It is not this a TM? goggle.com

I was reading an article about typos, and i found this one goggle.com as u can see it is so similar to google.com , but they still use it. Any ideas why google hasnt been able to take it based on TM? it is amazing for me Google is not the owner of goggle.com

Isn't it Goggles? Wow, that guy must be earning tens of thousands a month selling that spyware on Goggle.com. People must be wondering how Google detected spyware on their PCs. New service?

Re: It is not this a TM? goggle.com

I have Gôgle.com. You see, in Portuguese, two "o" together make the same sound that "ô", and "ô" makes much more sense when you try to write down what you hear when you pronouce Google in English.

Yes, I get a lot of hits, it's my top hits domain. (But very few clicks)

Yes, it's a typo.

Yes, I'll hand it over to Google the minute they ask for it.

Why don't you put up a search box on the page with ads?

I think they wouldn't risk associating with a search engine, but anyways, selling spyware is very profitable, they will make sure you subscribe to the updates - it's recurring income.

Yes, blast, I've thought about that. But then gave it a second thougt and using Google adsense for search was not a great idea since it's a Google typo...

The great news, for me, is the new search box template from NameDrive. Too bad it is still not working. When I try to save changes it won't.
