A confidential informant says Google will stop monetizing all domains if
they are less then five days old. This potential new policy change by
Google could stop all Domain Tasting in its tracks.

The gravy train of free money might be coming to a halt very fast. This
policy change at Google should be announced to the channel partners soon
and it will have a huge echoing impact on the Industry.

Oh well.  There are some ccTLDs that offer domain registration for
something close to 1 USD per year.  A few clicks suffice, and you're
profitable.  This will only get worse if the gTLD loophole is
plugged. 8-(
