Lightbulb Goggle Cracking Down On Domain Tasting

Interesting article: http://news.wired.com/dynamic/storie...01-25-17-24-51

Cliff Notes:
Quote:
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.

Quote:
"If Google and Yahoo are not monetizing these types of sites, I think domain tasting as we know it will come to a screeching halt," Westerdal said. "The alternative advertising is just not as effective."

Quote:
The operators of the ".org" suffix already won approval to charge companies that make too many returns. The number of deletions dropped to 152,700 in June, compared with 2.4 million in May, after the new fee took effect.

I'm happy to see this. I haven't done it since way back in the days of Internic and their grace period which in most cases was up to 3 months in length or however long it took them to get an invoice out to your mailing address.

Domains were $35 apiece back then.
