If you’re using Google as your default search engine, chances are that you’re either typing your searches in the Chrome URL field, or go to Google.com.
Millions of Google users are “addicted” to using the top search engine for anything, from “how to make a Greek salad” to what is a domain name authorization code.
How to make a Greek salad: don’t crumble the feta. Also, hold the lettuce and the bell peppers.
Regional web sites for Google show up when searching for a locale: For example, “Google Russia,” would bring up Google.ru as its top result, while for “Google France“, Google.fr shows up at the top – and so on and so forth.
With that in mind, an Indian entrepreneur has beat Google in its own SERP game.
When Googling “Google USA“, the top result is MyGoogleHomePage.com, a web site that monetizes its traffic by providing Custom Search results via Google.
Naturally, one would have to wonder why Google allows this kind of use of its famous trademark since 2009, and we have no answer other than: Perhaps they don’t know. 😀
In an interesting twist, “Google US” returns Google.com as the top result, with MyGoogleHomePage.com at the #2 spot.
Many thanks to Vinay for this great tip.
