Buying a "tainted" domain

    Hi

    A few years ago someone purchased a domain name very similar to my own. I discovered this one day when I went to purchase the domain myself. From time to time I have checked to see if the domain was available/expired and now I see that it will be shortly.

    My concern here is that this domain was banned from the AdSense program some time ago. Since I use AdSense on my own domain, I am concerned that if I purchase this similar domain (as a new owner and as someone who has never previously owned the domain), it could create a risk for me and affect my existing relationship with AdSense.

    If I do purchase this similar domain, I plan to do nothing more that park it. I do not plan to develop it or place ads on it.

    Any suggestions on what (if any) the risks are or what factors I should take into consideration before buying?.

    Thanks, BJ
