ZDNet also states “MarkMonitor.com is hired by Google to manage their domain inventory — registering new domains for upcoming products and gaining possession of domains that are already taken.”
Currently, AdWords.com, AdSense’s complementary service redirects you to the AdWords page of Google. As for AdSense Consulting, it appears that they have moved to AdSense2.com.
