    Hi Folks,

    Will there be any problems using trademark sub-domains?

    I would like to maximize the opportunity by adding the keywords as subdomain ?

    Any advice appreciated. :)

    Thanks,
    Tuning

    Trade marks are clear cut. Yoiu can not use them without the owners consent (although many do). Of course that is not true, as legally you are not allowed to ride a motorcycle naked at 100 miles an hour either, but you CAN do it.

    If you are using a trademark and the owner of that mark tells you to stop, then you MUST stop, as it is THEIR trade mark, plain and simple.

    The risk you run therefore is that they will not see your use of it until after you have done all your hard work and promoted those pages to the top of the SERP's. To lose them then would be heart breaking.
