New Google domains hint at “Google Express”

[Rockefeller]

A handful of domains were transferred to Google today — all of which are likely related. The one that sticks out is "Google-Express.com" though — it sounds like the service it is referring to will be used for something "fast" or to "expedite" something. Here is the complete list of domains transferred to Google:

GOOGLE-EXPRESS.COM
GET-ME-ON-GOOGLE.COM
GETMEON-GOOGLE.COM
GETONGOOGLE.NET
GETON-GOOGLE.COM
GET-ON-GOOGLE.COM
GETUSONGOOGLE.COM
GETUONGOOGLE.COM
UONGOOGLE.COM
YOUONGOOGLE.COM

The others are clearly trying to get us "on Google" — but what does that mean? I am going to take a guess and say it means "to be indexed".

Now here comes the speculation. Given this group of new domains, Google may be getting ready to provide a pay service for webmasters that will help in the quest to "get on Google". If this is indeed what is happening, the service would probably guarantee faster crawl/indexing speeds.

Google Webmaster Tools already lets you control how fast your pages are crawled — but the option for fast indexing cannot be used for most websites (it is disabled by default). The only two options available for me are "normal" and "slower".
