Google owns a whole bunch of domain names other than the obvious ones like google.com, blogger.com and gmail.com. We here at Pingdom decided to find out which ones, with some truly surprising results.
We only looked at .com domain names, and found thousands. Below are some of the more noteworthy .com domain names that Google owns.
Misspellings and typos:

I wonder how many domains total Google does own.
I’m not surprised at the effort they’re taking to make sure no one else tries to do anything with their name. Or, like in the case of those not so nice names they own, make sure no one will be able to come up with a good domain name to spoof them.
googlepoo.com is my favorite on that list.

Georgle.com, glogoo.com? These two are so funny. How hard is it to spell google anyway? I remember when my helper spelled google as gugul.com…i nearly died y’know. Hahaha.

I like ‘Royal Pingdom’ of Sweden.
Google owns more than we can possibly imagine. Bill Gates recently said, that Google controls 75% of the world search market.
