elgooG

elgooG (word Google spelled backwards) is a mirrored website of Google Search with horizontally flipped search results, also known as a "Google mirror". It was created by All Too Flat[1] "for fun", which started to gain popularity in 2002.[2] The site found practical use in the People's Republic of China after the domestic banning of Google, circumventing the Great Firewall.[3] A WHOIS request shows that the domain elgoog.im[4] (formerly as elgoog.com) was registered to Google Inc. since 2000, but it is currently for sale.[5]
