Google Adsense Cracking Down on 'Tasters'

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.'"

Economic parasites

Tasters are economic parasites, pure and simple. Just like the biological kind, they exist because they can, and we can't really do much about it. Perhaps ICANN could, but it doesn't seem to be a top priority for them. I don't know why that is, but I assume its a mixture of greed and incompetence. I'm sure ICANN is either threatened legally, or are on the take themselves, or are simply clueless and think they have better things to do.

In short, just because something is obviously wrong with domain tasting doesn't mean that the world will change direction. It spins of its own accord.

If you're using the domains, you're not domain parking. What's the problem?
