Google domains

[vip-ip]

I just checked google.com's IP address, and found that the server hosts 53 (!!!) web-sites. They all appear to be a mirror of google. Examples:

www.1aad.info
www.21150.com
www.466453.com

The search works on these names, too. 1aad.info search shows http://www.466453.com/search?******** not redirects to google.com

Just thought it's a cool fact about google :tu:

They seem to choose the most usefull domains ever :p

Although it looks the same, I bet its not. They probably test things on these other domains, such as new algotherims (spelling?) , new graphics, etc. I don't know this for sure, but it would be logical, as I don't think too many people go to a domain of all numbers.

I also noticed that both www.google.com and google.com have a PR of 10... selfish?

 

[Mystic]

[artkreator]

21150.com belongs to some guy in china.
i guess it's just url forwarding?

I wonder how much google pay if you forward your domain to them ?

anybody ever heard of this - interesting...

Could it be a way of raising the traffic on your domain?

 

[vip-ip]

Yeah, I have vkdbnvkjd.com and ugreivber.com for measely $1000 a mointh I will forward them to google.com :D

 

[Zeeble]

You know, if you had a really short domain, you could redirect it to google for a couple years and get a mass of people used to typing it in and have a bunch of bookmarks out there then switch to a domain parking site for a while and rake in the $$$. I kind of don't think Google would like you at that point though. I really don't see the point for some of those other sites since they are not easier to type in than Google unless they have some other way to get people to use them or they didn't have any ideas of anywhere else to park them.
