It seems to me Google is determined to shoot itself in both feet. It is constantly initiating new policies re. website advertising that are having the effect of driving people out of the Adworks/Adsense market. Ostensibly these measures are designed to improve advertising return for advertisers but they will in fact lead to a reduction in the numbers of domains being registered as it becomes more and more difficult to justify registering domains which are no longer profitable.
