domain Ideas about G00gled.com

[Skybolt21]

Was reading a forum this morning and saw the term 'g00gled' used which reminded me that I registered that domain a couple years back.

I'd like to see a few opinions on if it is worth anything and if it is marketable.

At the moment it is just forwarded to my business website.... I didn't know what kind of site to develop on it.

Thanks in advance....

trademark violation, regardless of your 0's instead of o's. I'd let it expire

mmm

Less than reg fee, sorry

You will have the BIG G going

Agreed. I would keep it as a redirect (if it gets you any traffic) but dont try to monetize it. If its not doing anything for you then drop it.

Good advice. The name itself is below reg fee. If it happens to get traffic, forward it on to somewhere else.

Have to agree -- you will have trademark problems with this one I'm afraid.

Mr G gives good advice :imho:

While a bit old, this free domaining ebook really covers trademark issues well: http://www.seemly.com/book.pdf

Thanks a lot, guys and/or gals. I'll probably just let it expire next time around. I'm not sure my lawyers could take on g00gle's lawyers, maybe I'll double-check with them.... Ok.... Him.

/never mind, he's out changing the oil on his truck right now....

That's a good idea.

And seeing as I don't see anyone having said it already, Welcome to Namepros!

Thanks, Reece. Been reading on the site and there's a ton of good info here.... I'll be keeping an eye on the forums.

I've never done much with domain names, but have registered a few here and there along the way thinking I'd develop sites on them. Now recently, two different people have emailed and each wanted certain domains I had, so I sold them for a total of $950.

I did absolutely no research before selling either one so thought I might be selling myself a little short and should start learning some about it.... I saw comments in a couple different places that this site was the place to go...

So there you have the boring backstory.... sorry!

BTW, here are the two sites I sold:

EZTV.ORG ($750.00)

and

GoPcola.com ($200.00)

I live around Pensacola, FL and we all call it "P'cola" so that is the deal with that one....

Did I do alright on those or get ripped?
