That Resembles a Norwegian Blue! Ending the Adsense For Domains Testing

The Adsense for Domains test has expired.  It is no more.  It has ceased to be.  I have stopped watering the dead houseplant under the ex-parrot.

After a month (and a few days) of my Adsense for Domains test, I am thoroughly underwhelmed.  I did cover the cost of a latte, so perhaps I shouldn’t complain.  The larger issue, of course, is that I have collected no data at all on traffic patterns and drivers that could give me insight on how to best develop these domains.  I could have parked these at one of the domain parking services with a lot less effort – or even thrown a one-page content site up and collect real data.
