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...)
