I found tonight that an existing competitor of ours already has a domain that will be similar to what I was proposing to use, although the main words will be switched around and an “and” will be replaced with an “n”; i.e. XandY.com will be YnX.com.

Do you think I should abandon the domain name altogether and go with something different or can I use it to our advantage someway?

Jay’s Answer: If you’re thinking of the name as your primary website name, don’t do it. However, consider using the potentially confusing name it as a redirect to your primary site as a guerrilla marketing e-trick.
