LOL
I am still laughing to myself
So I got started in IM last year and registered several domains for projects throughout the year.
I will reveal my niche because I would like some input on the matter from Sensei Terry and Clan.
I got into wet shaving last year and decided hey what the heck let's check out that niche.
So I did some keyword research, and found the keyword "classic shaving"
Good traffic numbers, low competition.. looked good!
I sized up the number one guy and found out they are a company in Palm Springs, Ca and they are in #1 but haven't done much to keep that position over the last 10 years.
They are classicshaving.com
So I registered classicshavingformen.com, I mean women do shave too right??![]()
This niche site was JUST for men... ( sorry ladies)
So 5 months into Blog writing and link building, etc.
I have obtained page 1 for 3-4 keywords !!
SO HAPPY!!
For the keyword "classic shaving" I am in position #5 and sometimes bounce to #4 in GOOGLE!!
Well I have gotten a few sales, and life is GOOD!!
I get to work today and have a certified letter from a Law office...
DUM DUM DUM ( wish I could put sound effects)
The owners of classicshaving.com got their lawyers on me, I am cyber squatting, I am violating US Trademark # 3,550,121, must turn over the domain to them, cease and desist, etc etc.
Now call me stupid, but is it my fault they didn't lock up all the domains names?
I mean obviously they are threatened that in 5 months I did what took them 10 years!!
I almost feel like shutting down the site and starting the same site just under a different domain name and GETTING POSITION #1!!!
What do you guys think?
