Wow, I totally didn’t know about the misspelling of the domain name on the part of the Google boys. Imagine how awkward it would be if they did spell it right… then again, “Google” would be weird in that alternative universe.

I think you have the potential for an article there, good luck!

Crystal: Your point is well taken, why would anyone type “Gogel” or “Googol” and search for it in the Google search engine when the spelling of “Google” is right there in big bold letters in the front.

I think they will get what they are looking for if they go for “Googol” since this is the real spelling of “Google.” The Google founders accidentally mispelled it when they were registering for their domain. (Check out this story: http://graphics.stanford.edu/~dk/google_name_origin.html)

Googol is an actual mathematical term. So when people search for it, I believe they really intended to search for it.

My confusion is with the word “Googel.” There is no meaning for this word and I am quite surprised why people are searching for it. “Googel” is a sesame street character and I doubt people would be intentionally seeking for it.

The reason for the high demand of the word “Googol” is probably due to the following reasons:

1.) People are really searching for “Googol” which is an actual mathematical term.
2.) They wanted to find out about “Google” the company but accidentally mispelled it when typing. (This is a common error)
3.) They just don’t have anything to do. They wanted to find out the different ways on how to spell “Google”
4.) People want to find out if they can register a domain name that is similair to “Google” (This is a popular strategy)

For “Googel” I think reasons no. 2 to 4 is more plausible.

Well whatever the reason is, only google or the people who are searching for the words can explain it themselves. The best thing that we can do is to speculate.

Hey that gives me an idea ! I might write a post on this. Let me know your thoughts !

Wow that’s really quite clever. Now that the word is out, I’m sure people will be rushing to add this keyword. However, when people click on the link to this site, will they get what they were looking for when they entered the keyword in the first place? Hmmm…
