electriic ink 1 Report post Posted May 29, 2006 3d44.com - A Google Twin? Recently I had just discovered 3d44.com, a seemingly exact clone of the popular search engine google. Many clones of the site, have a reasoning behind them. Take for instance 466453.com: If you look at the buttons on the keypad below: The numbers clearly make up the letters G - O - O - G - L - E. But with 3d44.com you can a combination of: C C C -OR D D D -OR E E E ????[/tab] PLUS.... C -OR D -OR E [tab] PLUS.... C -OR D -OR E Which clearly doesn't resemble google. So where does the mysterious masquerader come from? I don't know and there is absolutely no mention of it on google.com. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plenoptic 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2006 That is pretty interesting. Who knows what the relation of those two 3d44.com is. They both redirect to google after a few things link pressing. If you click on froogle it will all redirect in the end. I don't see why they would be twins in the first place though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetraca 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2006 They're just joke redirections. When I go to 466453.com it shows my login stats in the top right corner like google. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apurva 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2006 huh? Maybe someone might've tried creating same page like google but failed so re-directed it to google links.. Well just a thought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electriic ink 1 Report post Posted May 30, 2006 Well apparently, after some researching, there are a bunch of these domains out there. To name a few: Suchmaschine Optimierung Partner Upgrade My Wife Sex TGPNote however that all these websites belong to the same ip address (72.14.207.99) and therefore it's probably just a single server ripping google. Attempts like these are usually to achieve page rank 10. Another possibility could be that google themselves bought the IP address so it could expand. Now seeing as no-one the domain is active but nobody is paying for the hosting, there's a gap and google had just happened to have grown into the free space.

midnightvamp 1 Report post Posted May 30, 2006 Strange to see these sites. My question is why? I didn't actually put a search in for them, but even if they did work, why would you want to compete with Google, when it's so obvious that it's not google by just looking at the address bar. I'm sure Google wouldn't be using strange names like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2006 First of all, these site are NOT realated to Google Inc.A quick whois lookup shows that these sites are registered by random individuals.Basically, what these sites are trying to do is use Google content on their own site to have a content-filled website.The are probably using a simple script that will query data from Google and just display it, but, it will replace all the URL's containing https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=BwkjVKfAD8uH8QfckIGgCQ&gws_rd=ssl with http://www.theirsite.com/.I just sent an email to the guys at Google and they'll probably have these sites banned from the index or just simply shutdown.I will post an update when I get a reply.PaulJust another 15-year-old-webmaster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eauncarter 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 The site 3d44.com cannot be access. And the other site 466453.com just redirects to Google.com I think maybe Google owns 466453.com and about the other site I think it maybe just an idea of completely wasting a domain by an individual.
