Which is the correct form: "have you gone" or "have you went"

If the latter (Present Perfect, interogative), than why are there a heck of a lot of more google results for this form compared to the former. 

Cf. the "google test":

 http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=opera&rls=en&q=%22have+you+went%22&aq=f&oq=&aqi=  

vs.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=opera&rls=en&q=%22have+you+gone%22&aq=f&oq=&aqi= 

Thank you,
Petru Si Pavel.

A much better test is from a respectable corpus like this one: http://www.americancorpus.org/ .
