Yesterday, the domain names owned by Google, the search engine giant, were exposed by external electricity. The world-famous website with search as its main business exists with more than 500 domain names. The reporter found that it is interesting that many of the "no-headers" domain names seem to have nothing to do with the company, but there are still some domain names that reveal areas that Google may be involved in the future, these possible fields include browsers and accelerators.

Google may be in beta testing

According to an industry expert named Neil Patel, Google currently has over 580 domain names. In the list of domain names he collected, the reporter saw that some domain names are related to Google products or functions, such as googletalk.net, and some domain names are acquired by Google, for example, keyhole.com has a considerable number of domain names that are similar to company names, or the spelling results, such as googlie.com, googlr.com, and goolge.com, when a netizen misspelled them accidentally, it is easy for Internet users to enter their websites and start searching. What makes reporters feel "Headless" is that many digital domain names are also included in the bag by this search boss, for example, 21150.com, 3576.net, 466453.com, and some inexplicable domain names composed of English letters. Yesterday, the reporter tried to enter www.466453.com, and the result was directed to Google's Chinese website. Why does Google register a domain name with the same password.

Yesterday, the reporter interviewed Cui Jin, a PR manager of Google China, and analyzed that the company had registered domain names for some seemingly strange domain names in addition to the above-mentioned common reasons, because some products are tested based on the needs of small-scale internal trials, engineers register a domain name at will. At first, only a few people knew it and registered it, point to the Google website in the future.

Lawyer domain name exposure Development Direction

In addition to regular domain names, reporters also saw googleaccelerator.com, gbrowser.com, gbrowser.net and so on. An accelerator is an accelerator. Browser means the browser. Of course, whether these businesses will be involved in the future is not officially confirmed by Google.

For this interesting discovery, the reporter interviewed Yu Guofu, a well-known Internet lawyer and chief counsel of shengbang (China) Legal Counsel Co., Ltd. yesterday. In fact, this list is not fully collected. For example, Google's domain names suffixed with CN in China have no revenue,, to some extent, it exposes some development directions of Google. Enterprises have pre-registered. This is a forward-looking registration, such as the browser business "gbrowser", which at least indicates that Google has this idea. Modern Enterprises need "investment is not active, intellectual property rights are first ".

In addition, Yu Guofu told reporters that many of the domain names held by Google are protected registration. That is, to prevent other people from registering and corrupt their own brands. These are related to intellectual property rights, especially the trademark rights and the naming rights of well-known goods and services. Because once someone else registers a domain name that is similar to or identical to their own brand, it is very likely to fade their own brand, and even the United States has passed the Anti-trademark desalination law for this purpose.

This is surprising not only because Google has registered a large number of domain names, but also because of the domain name registration of well-known enterprises, sometimes, the company's trend is also inadvertently leaked.
