http://www.gooooogle.com/ is as far as the real Google domains go it seems — after that it’s various parking scams (the damned “What you need, when you need it” rears its ugly head once again; sedoparking would be a profitable investment) and even some rather neat clone done by someone claiming to be “Martin Sewell” in the meta tag. There are three clear give-aways there though — first, the “author” meta tag, like I said; second, the fact that the source code is far too nicely formatted XHTML for the official Google page (I checked it just now and it’s still one hell of a soup — then again, I think that’s part of Google’s “optimisation” strategy that comes with a tiny bit of obscuration); and third, Google doesn’t use statcounter to measure its page views.
