iamsam	Posted - 02/21/2008 : 06:06:15 AM Are 123notary and National Notary Assn. the same company?

jbelmont	Posted - 03/27/2014 : 11:03:47 PM A lot has happened since this post was commented upon. Our forum was a lot more active back in 2006, 2007, and 2008, and then died down.
jbelmont	Posted - 04/24/2008 : 7:52:45 PM 123notary.com www.nationalnotary.org National Notary Association (NNA). Serving US Notaries for 50 Years! Why do they have to use my name to advertise still? I will have to bring this up with them. Lookup 123notary.com on google and you will find it. The NNA is using 123notary.com's name to advertise their site. I wonder if that is even legal?
radonotary	Posted - 02/26/2008 : 1:42:51 PM as well they should
jbelmont	Posted - 02/26/2008 : 08:17:45 AM The thought suddenly occured to me. I wonder if this blog will get published on google. Sometimes strings in our forum get on the first page of google. The NNA will hit the roof if they find out that what they did became publicized inadvertantly. I'm sure that whatever staff member did the imitation of us was not authorized and nobody in management found out... yet. But they will find out.
jbelmont	Posted - 02/24/2008 : 1:04:52 PM I saw the site pretending to be 123notary. It is stupid and not even functional. If anyone visits them, they will quickly come back to our site if they really want to visit our site. The sell mostly become a notary classes which is something I am not selling much of these days anyway. I will be optimizing my site for keywords notary123 and notary 123 which get a some search volume. Somebody already owns the site notary123.com and sells books for people in California to become a notary. Oh well. Thats their right. However, its not someone's right to misuse my company name. They can advertise under the keyword 123notary on pay-per-click if they like, but not use my name.. otherwise I might get mad.
vince	Posted - 02/24/2008 : 07:42:48 AM [quote]Originally posted by BrendaTx If I were Jeremy, I'd be all over that and send them a friendly cease and desist email. Jeremy's paid advertising, name recognition and reputation helps these others get recognized if he doesn't take action to stop it. If they are not up to his standards it could certainly hurt this group by association.
BrendaTx	Posted - 02/23/2008 : 10:54:03 PM Here is the other company hijacking "123 notary". Sponsored Links 123 Notary Finding 123 Notary Sites? Visit the Top Legal Sites. Notary.PanelGeeks.com If I were Jeremy, I'd be all over that and send them a friendly cease and desist email. quote: Originally posted by BrendaTx What happens is when someone can't remember 123notary dot com but they can remember "123notary" or "123 notary" (which is being hijacked by yet another company), they put the search term into the URL bar or into google.com search bar. The ad comes up as 123notary but it isn't. It's the faker. By using the 123notary trademarked name it is hijacking the branding for this site. Click on it and you will go to the NNA site. Search terms are one thing, but using the title of 123notary in the ad is another. But, if it doesn't bother Jeremy, it shouldn't bother me. I just think it goes to show that the NNA will use unethical ad tactics. It's interesting to say the least. quote: Originally posted by Lee-AR On 2/23, using MSN search, the following appeared under sponsored sites, center page, top spot: � Sponsored sites 123notary - www.nationalnotary.org National Notary Association (NNA).

BrendaTx	Posted - 02/23/2008 : 09:03:01 AM Email me, Jeremy. I captured it on PDF yesterday in case you wanted to see it. quote: Originally posted by jbelmont That is really interesting. I never noticed that before. But honestly, I am not really competing directly with the NNA since their offerings are very different from mine. On the other hand, I don't like them using my company name in their ad as that is not ethical and is deceptive to the users. I checked and didn't see the fake 123 ad there I am advertising heavily with google, but please understand that sometimes the ad might not show up for a few minutes or hours and then may re-show up. Google is weird in this respect. A bit unpredictable. Let me know if you guys see any fraudulent advertising and I can call the NNA up and ask them to knock it off.

radonotary	Posted - 02/22/2008 : 05:55:06 AM Yup
BrendaTx	Posted - 02/22/2008 : 05:46:04 AM quote: Originally posted by radonotary J., Sponsored Links mmmmmmmmmmmmm Yes. These are paid ads. That's why it is so wrong when they do that. It would be like me paying google to use the words 123notary and when someone clicked on the ad it would open up my website. 123notary has a proprietary right (I think that is the term) to their own name and trademark. Obviously, I am not creating my part of this story for amusement. IamSam also found the problem as well as did Linda. It is possible that the ad has been pulled. If someone from the NNA was reading this board this morning and saw about the google ad display, they can have it pulled quickly through google's handy AdSense creation tools.

BrendaTx	Posted - 02/22/2008 : 03:59:25 AM Same scumbag trick they pulled on NR through google ads. Google 123notary on any google search box. Here's what you get. 123notary National Notary Association (NNA). Serving US Notaries for 50 Years! www.nationalnotary.org Harry put a stop to it via Google. They pulled the NNA's fake NR ad asap.
