This inconsistency creates confusion among Google users can enter a URL that contains the product name, but use the wrong format. The classic example what AdWords: Type www.google.com/adwords/ (with a trailing slash) and may be surprised to discover:

Therefore, we believe this here in first class, the number of Google products have both the name and path of the sub-domain version in practice and how many of them have one in place. And there's no rhyme or reason behind the choice of a subdomain from Google or access path?

First Rate tried the path name and sub-version field 50 different Google services and products.

First Rate tests in six formats URL:

* Http: / / name.google.com /
* Target = "_blank" href = "http://www.name.google.com/"> Http: / / www.name.google.com/
* Http: / / Google.com / name /
* Http: / / www.google.com/name/
* Http: / / google.com / name
* Http: / / Www.google.com / name

The results confirmed the suspicions First Rate: numerous Google's products is the alternate address on your place:

* 64% of products have both the subdomain and map versions instead (for example, and earth.google.com = "href http://www.google.com/earth" www.google.com target = "_blank"> / wave.google.com and land or www.google.com / wave).
* 14% if the name of the installation path, but not the subdomain (eg www.google.com/postini/ but postini.google.com).
* 12% if the subdomain is created, but not the name of the street – some of the services that generate the path set for the version without a bar, but not the version with the bar.
* 10% had neither the path nor the sub-version field created (for example, and android.google.com www.google.com target = "_blank"> / Android or insights.google.com and www.google.com / ideas).
Sometimes it is because the product exists in its own domain (www.android.com for example, or www.orkut.com) and sometimes it's because the product has a URL that was tested (for example, is really just a look target = "_blank"> at www.google.com / Knowledge / research).

More Details

First, put aside some of the evidence – Almost 100% of test URLs without www. Redirected to www. version.

This is true both for URLs that are redirected to a site (eg google.com / analytics redirects www.google.com target = "_blank"> / Analytics) and URLs that do not exist (eg google.com / android redirect = "_blank" target> www.google.com / Android). Hence, we have not considered the non-www target = "_blank">. version of the URL below.

62% of the products are not target = "_blank"> Creating www.subdomain.google.com versions.

Maybe we can let Google Off The Hook, like many Web sites with subdomains Installation does not allow www.subdomain release.

However, it is illogical and perhaps negligent, without But the fact that half of Google products that have a sub-domain = "_blank"> target version www.subdomain – and half not!

Finally, Here are the full details of all events. (Note that the software that controls the links we used not to report all the 302 redirects, said that all these 200 OK – if the status code for the test may be incorrect.)

Some other notables include broken URL:

Blogsearch
href = "http://www.google.com/blogsearch/" target = "_blank"> www.google.com/blogsearch/ (with bar) – strangely redirect href = "http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch/"> http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch/ that can not exist.

Feedburner
href = "http://www.google.com/feedburner" target = "_blank"> www.google.com / Feedburner – you would think that FeedBurner is large enough that a product must have a lot of people writing in google.com / feedburner

Website Optimizer
websiteoptimizer.google.com is another Google product with a name important route, but no sub-domains. First Rate loves this product is great for improving conversion rates for web page a client.

Conclusion

Well, actually, the conclusion is obvious: Google as a "multi-armed Hydra" is a variety of different business units and divisions, and this may be why there are no consistent rules applicable site?

To top it all, Google does not really need the attention – because, as a research firm, Google knows that if you can not find a website, you can always do a Google search to find (and why SEO is .. so important!)

Sometimes, results of Google search products are less than good, for example, can lead to an earlier version page which has no obvious link with the new version, or the words used does not match the name of the product and push the officer down the results page search. Or sometimes the relationship can not be observed! – But that's another story for another blog entry.
