Issue With GoDaddy Parking Ads On Expired Domains - UDRP On Sandels.com (1 Viewing)

PPC isn't a bad thing. I use ads on domains that are clear products/services and are not really trademarkable, such as paydayloans.ca, autoinsurance.ca, ink.ca, etc...

And no, I don't generally try to filter out specific words from ads, it would be too difficult to predict every potential infringing word. If anything, I will specify the keywords for ads, but that is for optimizing the ads to ensure they are relevant rather than having random ads.

The majority of my domains do not have ads due to concerns of potential infringement.

I generally don't use ads on domains that are brandable and trademarkable such as acronyms, names, words that are non-product or non-service related, etc... These types of domains simply don't have any relevant product or service ads anyways.

The big risk that PPC users might encounter is the fact that when these companies optimize ads, you might see one ad, and a visitor from a different region or country will see something completely different. So you'll never know what ads are being shown where, and you also won't know what trademarks exist in random countries. Many good domains have been lost in UDRPs from a complainant in another country for this reason.

And yes, you can be sure that infringing PPC ads are going to invite disputes and many of them are going to be successful.

actually ppc is a bad thing if your registrar is one responsible for the ads

Another problem is not updating dns the second they buy a domain, and also for not defending themselves with a response to disputes.

Unsuspecting respondents have no idea you do
They dont
And if they have no website yet.... dns unlikely to change
As far as responding that's a given
No response will be inferred guilt 99% of the time

How about creation date
Why doesn't nodaddy update the creation date when a name expires and they sell it
Because technically it is not expired?

Yes, it's technically still in redemption.

It's actually a good thing for sellers as at least buyers (like with the TBR) don't mistakenly believe that you hand-registered it for $10.

The name was not on redemption

Well whatever it is at GoDaddy, expired but not yet at redemption or pending delete.

My comment had absolutely nothing to do with the specific part of the domain lifecycle a GD domain auction is at (Expired, Redemption and Pending Delete are all the same for this exercise), only that the next owner will effectively extend the domain renewal, not create a brand new one.

Therefore the original registration date will remain the same, just as it would with you or I renewing late on an Expired, Redemption, or even Pending Delete domain.
