Google Dropping Hosted Domains

[kubativity]

After all the talk google is finally dropping support for hosted domains

From their site:

If you have hosted domains in your AdSense account, they will be affected by this upcoming change, which will follow the schedule below:

February 22: AdSense publishers can no longer start using the Hosted domains product.
March 21: You will no longer be able to create new hosted domains.
April 18: Hosted domains will become inactive and it will no longer be possible to earn from them.
June 27: Hosted domains will no longer be available in AdSense accounts.

I never made anything from my google hosted domains so this really doesnt affect me at all, except now I have to do something with those names.

Something a Foot!!!

I think there is something else going on, as G de indexed all my parked domains. I find that a little strange because, some of them made good income. They all used AdSense, now as well as me not making any money, nor does G from them if the add feed is by another company. If you G them now, you get other domains pretending to be mine, with old content from my sites and adds associated with it. So the site takes my revenue and probably the G’s. I am going to do some more investigating into this issue, as I am not happy with losing my revenue! Also has G de indexed other domains that are feed by other providers? Some input from others would be appreciated, as I am going to contact G about it again, as the last time they did not respond!!! Something a Foot about this issue and I think its part of a big shake up in the domain parking industry by G!!! Co2.

I made the most from AFD so I'm disappointed to see it go as I was when they discontinued their video ads for publishers.

Currently using Above w/ Bodis and Voodoo. Nothing much w/ V, but one low $x,xxx sale originated from Bodis and they send timely payments...barely noticeable payments, but at least it's consistent so far.

That title don't make sense !

It should be:

"AdSense for domains"
(no more adsense for domains)

because all developed domains ARE hosted !:imho:

ehm ... What exactly does hosted domain mean? It is parked domain, or it is every normal domain with content?

IMHO

Looking exactly, parked and domains with content are hosted, but i think it's common that when speaking about hosted domains we mean domains with content and not parked domains.

For me current title say "google don't support any mini-sites, developed sites "
which is not true. They simply closed Adsense for domains.

Clarification.

I think what kubativity means is that, G is basically cancelling it's parking program!

February 22: AdSense publishers can no longer start using the Hosted domains product.
March 21: You will no longer be able to create new hosted domains.
April 18: Hosted domains will become inactive and it will no longer be possible to earn from them.

June 27: Hosted domains will no longer be available in AdSense accounts.
