|  Found a keyword which is the name of a casino
Found a keyword which is the name of a casino. Getting 6600 exacts a month and not much competition. Reckon I can easily rank number 2 behind the casino itself. Can the casino stop me from doing this? Will they pay out if I market their casino? |

If you use a trademark domain or something then sure but I don't see how they could stop 'casinoreviews.com/casinoname' for example. | |

If there's something they can do about it then no, they wouldn't. If you use a trademarked domain or something they'll have it from you the moment it ranks. From what I understand though if your website is ranking without breaking any laws then all they can do to prevent you is buy you out or beat your SEO themselves. |

Say the casino is called ABC. I presume ABC is trademarked but would ABC Casino be trademarked? How can I find out? There is no mention of ABC casino being trademarked in their T&C's.

Do this, hxxp://www.related-keyword.com/casino-name-here/ Build most of your backlinks to the internal page (casino-name-here), rank the internal page. That way the casino or anyone else can't do a thing about it. |

If the competition really is that low you don't need to put their trademark in the domain at all.

Yukon is right. If you're not using their name in your domain I don't see the problem. What's to stop you from writing a review or overview of their casino? Wouldn't worry too much about it. |

| Re: Found a keyword which is the name of a casino
Competition is low but to rank number 2 with minimal backlinks, SEO etc I would like to put the casino name in my domain name. If ABC casino is not trademarked then can they do anything about it? |

At a bear minimum, they can lawyer you to death. Do you have the money to defend yourself against a large onslaught of lawyers? Where is the money in this? I don't see a long and costly legal fight over this domain, verses the potential revenue you can generate from this web site is a potential winning scenario. Maybe I am missing something, but unless you can see pots of gold with this web site, you are going to lose out, even if you win the domain battle. |

If you're determined to put the casino name in your domain then you are just asking for trouble. Unless you can do it without, my advice is don't do it at all. |

| Re: Found a keyword which is the name of a casino
I agree. I don't think this keyword is worth the hassle. Not to mention that stealing customers from the casino and then asking them to pay for them is morally wrong and something I am not comfortable with. As much as it hurts to walk away from this opportunity I know its the right thing to do. Thanks for all your advice guys. I will continue searching for keywords but i'm gonna leave brand names well alone from now on. |
