Not good because its a trademark and google could take that right away from you without a second thought.

Well, I would say that the domain "contains" a trademarked name. While I'm not an expert or a lawyer, what I have seen is that you can have domains like this and may be able to keep them and use them if you do not try to pretend you are the company that owns the trademark or have things that would upset the company.

If you had a site that had content that did not infringe on the property of the trademark holder, and that seem to make some sense why you would have a name that was like the trademark, you might be able to keep it.

This name is not a good example, because the name itself sounds like it's going to be owned by Google. Another Google site.

I did a domain search at domaintools.com and found there are 26,388 domains that are currently or have been registered that contain the word "google". So I would say it has been fairly popular, despite the risk involved on owning it.

Great Point!

He also might run into some problems at the "big" message boards that sell domains, as the domain police will get on him.

But TM domains can be quite lucrative, more so in the affiliate end of the business.
