Domains containing word 'google'

    Does it make sense to look for domain with 'google' inside, i.e. mygooglesite.com or ilovegoogle.com?

    • Should this site be related only to web business?

    • Will this be a problem with Google (penalty, low PR, bad SERP, etc.)?

    • Can this magic word improve site traffic, SERP, PR, value because of "high value" keyword?

    • Do you have any experience in this field?

    Well it certainly is a TM.
    Google though,seems to be a company that does not crack down as much as some of the other
    TM holders whose threatening legal letters and lawsuits you read about frequently.

    Oh, just use the search box, funa. You'll soon find your answers...

    ...unless you're really prepared for the potential consequences, given that the
    big G is one of the most uniquely famous marks on the planet.

    And no, just because others are doing it and seemingly getting away does not
    mean they will get away with it. Not everyone gets caught for speeding, but
    those that do tend to pay a high price.

    I will not recommend to use that domain as it can lead to trademark issues.

    Even if something has a chance of being risky, it's not worth developing.

    I think you can't have domain names with google in it, it's trademark registered to Google and will charge you legally.
