course, they cannot use regular AdSense for Content ads on URL like this because the Terms and Conditions say it can only be shown on websites that actually have "real" content.)
There hasn't beean a public announcement (that I've seen), but AdSense publishers who are currently using AdSense for Domains have been getting individual emails about the change, which has these timeframes:
- March 21: Cannot put AdSense on any new Hosted domains
- April 18: Existing hosted domains will become inactive and AdSense advertising won't be displayed when someone looks at them.
- June 27: Hosted domains will no longer be available in AdSense accounts (Meaning we need to have downloaded any necessary information about them before then).
They also say that: "going forward, undeveloped domains will only be served through our existing AdSense for Domains distribution network" - but I haven't yet been able to work out exactly what this means.
To continue monetizing existing undeveloped domains, we need to migrate them to a new domain parking provider - so I'm looking for recommendations for these at present.
There is a Migration Guide: to help people move existing Domains monetized through AdSense to other places here: http://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/5pn7W99IR8ElM3.
