    I always thought it is not allowed. Everyone remembers what Google banned AdSenseBlacklist.com from Adsense program due to fact it had "AdSense" in domain name.

    And what I am seeing today? I have a "www.AdsenseAdwords.com" as a Sponsored Link at the top of the Google results for query "top keywords for google adsense". Two trademarks in one name, and this site advertises itself via AdWords.

    So it is legit for Google if you only have "Site is not affiliated with nor endorsed by Google or Google AdSense. AdSense and Google are trademarks of Google, Inc. " lines in your Terms? I think this site was checked by AdWords stuff and recognized as legitimate one?

    "Google" is the company trademark name. It is not allowed to google trademarks in a domain.

    yeah trademarks mean you can not use it or mix it into your product's name. (even as a part of it) or another posibility is that site is running by google itself. ^^

    Google not allowed google trademarks in a domain. I have seen domain with 'adsense' word, after that the site change the domain name because Google not allowed it.

    Guys, I know, Google has Google Permissions page with the text:
    But how it is possible to advertise non-compliant site with AdWords? Are there no manual or automatic verification for such a cases?
