  • End of Domain Tasting?

    DomainTools writes about news from a confidential informant who says that Google may stop monetizing domains that are less than 5 days old.

    Domain Tasting is the loophole that many people exploit to profit from domains without even paying for them. After registering a domain, you have up to 5 days to cancel the purchase, in which time you can host the site and see if it it receives any traffic and how it performs with ads.

    With Google potentially putting an end to the ability to monetize domains less than 5 days old, this would remove the ability of tasters to profit from domains they have no intention of registering, or even to test the viability of domains as a revenue source without at least paying a 1 year registration fee.

    I certainly hope the news is true, but we’ll have to wait and see.
