How to change URL because "trade right" issues.

Hello warriors,

I have a website that promotes a direct sales nutritional product. My url is www.victorywithproductname.com.

The company said I have to remove their product name from the url, so my question is 2 fold.

1. After buying a new domain, what's the best process to change it.

2. What's the best strategy to avoid much SEO damage?

I plan on keeping the primary domain and using it as a redirect, I just can't keep the name of the website the same.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

    hmm. is this for a product launch or something?

    I see room for much abuse if what you are saying was possible.


    It's probably best just to start over with that project. Only this time, not infringing on a trademark.

    Trademark can not restrain free speech.
    Thus there are sites with the name Kindle in the url because they tell people how to write a Kindle book, how to format a Kindle book, etc.
    You can even have a site that says paypalsucks.com (think that domain is already taken)
    If my domain name indicates that I tell people how to use a specific product, then I keep it.

      Once you add any type of money/profit into the mix, free speech goes out the window, also if he is promoting the product, I think it would be safe to assume he is their affiliate, meaning free speech has no relevance when it comes to internal policies of their affiliate program.

      But back to the question at hand, more information about whats going on would be helpful. How long have you had the domain and been promoting the product? etc..
