Google Adsense Cracking Down on 'Tasters'

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can't-hurt-things dept.

ZerothOfTheLaw writes "It appears that Google is going to eliminate Adsense for Domains for all domains younger than five days old. From the post 'The Good news is that the Quantity of advertising will be spread among fewer domains now and so those domain owners that actually own real full domains should receive more money if bid prices start to rise as a result of this. However some advocates of Domain Tasting say that perhaps no one will be able to serve the niche for some ads and no one will make money on the unserved ads.'"

    Slashdot has ads? One of these days I need to disable Privoxy, Adblock, and my Hosts file and browse the web like a normal person.

    Way to ignore his points. On another note, tomorrow I'm off to buy lottery tickets with my credit card.

    That's a good solution but scales poorly from slashdot to the rest of the web.

    Suggestion - post to this thread if you think likewise, and we can take an opportunity to express displeasure at screwing up a discussion system due to an utterly misguided attempt at threading adverts in amongst our own posts. I agree entirely, and I wonder how far this encroachment of adverts into discussions
