    It is a typo error redirect page. Since "P" is beside letter "O" they want to capture visitor miss typing their domain -- I guess :)

    Or more likely stop others from taking that traffic and impersonating them...They own tons of similar domains in an effort to protect their name.

    Just put in a url with any number of O's and its registered:

    YEs Google did this to avoid others from getting more than 10000 searches in a month that happen from typing mistake.
    But it has not registered its name for any number of zeroes.
