Re: Detecting parked domains

Parked:
  A domain hosted by a middle-man for the sole purpose of generating
  revenue from pay-per-click advertising. Characterized by having no
  content of value.

This definition *might* work for NANOG, but my parking friends would disagree with the above.

Has anyone come up with a quick method for detecting if a domain
name is parked, but is not being used except displaying ads?


AFAICT, the main challenge is to define what "parked" means in the
context of your application.
