Lost year on transfers of recently renewed domain names

Been buying, selling and transferring domains for years and this was new.

Did you know that if you renew a domain and transfer it to another registrar within 45days, even your new registrar said they give you a year renewal, there chance is chance that it won't happen, and you will only end up with one year renewed instead of two.

I remember transferring a renewed domain and it never happen before, until recently I bought a expiring domain and transferred it to Godaddy, I was charged by the seller for the renewal, and also by Godaddy for the transfer which promised a free year renewal.

Once everything was transferred, I noticed I got a year missing, done some research and guess what I found on Godaddy's transfer agreement, 4th paragraph

"4. TRANSFERS OF RECENTLY RENEWED DOMAIN NAMES
You understand that if You are transferring a domain name that has been recently renewed, there is the potential the renewal year will be lost. The renewal year will be lost if: (i) the domain name was renewed during the forty-five (45) day grace period after the expiration date had passed; and (ii) forty-five (45) days have not yet passed since that expiration date. You understand and agree that Go Daddy is not responsible for this lost year and that Go Daddy will not credit that year to Your domain. You will need to review the registration agreement You have with Your previous registrar to determine if You are due a refund or credit for the lost year. Please contact Your previous registrar if You have any questions about the lost year. You understand and agree that Go Daddy will not intervene in the recovery of any such lost registration years that occur during the transfer of Your domain name."

Well I can't take it up with the previous registrar since I wan't the owner then, and also the amount was too little to chase, well just a note for the future

Adsense for domain results

3 months ago I left 20 domains on to the Adsense for domain program.

And here 's the result, avg 10,000 views 1 click and 10 cent a month.

I think this was due to the low quality layout and page format Google is providing.

Conclusion is that I am out until there is better improvement.
