    Is it true that you can't put adsense on your site if you have the word google in your domain name, i.e. googlekeystats.com? If it is can you show me where it says that for future reference.

    It's a dangerous practice because if they see you violating one of their trademarks the easiest way of them to punish you is to remove your AdSense account. Not recommended.

    I thought someone here might know where it is already, I can't find it. I have asked Google but you normally have to wait up to two weeks to get an answer.

    Astroman I think you will just get band, I heard something very similar a few years back.

    Please excuse me but as this is a matter of urgency, I am trying to get some attention to this thread: Click here

    The adsense terms say you need to comply with googles third party use of logos and trademarks policy. Having google, Adsense, Adwords or any other google product name or trademark in a domain name does not comply with this policy and so does not comply with the adsense ToS either.
