You probably installed google-chrome or google-earth at some time. The 
installation process installs those repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d and 
sets them to enabled by default.


Heres a working google.repo file


google.repo

[google]
name=Google - $basearch
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/$basearch
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
priority=50

[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/$basearch
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
priority=50

[google-earth]
name=google-earth
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/rpm/stable/$basearch
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
priority=50


It works for both i686 and x86_64  systems. It has the repos disabled 
by default and uses the priority yum plugin.
Install it as /etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo.

Also the google repos were down for a period recently.
