Google Owns 520 Domains To Date

by JErm on July 25, 2006

Ever wonder what Google is up to? You might get an idea from their growing list of domains. Currently at the moment of this writing Google owns 520 domains. Their domain collecting business has been going on for the last couple years, mostly from companies they acquired bought. Some domains are just weird IMHO, like allevil.org which doesn’t fit their company motto, Do no evil. Or maybe they’re just trying to keep evil from spreading? They’re very wise however to snatch domains that sound similar to Google. I’m sure this is typo prevention so people can type Google the wrong way and still reach their main site. Some of these domains are googel.com, gogle.com, gogole.com and wwwgoogle.com. You can see the complete list at Pronet Advertising. Now I wonder what they’ll do with porngoogle.com. Another evil prevention scheme?
