That's very good to know this! Day 3 and I am still looking into key words before going and buying a domain. Still sitting on the fence on what I want to start with. I have no experience at this and wouldn't of thought of this.
So people aren't allowed to buy a domain that has the name of a famous company. Could you tell me the "why"? Is it b/c of Registered TM or what?
Trademarks yup. Buy one with Apple in it and see what happens... or Kindle... or CocaCola... etc
When the Blackberry Playbook lunched I had 3 "Launch Jacking" sites up..
Blackberryplaybookprice.com and blackberryplaybookreview.com was 2 of them I cant remember the other one.
Come lunch day All sites were on page 1 out ranking the official BB launch site. I promptly received a cease and dismiss emails from Blackberry... After a few weeks I had NO CHOICE but to pull the site down.
Made some nice commissions in the opening weeks though;)
Indeed, buying a domain with someone else's brand in it will normally end in disaster, with your site more than likely being given a DMCA take down notice and pulled offline.

Thanks for sharing. In your opinion is GoDaddy any better than namecheap which seems to be the suggested one from WA? Thanks
