One of the significant policies implemented by Google in 2008 is the introduction of '''domain kiting detection system''' to stop the domain name registration abuses by profiteers known as [[domain tasting]] and [[domain kiting]].The modus operandi of profiteers is taking advantage of the five-day '''Add Grace Period (AGP)''' for domain tasting by checking and calculating how much a particular domain generates revenue from ads while parked at a monetization page. On the other hand, in domain kiting a registrant deletes a newly registered domain name before the grace period end and immediately register it to reset the grace period to postpone the registration payment.<ref>[http://www.informationweek.com/news/205918984 informationweek.com]</ref>
