Does Google avoid indexing pages that include registered trademark signs?

[EGOL]

I am suspecting that Google often hesitates to index pages that have registered trademarks on them that are marked with a .   For example EGOL used in the title tag or in the

tag at the top of the page.

Registered trademarks are everywhere and most retail product pages contain at least one of them.  However, most people use the registered trademark names as text in their writing without adding the registered trademark sign of .

Have you experienced a problem getting such pages indexed or have you read any articles about how Google treats registered trademarks?

I dont think there is an issue having these Indexed. I used to work in a bank in Australia and for every page that has the word MasterCard in it, we had to put the trademark logo the first time it's mentioned.

If you click the link below searching for those specific pages, ie. "mastercard bankwest" the pages come up in search results and even show the registered trademark logo.

So if you are having issues with these not coming up in Google, perhaps they are not seen by Google as important pages on the actual website as a whole so instead it's displaying other pages first?

Try searching for "site:sitename.com" in Google and go through all the results and it should give you an idea where it's cranked compared to other pages on your domain.

Thank you for the example, Sandi.

I just did the site: query and the pages are indexed, just not ranking well.  Perhaps the need more time.

Thanks again.
