To Take Down Goggle.com Web Site — Google Wants

Google goes following another “survey” site.

Google has filed a complaint with National Arbitration forum to get a hold of Goggle.com, Goggle.net, and Goggle.org.

Similar to another recent complaint over YouTube.ph, these domains forward to a survey page that then entices users to complete a number of offers.

The current page doesn’t imitate Google’s logo, but that wasn’t always the case. The site used to have a logo with a similar font to Google (courtesy DomainTools historical thumbnails):
