Are the word "PPC" and "SEO" considered a trademark?

[Smiler]

I'm just wondering if the word "PPC" and SEO is a trademark. I'm thinking about registering a domain name that has these two words in the it. Any Suggestions?

Anyone?

not sure but I doubt there's any trademarks, it's a pretty common term that is being used everywhere imaginable so I wouldn't worry about it.

No, there shouldn't be any TM issues there, if you use them as acronyms for Pay-Per-Click and Searchengine Optmimization..

Excellent. I just regged 3 domains containing the acronym "PPC" and I totally forgot to do some extensive research on Trademark Issues. I did notice that it is a very common word that many domainer use but I wasn't really sure if its a company like Google. Well I'm very happy to know that I don't have to deal with TM problems. Thank You lzy and Redleq for your feedback on this issue.

Trademark for what?

Generally speaking, a term (even an acronym) is a trademark if it's used as a
source identifier for an item in commerce. If you want to read more about it,
then kindly use the search box as there's a wealth of info here on the topic.

Hmm, this sounds like a candidate thread for the legal section.
