I was running a reverse IP check to see how many and what sites where hosted at the same server/IP as my client. While I was doing that I desited to check how Google was storing their sites, how many IP addresses they where using etc. – This is part of what I found (Note these sites are hosted at the same server as Google.com)
(Some of the) Search Results for 66.102.7.99 (I found 137 sites)
These I understand:
ogogle.com, googlee.com and googlie.com
But these not:
http://www.azertyuiopqsdfghjklmwxcvbn.com/ (Why these letters?)
http://www.glorious-time.com/ (Are they refering to Google?)
http://www.38389438.com/ (Whos number are these?)
http://www.jennifer-wanderer.com/ (Someones daughter maybe, mom, syster or wife?)
http://www.thedinnerpartynetwork.com/ (Fun, fun, fun, fun and Google)
http://www.xn--yvonne-schrder-5pb.com/ (Hmmmmm???)
Then there is this
http://www.05503189785.com/
What’s going on in Google World?
P.s.
I did not go through:
66.102.7.104 and 66.102.7.147

Translation proplems 🙂
The 466453.com domain is a well known geeky domain for google.
Baidu-inc was registered for a third person and redirected to google. Goog dsnt host baidu 😛
Alex seams to have an explanation on http://www.466453.com “it is ‘Google’ written in ‘telephone format'”. The game is afoot!
So if I understand you right Alex, Google is Hosting Baidu, their main competition in China?
You’re right. The reverse IP is ok. I think this is probably related to Google being a domain registrar, and inheriting these domains from whichever company they bought

[…] Leyendo una entrada de Kristjan Mar Hauksson en Multilingual Search sobre otros dominios que redirigen a la página principal de Google, me entero de que Kristjan encontró varias curiosidades que no tenÃÂan mayor sentido, entre ellas: […]
How did you perform the reverse IP check ?
the reverse IP returns one or zero hosts. Finding out the virtual hosts in the same IP can not be done easily . I think your results are wrong
There was a list of strange URL’s there, thanks for this info. I did not do any indepth analysis but they seam to be into word games.
about the azertyuiop… url, check this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZERTY is not very common, but i had heard about this keyboards
I dont know ANYTHING (even searching a bit on SE’s) about the other URL’s
greets!
