It is a scam, but the reality is nobody will ever go to these domains, they will never be ranked in google or bing. So who cares. I could create a site called myfeedbacksite.com/google or google.myfeedbacksite.com.. same thing.
- speedplane 9y agoIf you owned one of those sites, you'd probably be a bit concerned. You're probably wondering right now if it's worth it to take action, wait for another company to do so, or hope that it never gets traction, like you suggest. Also, the domains you suggested are quite different from the current situation. A site like myfeedbacksite.com/google is clearly not owned or operated by Google. Very few people would be confused. Whereas a site named google.feedback is far more confusing. Not sure anyone would know if it's an official Google site or not.
- victorNicollet 9y agoYou should only be concerned about people who know enough to tell that `google.com.feedba.ck` is probably not owned by google, but don't know enough to tell the same about `google.feedback`. I really don't think this covers a lot of people.
- speedplane 9y agoTwo points: - I do think they are concerned about google.com.feedba.ck, those lawyers need to fill up their day. - google.com.feedba.ck is far more sketchy looking than google.feedback. It's far easier to fool someone with the latter, and therefore far more of a thread.

- bhartzer 9y agoActually, if you search in Google for site:.feedback you'll see about 45,700 pages of .feedback sites indexed in Google. They are showing up for many brand searches. https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A.feedback&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A.feedback&ie=utf-8&oe...
