    Hi folks

    What do you think about launching a site with a very similar name to someone elses site?

    i.e. there is a website called www.website.co.uk (for example)

    i have managed to register www.web-site.co.uk

    The site in question dont own any trademarks to do with the name etc.


    Do you see any issues with such a close domain name?

    Thanks

    Dave

    If they din own the trademark of their brand then you can just go with it .
    But I will request not going for domain name with datch in the middle of domain name.
    Do read EXM and the disadvantages of having hypen or datch in the middle of domain name . Usually that will cause sound spammy to google , hard to remember by visitors, spoil on the keywords and it do not have much value on this kind of domain name.

    Not a good idea if they have intellectual property rights to their name, and if yours is similar.
