It's legal... Unless it's trademarked, ie or you have some companies brand in your domain name. If it's not you can sell it, nothing wrong with that.

Typos are ALSO illegal! A website like gogle, for example. It gets too close to google, and causes one to ask WHY you would want to get a domain you can't use for ANYTHING ****BUT STEALING TRAFFIC****!

Curious ... I've bought probably 500 domain-names over the last 3 years, and I've never felt like that, at all.

It's unusual for people "oddly to end up owning a domain".

That's something that normally happens only because people make a decision to buy one.

When people word it with purportedly passive/neutral-sounding expressions like "Oddly, I ended up owning it", that's sometimes because in their own mind they're trying not to have too much responsibility for that. One of the possible reasons for that is that it's a domain-name which either contains or can easily be mistaken for someone else's trademark, or otherwise infringes their civil-law rights, and that's the only reason why there's traffic for it. If that's the case here, then you have a potential problem.

If it isn't the case, then just call me a skepchick and please accept my apology. And either way, welcome to the forum.

Is it a trademark name?

Obviously law can't sue you for that. However, you have to be very careful next time you take that action. Many cases like yours happened to people and they usually end up wasting there money.

There was actually a similar debate on our national radio about a week ago, some guy had the domain name "emergency.ie" and a local council wrote him a letter saying he had to surrender it to them, I think the outcome was that he was going to tell them where to go

I'd be tempted to run a preliminary trademark search on the phrase, and if that comes up empty, consult an attorney about trademarking it myself. Then sell them the domain at a nice profit or find a way to profit from the traffic.

Just a thought, but it's not legal advice. I can barely spell "law," let alone understand it.

Give as a little bit more information about how you achieve this and not knowing how? For example, what is the url, the name of the site (if any), the niche, the keywords you are using and if you have posted any links anywhere across the internet? Thanks cnbcallday

Other popular domain names are of adult nature, for example pornography sites and sexual matured named domain's. These seem to get tons of traffic without even doing much marketing, Especially if it's a popular sexually word name within the url. And another thing you mentioned that you had not much knowledge in marketing and development, this would make it hard to determine exactly good quality traffic. I hope this has helped.

Simple advice if you don't want to keep that domain sell it on flippa and make quick cash ;D
