Quoted from Douglas Rasor-I lost my quote since I goofed up: "[I]My Realtor

You cannot use Realtor in a URL when it's in connection with a geographical location, example: newyorkrealtor.com. However, I believe when you use it with a name (joesmithrealtor.com) it's allowed.

You may not use the word Realtor as a description. You can not use the word Realtor in a url unless it is ONLY being used like you stated JohnDoeRealtor dot com. There have been several people that have these urls using Realtor plus their city and will be caught and told to cease and desist. We even have one here in Las Vegas that has till March 13th to remove the domain which is really nothing more than a doorway page.

Also if you are given a C & D you can not forward that domain, this is also a violation from NAR.

You guys have got a good feedback system and it's really good to see. I'm not ever going to Sell 'Right to Buy' Mortgages in the USA or Canada but what I am prepared to do on my site is putting a 'Fed up with the UK' page on my site and put loads of links to the Forum Members, so if anyone in the UK is thinking of 'upping sticks' and buying over there they will have a wide choice. I will need a general run down on the rules and regulations on how much time Brits can spend in a second home, or the difficulties in getting Permits etc, but I know you will chip in. I also know a few RealEstaters over in WPW, I am going to PM them about this forum as I think it's the best RE one around. One of the guys is a Warrior with loads of connections. I'm a member of the quite famous 'Band of Gonzo's'.

One thing I have found, and quite by chance is that if you plug into Tourist Information sites you will find hundreds of URL's begging for links on a non reciprocal basis. (if you clutter too many pages with links it can be a turn off).
I started one in Lincolnshire and I've got 14 e- mail confirmations in this morning.
Is anyone using this http://barremore.net/directory-list.html ?
