Can I use the word adsense in a TLD domain name

    Is it allowed? I noticed when doing a search at namecheap some domains with adsense in them were registered, it's unlikely Google would have registered them. For example, would I be allowed to registera domain like howtomakemoneywithadsense.com

    BTW it is registered, but doesn't seem to have any adsense ads on it.

    Thanks

    But do you really want to be the first that adsense stomps on? Way back when I first got started I grabbed a good name with eBay in it. And put a stack of time, expense and work into a top product. The site gets going and then, believe me, when you get that email that tells you to "cease and desist"... you do!
    Try thinking of what "problem" you product is going to solve for your site visitors i.e. what words they're going to put into a search engine to find their solution, and use this to go search for a good domain dotcom

    I've searched and found a lot of TLDs with the word adsense in them, but strangely not to many of them had adsense on them, most were selling an adsense product. While I was planning to use adsense on it because of the high CPC I think I'll pass on it for now. I would hate to have my account disabeled.

    Thanks

    Why do you want to put word adsense in domain name? Maybe there's no problem with it, but I don't think it's a good idea, your domain name should include some words related to your site.
