One of the significant policies implemented by Google in 2008 is the introduction of a [[Domain Kiting]] Detection System, to stop the domain name registration abuses by profiteers known as [[Domain Tasting|domain tasting]] and [[Domain Kiting|domain kiting]]. The modus operandi of profiteers is taking advantage of the five-day [[AGP|Add Grace Period]] for domain tasting by checking and calculating how much a particular domain generates revenue from ads while parked at a monetization page. With regards to domain kiting, a registrant deletes a newly registered domain name before the grace period ends and immediately registers it again, to reset the grace period and postpone the registration payment.<ref>[http://www.informationweek.com/news/205918984 InformationWeek.com]</ref>
