Great finding, Nacho.

The http://www.googleadservices.com/ gives a server 502 error.

PS. I'll drop you a regular email tomorrow.

That's correct. It's because that domain is used for Adsense redirection and tracking on Google's behalf. A typical refering url retrieved would be:

http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/adclick?adurl=http://www.domain.com/page-name.html&ai=AaypokJHEBpq_zQJ5pBdy5OYDES_nCEfrI2YAPaLlvGgACA pT63H0GOgACIAmWwYv--_AAAAAAEAA&num=2&sa=L

[DaveN]

don't forget the subs ;)

news.google.com
toolbar.google.com
images.google.com
gmail.google.com
desktop.google.com
labs.google.com
labs1.google.com
froogle.google.com
directory.google.com
catalogs.google.com
answers.google.com
local.google.com
print.google.com
groups.google.com


then there are all the vpn points into google ;)

They have also own a bunch of other domains like gbrowser.com. Which we'll probaly see live very soon.

[powerofeyes]

You posted the faces of google themselves, But you never posted the google powered searches which is again an indirect face of google,

There are very good referrals from sites which use google's data,

From some of our logs,

Hey Nacho,

:)

If it ever comes out that you secretly work for Google - then that will have been the most blatant and comprehensive URL drop in the history of this forum!!

OK, if you want to go this deep, here are the Danish faces:

www.google.dk
www.eniro.dk
www.tdconline.dk
www.tv2.dk

By the way, I recall from the last legal session at SES in the US that one of the panalists said (don't remember who of them it was) that there are approx 500 new Google domains booked per week !! - Off course, hardly any of them by Google. Just imagine the number of lawyers it takes just to investigate it (remember, we are talking domains under ANY tld - most with their own domain name dispute standards and systems). Scarry! :eek:

You guys kind of forgot about a big chunk of sites (~208,000), even though they are not free:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&c2coff=1&q=%22Ads+by+Google%22&btnG=Search

ADSENSE!

ADSENSE!
IMO, I wasn't counting those because they are not domains in Google's ownership.

Not to start an argument, but you counted comcast and from 12 seconds of research it does not seem that comcast is owned by google. http://www.whois.sc/www.comcast.net

The adsense code that is actually served on a persons page is actually code owned by google, you put a snippet of code on your site and it pulls from google the ads that google wants to serve.

Either way google brings me tons of traffic from their search, both paid and free, and I think it is important to realize that their ads can be all over the web from 'legit' partners such as comcast down to blogs...and the best part is google is nice enough to opt people into this 'wonderful' network when they sign up for an AdWords account.
