No More Adsense for Tasted domains

The online advertising leader Google Inc. said Friday it would help
make it less lucrative to tie up millions of Internet addresses using a
loophole and keep those domain names from legitimate individuals and
businesses.



Over the next few weeks, Google will start looking for names that are
repeatedly registered and dropped within a five-day grace period for
full refunds.



Google's AdSense program would exclude those names so no one can
generate advertising revenue from claiming them temporarily, a practice
known as domain name tasting - the online equivalent of buying
expensive clothes on a charge card only to return them for a full
refund after wearing them to a party.
