing searches has declined considerably.
