How Many Leads to You Get from Your Website on Average?

[Crabcake Johnny]

I see from before you like bets. Here's one for you. Get a Golden Rule domain name with a site specific to insurance. After it's up I'll call my corporate contact at GR and show him the site.

If you don't get a cease and desist I'll give $100 to the charity of your choice. If you do get on you give $100 to mine.

Let me know and I'll draw up an agreement. Then again, depending on the site, you could be out more than $100 in attorney fees.

Wow, dyadvisor, you've really taken this thread off track! Still, the use of trademarks in domain names is something that should be cleared up. I'd hate to see someone get stung for following bad advice.

Anybody considering buying a domain name that infringes on another company's trademark (and you'd better believe that every major carrier on the planet has registered their name as a trademark) should take a minute to read up on the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act.

Basically, if you're using someone else's trademark in your domain with an intent to profit or in bad faith, the trademark owner can stop you fast. "Gripe sites" such as Kaiserthrive.org that don't have an intent to profit are allowed. The act allows the trademark owner to recover damages of $1,000 - $100,000 per domain name plus attorney's fees.

True. PayPal Alternative - Pay Pal Lawsuits, PayPal Complaints & Fraud is allowed because there's no profit. But go ahead and put up something like www.mypayapal.com and charge for services or make a profit and you'll be sued or at least a cease and desist.

But I have a great offer going for him to buy a Golden Rule domain attached to an insurance site and we'll let the fun begin.

That is why it is smart to know what words cannot be trademarked, I gave you a very clear example.

YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Go ahead and write about competition with the P &C Company SF and spell it out. They will come after you for that. If I write an article about super captive companies, I have to write Nationwide, Farm Bureau, S.F. and Allstate.

You missed my point on Copyrights, it you want to be safe, make sure it is common words used all the time. Then check the internet to see if someone uses that concept, like I used with Best Life.

I would have no problem with the domain bestlifeinsurancereviews.com

Also remember the first 164 character spaces show on the listing (about 2 sentences). So I could have the domain name: lifeinsurancecompanyratings.com

And on the title put "Metropolitan Life Sucks the Life Out of Clients" --- then--- Met Life is the worst life insurance company, almost like a bloodsucker. Their claims adjusters are anxious to stab you in the back. Here's why:

That is freedom of the Press. So smart use is possible, just use a little caution first. And yes you can compete for a company for a keyword phrase.

The amount of stuff you don't know is stunning. Would you really have given agents on this board "free advice" for them to register a carrier's name as a domain name? You could have got that agent sued or cost them their appointment.

Having an appointment taken away for a main carrier could cost that agent their career.

My advice is stick to things you know about.

Aaron: Good site you mention. One flaw in your statement. They have Amazon ads on the site that are certainly there to profit. Should the word be compete?

Healthagent - Get out of the muck, bet on your site.

Make it a smart bet, like I can send your website back in the rankings. Either I wedge a listing in between or I help the one in 1st place create a bigger distance between the two of you.

--------I did not tell an agent to do anything. I mentioned how common words cannot have a trademark. I also showed how you can name a page with keywords. Then I mentioned how you can take traffic away from a company. When you learn what gets internet people to react, then you also might be able to say something with meaning.

You're exposing a lot about your personality when you threaten (as you have in the past) to do others harm in order to prove a point. I'm still waiting for you to show up on page one for "health insurance training." Why don't you talk less and do more. Let's see it. I know you put up a site for insurance training but I got tired of looking for it after page 345,043.

I jumped on you - and rightfully so - by your suggestion that agents should participate in trademarket infringement and risk losing their appointment.

If you don't like being wrong, then be right.

OTHER THAN YOU WITH A CHARITY BET THAT WOULD ANNIHILATE YOU I have no problem with any member of this forum.

I am still waiting for you to make it worthwhile for me to show up on page one for health insurance training. The charity bet would be the incentive. The only thing threatened is your lack of knowledge of how SEO works. Others have told me in certain words what they thought of you. However I like to make up my own mind. You commit verbal errors like a lizard snatching flies.

Here's an interesting read on how a Budget rental agent got their contract terminated because they were advertising on U-Haul gripe sites. Think insurance companies would do the same thing? You bet they would!

Aaron_4sight: Excellent example. They should end up up like decayed fungus.

Now if they were actually selling the product themselves. Can you give an example? I know many are using the trademark name, especially in a review .

Also what about all the agents here that use "Medicare" a trademark, in their domain name? Let healthagent try to garble that one like a pregnant fly.
