    LOL… who knows exactly what the trademark is?

    In France there is a big supermarket chain – one of the largest in the world – called Casino. Who’s to say that they couldn’t pull the same stunt with regards to the French market?

    Did Google ban “blackjack” across all your markets, or just France/Monaco? If the latter, I wouldn’t be too worried… LOL… just use “vingt et un” or any of the other French names/variations instead :)

    or con cunard…

    And add cochon to any reply.

    ie. Dear Cochons,

    Due to you being a bunch of con cunards (the almighty “C” word) you can kiss my derriere.

    No one can trademark a generic term, french or otherwise.

    OK, I was wrong, I just trademarked gambling and if you wish to continue to use that in any website you own, foward payment to….

    Your $2500 license fee is valid for 12 months. :D

    The ban is only for France and/or Monaco but they put my whole campaign on hold because the word blackjack was in my title, can you believe that?

    So I had to go back into my account and make sure I removed France, actually I just selected a few of the major world markets, did not want my account to be pulled because a trademard was issued in Albania.

    What’s next is Vatican City going to trademark “Bingo”?:D

    Sheesh…

    I only JUST got my Adwords account activated after Google flucked it up for about two years…

    … and it is proving to be a major pain in the ass to manage LOL.

    I think in the long run it’s better to do some targeting anyhow… but I completely agree that the account should not be put on hold – not especially after the hassles I just went through.

    I don’t think the VC will ever admit that they trademarked “Bingo” – like RTG, they just allow someone else to claim to be the sole marketing agent :)

    I bet you they now also own “soddingpriests”, “celibacysucks” and a few other choice domain names, though… :D

    Dean – LOL.

    :D :D :D

    Hahaha, on the domain names!

    Google has been flucking me up for some 6 months now too – I have considered changing my name and coming back as someone new. tongue2.gif

    Admittedly I get so irritated with them that I stay away for prolongued stretches of time after I have been put on hold again.

    Google adwords sometimes makes me wonder if it’s worth the trouble at all – but they do work. When I can get them to work. Sometimes they work for months and suddenly – no more. Start all over again. xeye.gif

    I never thought this slogan from a bumper sticker would ever have a place where I’d be repeating it

    but when you mention adwords…

    lets see, how’d that go…

    oh ya

    KILL ‘EM ALL AND LET GOD SORT THEM OUT! :bigsmile:

    just kiddin’ adwords people. please don’t start shutting down my campaigns every 500 impressions instead of 1000. You’re already Five dollaring me to near death.

    I had a few hits once on one of the sites from VC and couldn’t help but wonder if it was PJP himself.

    Maybe it was a search for “the 10 cardinal rules of video poker”.

    Hey! Greedyhog is in the top 20 on google for that. 😮

    Love the bumper sticker BB. :D
