They don't vet the use of Adsense units on an individual basis- any publisher large or small can get the code in minutes. It seems obvious to me that Google can't police the actions of publishers on a case by case basis. Their decision to not serve ads on domains less than five days old is simply a broad solution to the problem of publisher abuse in one situation.Yes they used to make money from tasters but they have made a business decision to no longer do so- a strategic decision, IMHO.

Domains cannot use adsense for the first five days after they are registered. This should eliminate the quick gains of domain kiting. Google has recently cracked down on domain tasting.
