I think you are allowed to use domain, but as long as the domain does not contain any word of the targeted phrase

[maxravi]

Thanks for contest..
Just want to ask one doubt to mod, is it the rule that our domain name cannot contain any keyword mention?
please clarify..

[Handsome]

Thanks for contest..

please clarify..

yeah it is mentioned:
You are not allowed to use the contest keyword phrase in your domain name,

[yurckk]

What if a domain name like this: mmaseocontest . com ?

There is mma but pound for pound isn't there.

[decipher]

Thanks for contest..

please clarify..

As stated in the rules.. You are not allowed to use the contest keyword phrase in your main domain name, however you can use it on a subdomain or directory path..

NOT ALLOWED:
keywordphrase.com

ALLOWED:
yourdomain.com/keyword-phrase
keywordphrase.yourdomain.com

What if a domain name like this: mmaseocontest . com ?

There is mma but pound for pound isn't there.

Yes this would be a valid domain entry.

[Handsome]

What if a domain name like this: mmaseocontest . com ?

There is mma but pound for pound isn't there.

MMA and SEO contest.. both re two different niche.. better to register domain with single niche

just a suggestion

[decipher]

I just got more great news about the contest... Just got off the phone with Chris at www.ProfightNetwork.com and we might possibly be adding more funds to the prize money..!

[toppedia]

Ha... More confusion here then if you allow this....
Since keywordphrase . com is not allowed, but somekeywordxxx . com allowed....

Then it could mean that mma-contest-pound-4-pound . com can be allowed....

Ha...

Just my 2cents that any word from the keyword phrase not to be allowed. But who am I, you're the boss....!

[decipher]

Then it could mean that mma-contest-pound-4-pound . com can be allowed....

Yes, a doman like this is allowed ...
