Google owns more names than an Eastern god, website monitoring service Pingdom has discovered. It found thousands of Google-owned names in the .com domain alone. Many of them are clearly designed to foil typosquatters who garner hits from misspelled addreseses. Some hint at future services: google4kids.com, googlebackups.com,googleauction.com, googlebroadband.com,  googlecasinogames.com, googlefamily.com, googlejokes.com, googlelovers.com, googlepersonals.com, googlereligion.com, googlefaith.com, googlegym.com, googledaycare.com, bankgoogle.com, googlepaperproducts.com

Other names make you wonder what is going on: googlesex.com, googleporn.com, google-yahoo-porn.com,. google-yahoo-sex.com, googlewarez.com.

And some are simply baffling: 1p0g0og1e.com, az-on-url-je.com, goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogle.com

A Pingdom blog observes that many of the names have probably been registered to protect the brand. 'Lawyers have surely been keeping busy reclaiming lots of Google-related domain names over the years.'
