Google URLs for Different Countries
Those who know me are aware of the fact that I like messing with international markets. Now, Google may or may not be the search engine of choice for non-English speaking markets (what we know about Google’s share of the search market is mainly true about the English-speaking market - elsewhere results may differ), but it certainly helps to rank in Google for those markets you want to pursue. I am not going to go into details on what it takes to rank in those country-specific Googles in this post - this is something that deserves a separate one. What this post is about is where people go to when they use Google in different countries (or what their ISP sends them to, or otherwise - in any case, there are plenty of uses for this info and you will find one too, I am sure).
What made me do this post is the fact that when I tried to find a list of all the Google URLs in different countries I was unable to locate one. All I could get was this post by Neil Patel which is all good info and I can only imagine how long it took him to collect it all but his purpose was different from mine, namely find ALL domains that belong to Google. In Google itself, I have found this list of supported languages and countries for internationalized Google Gadgets - and that’s it. So I had to complile my own list of Google URLs. I came up with 62 URLs so far. Here it goes:
google.com
google.ca
google.cn
google.com.pk
google.com.tw
google.co.in
google.ru
google.co.uk
google.co.jp
google.com.au
google.co.nz
google.com.sa
google.com.tr
google.nl
google.fr
google.co.th
google.it
google.gr
google.com.vn
google.be
google.com.mx
google.de
google.com.my
google.pl
google.com.hk
google.co.kr
google.co.za
google.co.il
google.dk
google.com.cu
google.cz
google.cl
google.com.sg
google.ch

google.hu
google.co.id
google.es
google.com.ua
google.se
google.com.pr
google.com.ca
google.com.ch
google.fi
google.lv
google.co.hu

google.pt
google.com.br
google.vc

I wonder how many more will be added to the list just a few months from now… Google is expanding like crazy.
