    Default Dot tk cancelled my domain - has it ever happened to you?

    The Dot TK Abuse and Copyright Infringement department
    has visited your website today.

    Unfortunately we have to say that today we cancelled your
    domain XXXXXX.TK.

    At this stage, anyone, including yourself, is able
    to (re)register the cancelled domain XXXXXX.TK.

    However, upon registration, an actual working website
    is needed to complete the registration process

    We thank you for using Dot TK.

    Dot TK Abuse / Copyright Infringement team
    abuse@dot.tk
    I forwarded it to my affiliate link to test the traffic, and I got a few hundred from CL. Does this mean someone filed a complaint to the abuse dept, or did they just steal my .tk? I can't imagine them going through all the domains to check for "copyright" violations.

    Lol god no. That would be TOO obvious

    Say the site is 30DaysToFreedom.com, and I redirect via Achieve30DaysFreedom.tk. Is that still infringing on copyrights?? I think it's a generic phrase.

    Agreed. TK is useless. Even a .info or, -gasp- .biz is better.

    They cancelled at least three of my domains, some were being forwarded to my own blogs that had unique content, but when I wrote to ask why they cancelled my domains I never got a reply. They did tell me in their canned notice that the domain is free for me to reregister if I want, but one domain that they cancelled must have been a real prize to them because they're selling it now as a premium domain after seizing it from me. I won't register with .tk ever again.

    You must be being reported. There is no way they would be checking all the domains one by one.

    They often cancel domains with traffic just to place their ads there.

    Even if you can rank a .tk site in the first page of G they will take the domain from you and profit from your rank, so better buy an info for cheap.

    It happens always for me.
    Just buy a simple .info domain (there is also a trick to buy them at 0,46$) and you'll be fine.

    If you don't have any money to get additional domains .tk is AWESOME.

    It made me over $2000 in a few weeks. If .tk wasn't there I would have had a very hard time to get that much cash.

    I can't even remember how many of my domains they deleted since September

    None of those actually infringed any copyright, so I assume they cancel them at 1st report from competition without going into much investigations so I agree with who said TK are great for quick shot websites.

    I also got some canceled when I have almost abandoned the site and I am sure there was no traffic either on those.
    Since they delete domains with no traffic for 90 days, I also assume they lazily send the same notice when closing a website, regardless of the actual reason!

    I always avoided that as I was afraid they would have suspended my full account if they see I am registering again.

    Since I used to have multiple microsites there, it would have been annoying.

    Not sure why but a couple .tk's I had were deleted, they were old and inactive so that's probably why.

    I've seen some page rank 4 and page rank 5 .tk sites. So it can be useful and G is not turning them down just because they are free.

    Another thing is if they are getting abuse from .tk registrator company for their own gains. That's not a good sign.
