Google took my Domain

[g.bewertu]

Hey guys,

recently Google LLC took my Domain via the company markmonitor.com (via ICANN.com) --- now all the work is gone, no more backlinks and nothing... any idea to have a workaround or something to get at least a forwarding to new site or something to save the backlinks (login not and url edit not possible).

thank you

Regards

I made a beginner mistake 7 years ago and put/mentioned "google" within the domain

gotcha. just to be clear, I was not trying to make fun of you or anything like that, I was really curious to see what the reason was.

Google is trademarked word.

You made mistake by have google in domain name.

Forget it and move forward. You can not do anything.

How to know if our domain contains any trademarked or copyright word?

Oops, that was a bad idea. Copyright infringements is the new way of destroying small businesses! Not that it's wrong because if you were the big G, you would do the same to protect your brand.

Search the US or UK or relevant trademark Office.

https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmtext

Or use Google search to find them for other countries... "how to search trademarks <country>"

This is a nightmare. Google support won't even respond if you have a problem with them.

Glad they didn't sue you.

this means there was link juice flowing and traffic flow because of appeal the domain had, having G on it. So, basically you've made enough already out of it. It's the normal bhw life to have such moments. Man up, you could do better man.

The mistake is in using their trademark. Domains 101... always check for trademarks before settling on what your domain is going to be.

You know that most on here or other forums don't use it for anything that is positive for Google/FB/Apple etc...
