Image via CrunchBase, source unknown Google dropped a bit of a bombshell yesterday when they announced that they were opening up Adsense for Domains to the general public (North American publishers first).

Domain Portfolio Management Made Easy – DNZoom

I was sworn to secrecy about DNZoom a few weeks ago, but as they’re about to launch they’ve finally given me permission to talk about it! If you have a reasonably sized domain portfolio then you’ve probably got domains spread across multiple registrars, parking services, hosting companies and marketplaces.
