   I have always heard to never use product names in your url because many companies will shut your site down and your time and money are wasted. What are your thoughts on this?

   Thanks for the fish! Actually, you are still teaching fishing here. Sure, I snagged a couple of cool domains from your suggestions, but far more valuable was plugging these terms into Micro Niche Finder and checking them out. I stumbled across other search terms that have great numbers. Plus, I got a chance to see how your mind is working and what you consider a good term. Very informative. Thanks, again!

   Hello Tim,

   Yes you are taking a risk by using a product name in a URL. Fortunately, registering a domain name is around 10 bucks. Closing down your website would not be too big of a deal.

   This is especially the case if you have already have web hosting for your other registered domains. If it doesn’t feel right, then don’t do it. Some people are ok with taking the risk.

   It all boils down to your own code of ethics and what you believe is acceptable. I personally would not have a problem with it,

   Thanks Richard for your thoughts on this. I have wanted to give it a go, because it can really narrow a niche down, but I have heard attorneys for companies have sent some really threatening emails about doing this. I may just have to give one a try. The companies profit from sales too, so I don’t get it.

   i know this might be out of place but do you still do any squidoo flips or did that die out. I dont see many people talking about it.

   The way you find these niches is it with micro niche or WA or do you scan Amazon, cause some of these are mind boggling never in a million would i have thought.

   Tim, If you are asked to shut down a site because of the brand name in the domain, you wont lose much time or money.

   Simply send them a email and explain you need a couple of weeks to get things sorted, tell them you are waiting on your teach guy.

   Then do a .htaccess 301 redirect to your new domain name and within a week or 2 your new domain name will replace the domain with the brand name.

   You won’t lose rankings and the links pointing to your brand domain will now count towards your new domain(This only applies in Google as far as I’m aware).

   Usually its not the content that’s the issue, just the brand name in the domain. so you wont need to touch the contented unless requested by them.

   Another gem, especially “turkey decor” – It amazes me the things that surface that I would have never thought of.

    Thanks for your work Jen, PotPieGirl.. great stuff. I see you suggesting buyer keywords with very specific model numbers, etc. Personally I’d never use a big brand name in my domains but I might take different ‘classes’ of risks such as gray hat stuff…
