You are making an assumption the customers won't click elsewhere, or that the diminishing utility of AdWords for major PPC buyers hasn't been affected. Often you have to amputate to save the patient :sad: I don’t see Google losing at all.

If you google me, you know I have the experience to say this. Though you are way off on google losing money on this. It is the opposite. Since most of the reputable advertisers no longer advertise on extended network, moves like this will actually help convince advertisers back to the extended network. The money that is left on the table will allow higher click rates on what is left, as conversions will increase. If you check Florida lawsuit about domain tasting, it amount to about $5,000,000 a month in revenue, that Google PAYS out. Granted they keep some but there net loss is little. Stopping domain tasting is a GREAT THING, that will only help with Trademark Disputes and the like. John,
