    Does anybody know if it is illegal to have the word "Adsense" in a domain name? For example, If I wanted to make an Adsense Ebook?

    Probably not. You can try asking google, but just see the "Legal issues" forum; there are lots of cases of people being sued or losing their domains just because having a trademark on their domain.

    AdsenseWebsite.com -> maybe trademark
    AdsenseProfitGuide.com -> maybe not
    AdsenseSuccessGuide.com -> maybe not
    AdsenseFromScratch.com -> maybe not

    There are so many websites using "adsense" name to sell ebook ralated to "adsense"...and google does not ban them.
    Just try to specific your domain to adsense ebook

    Strongly Agree. It depends completely on 2 factors.
    1. How you are using the trademarked word in your phrase.
    2. How you are developing your website ( if it is just a parked domain, then no copyright issue at all. )

    Regards

    Keep it something like Ebook for Success in Adsense rather than An Adsense Ebook. You can think of the difference.
    It is still difficult to say that you would not be sued.

    TIP:
    It will be less risky if you just create a landing page for an already existing affiliate product about adsense. In that case if your domain is struck with copyright issues, you will just loose your domain. Not the hardwork. But on the other had it will take a lot much efforts to build your own ebook and all setup to make it selling.
