Domain kiting

Domain kiting

Domain kiting is the process of deleting a domain name during the five-day grace period and immediately re-registering it for another five-day period. This process is repeated any number of times with the end result of having the domain registered without ever actually paying for it.

Google has recently said that their AdSense program will now look for domain names that are repeatedly registered and dropped. They say they will drop these domains (but they don't mention banning the users) from the AdSense program.
