Landed a nice domain name, but not sure if I can use it

I recently landed a nice domain name, but I'm not sure if I can use it. The name is a commonly used word, so it's not a name of a company or anything.

For example, let's say the word was "audiophile" and there's a blog hosted with Blogspot called "Audiophile," with a URL of audiophile.blogspot.com. Would it be safe for me to move forward with developing a site for this domain? From what I can tell via the Wayback Machine http://www.archive.org this domain was developed before, but the former site(s) no longer exist. BTW, I checked US PTO as well, and there's no trademark for this word.

 

I would have thought so, if the blogger was that bothered they would have registered the domain.

No trademark should be OK. As in the ad, just do it.

 

You'll be fine with it.

 

As long is there is no TM than you are good to go.

 

looks like you are safe with this one Cogno..

 

Thanks to all who chimed in; time to move full steam ahead!
