Against TOS?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by Whitey, Jan 2, 2008.

    Hey, I would like to start a blog (on blogspot) that is about optimizing and earning the highest revenue possible with AdSense.

    I heard somewhere that having the word "adsense" in the domain of your site and putting Adsense on is against the TOS?

    Thanks:eek:

    yeh. It is. Can't use there trademark. Create one with adsense not in the domain and you should be fine. But the niche has really high levels of competition.

    in order to use any of google's brand feature, you need advanced permission from google. but in the case of domain name, here is what google says:

    Don’t register Google trademarks as second-level domain names
    >> which means you cannot register adsense.org or adsense.info or something

    Don’t use Google trademarks in a way that suggests a common, descriptive, or generic meaning
    >> which means you cannot register adsense101.com or some other domain adding generic word along with adsense

    Thats right Joolo, But the person who asked he said he wants to use adsense in Blogspot. Which is Legal. But the two people who responded to the question said NO its against the TOS.

    Choose your own name, don't copy a brand. How many times have you seen copies going BIG?

    So is it allowed or not?

    All I want to do is make a blogspot on adsence... wether it has the word adsence in the domain or not.
