Is it possible to include 'GOOGLE" keyword in my domain?
Let say if my company name is "google adwords master", can i register my domain as "googleadwordsmaster.com". Will that cause any trademark/copyright issues?

Thanks

  • Yes, it will cause problems. Not recommended at all.

  • Google is a branded trade marked name just like other businesses such as Panasonic, Philips etc.

    Google has in the past taken legal action against people who have use "Google" in the domain name.

    The list of domain names below are real examples of domains that Google has taken legal action against:

    googlecheckout.com
    googlegameroom.com
    googlr.com
    googlesex.info
    sexogoogle.com
    googleporno.com
    googledataentry.com
    googlevideo.com

    I would not run the risk of building a website/business on a domain with a big company trade mark name in it.

  • I wouldn't advise you to do this. It is a problem waiting to happen.

  • No no no.

    The last thing you want to do is spend your time, and possibly money, developing the site, only to have it taken down in the blink of an eye.
