Google to Squash Domain Tasting

Domain Tasting, or Domain Kiting is a favorite business model of millionaires may soon have a good chunk of it’s revenue stream cut-off as Google and others are possibly getting ready to block domains in the (AGP) Add Grace Period.

This is where domains are registered by an individual or company, and then dropped 5 days later, no questions asked. In essence the domain is temporarily in their control. This enables said entrepreneur company the ability to register millions of domain names, populating them with temporary websites full of Google AdSense ads and other ads. Sites that show a good monetary return are kept, the others are dropped and fully refunded.

This has been quite lucrative to some, in one case generating in excess of 3 million a month for one domainer alone. These types of loopholes make it harder for the average joe company to compete and should be squashed immediately.
