Has anyone come up with a quick method for detecting if a domain name is parked, but is not being used except displaying ads?
I don't think it is possible: "being parked" cannot be defined in an algorithmic way. My own domain sources.org does not even have a Web site (and I swear it is not parked).
Let's try:
* Bayesian filtering on the content of the Web page, after suitable training?
* Number of different pages on the site (if n == 1 then the domain is parked)?
* (Based on the analysis of many sites, not just one) Content of the page "almost" identical to the content of many other pages? (Caveat: the Apache default installation page...)
Dont forget there are mail only domains. I used to have one. Now it is used to forward html somehow to my real homepage. ; <<>> DiG 9.1.3 <<>> -t any peter-dambier.de @212.227.123.12 ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 28472 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 6, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;peter-dambier.de.
