From the page: "Clearly, Google is aware that this is a domain name search. Note the "results from websites with similar addresses" and "try another domain name" suggestions. Could you imagine your reaction if you walked into a library, asked a librarian for a specific book by name and the librarian came back with other books she recommended saying, "Oh, yes, we do have that book but it's a work in progress. I've retrieved for you these other books I think are more relevant." Next time, wouldn't you just go to the shelf yourself? Or, what if you hopped in a taxi and gave the driver your destination address and they refused to drive you to the specified address and instead dropped you off somewhere else they thought was a nicer location. Would you ever use that taxi company again?
Blocking domain names from the Google search index is nothing new. I haven't noticed this domain name search hijacking before, though. It seems a bit arrogant on Google's part to block a domain itself, simply because it is parked or under construction. Keep in mind that Google runs AdSense for Domains. They profit from parked domain revenues. Why hijack domain name searches? Isn't this akin to domain hijacking or browser hijacking?"
