the title says it all really...

i am doing my first cpa offer and I don't know what the its means when they say

SEARCH: YES (no trademark term)

am i right in saying that if i promote a product called big tasty cakes, i cant try and rank for the keyword

big tasty cakes
big tasty cakes review etc etc

a bit of clarity on this would be great, i think im right, just not 100% sure

    Trademarks are usually put on product names, companies and sometimes commercial words. So things like sony and dell are trademarked. Big Mac is a product name that's trade marked.
    Best to avoid using these in domains and adwords as both could lead you into trouble.

    ok yeah i think i get it. still just want to confirm something.... say i promote for example a product called iheater

    if i go and build a site at iheaterreview.com or whatever and rank for the keyword term iheater and iheater review

    this is wrong and i am using trademark terms, right?

    example 2 -

    if i go and build the same site but build it at somethingcompletlyunrelated.com

    and then go and rank for the keyword iheater and iheater review, this would be ok?

    confirmation on this would be super fantastic. cheers all.

    For instance if you are marketing a "shoe" offer (bad example) you cannot use terms like Nike, New Balance, etc in your keywords. This is usually in place because the vendor does not want you to use their corporate name or brand.

    Hope that helps
